2003 Clemson vs South Carolina Football: 63-17

- On a late fall night in November 2003, the Clemson Tigers administered one of the most savage beatdowns in the history of the Palmetto Bowl series, as Charlie Whitehurst and Chad Jasmin turned Williams-Brice Stadium into their own personal Bojangles. When all the feathers had been plucked and all the chickens had been fried, the scoreboard read 63-17. Though the hometown scoreboard operator did his best to quickly turn out the lights on the latest Gamecock low point, generations of Clemson fans would nonetheless fondly remember the night the lights went out in Cola. As Lou Holtz marched up and down his sideline all night, powerless to stop the onslaught on both sides of the ball, a resurgent Tiger team continued an improbable run that would include 2 top 10 victories and 2 wins over different coaches with 200+ wins.
The Clemson defense, led by linebackers Leroy Hill and John Leake and featuring a fierce front four and opportunistic secondary, opened the game in appropriate fashion with a sack of UofSC QB Dondrial Pinkins. Before the unwashed masses in Willy B had time to throw up a middle finger or toss some doodoo ice on the field, Charlie Whitehurst piloted an aerial assault punctuated by 3 deep strike TDs to Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, and Ben Hall. As the Clemson defense pounded the Gamecock offense into submission while mixing in a couple of Jamal Fudge interceptions, Tommy Bowden unleashed senior running back Chad Jasmin who rang up 4 TDs while overshadowing his overhyped counterparts in garnet and black. The night was capped with a long TD run by backup QB and future all-conference WR Chansi Stuckey, as the poor Tiger mascot found himself executing 315 push-ups en route to 63 points. Whereas kicker Aaron Hunt began his career against the cocks with a game winning FG as a freshman, he merely had to settle for 9 extra points in his final game in the rivalry.
It would take the Tigers another decade and change to truly build upon the momentum Charlie Whitehurst and crew generated during that magical run in 2003, but the shock and awe that transpired that night gave Tiger fans a glimpse into what the future would hold under a then first year WR coach who spent the evening signaling in plays. Few could have known at the time that young Dabo Swinney would have more national titles before the age of 50 than HOFer Lou Holtz, or that fired Gamecock coach and Bowden family confidante Brad Scott would watch his own flesh and blood help bring Clemson to the summit of college football. As the final whistle sounded, Coach Tommy Bowden enjoyed a well deserved ride on the shoulders of his players, as perhaps in his finest hour in orange he carved his own place in Clemson history alongside the immortal memories of 45-0 and 56-7. Somewhere in orange heaven, the dearly departed Jim Phillips looked on and smiled, while in another part of the universe entirely, the bloated strains of "Touchdown Clemson! Touchdown Chad Jasmin!" cycled into eternity.

Thanks for visiting Shadow of Death Valley #ALLIN
Duane Coleman was a straight up gangster on that team. Great block on the Whitehurst keeper and he brought the swag in the Peach Bowl.
@Jody Whitt, Yessir! Beat the brakes off Tennessee after Head Coach Phillip Fulmer talked all that trash about having to play Clemson. He asked, who is Clemson anyway? I've been in the top 3 all season and our guys deserve a more worthy opponent than Clemson. He was really upset about it and talked mad trash on ESPN. The next day Tommy went on ESPN and asked, hey Philip, you know who Clemson is now? 😂😂🤣🤣
@@chucklucas5326 YES. That is an all time classic moment right there!
Yep, this is it. I found the best video on UA-cam.
Had a blast at that game until a bottle was cracked over my face walking to the car. Still have a visible scar on my left eyebrow... Badge of honor
Surprise there was a Coot still around at the end of the game, lol.
@@erikkunkle9574 more than one, I was cuffed , stuffed and then released since I wasn't drunk, but some coot out there had to have surgery after his eye socket was crushed.
@@bubbaclemson5566 yea buddy!!!!
I’ve been to two games at Carolina… I’ll never do that again. I was 12 at the time and was cussed out by a grown man.
I was 13, I remember being cussed out by a grown man at the Anderson Ingles on Main. He said we were about to lose big. Ill carry this joy to my grave, and your misery whoever you are you miserable coot.
I remember it like yesterday...Go Tigers! I did really respect Lou...great guy.
Back then maybe, if you were uninformed. but not today. that guy is a sad sack these days.
Charlie Whitehurst was a Badass!! I always thought for sure that either Watson or Lawrence would have broken the high score record in this rivalry.
Very well done on putting this video together. The leadup, music, play selection everything.
Great memory! Also, hilarious captions and awesome soundtrack! Thank You!
Was that Tony Elliott that caught that pass who is currently Clemson's offensive Coordinator
Yupp sure was, Jeff Scott former Co-Offensive Coordinator was on this team too
Clemson was sneaky good that year.
Always enjoy when you drop a video!
This was such a total old fashioned butt whoopin!!! Crazy thing is Lou thought they were ready....sorry Lou! Thanks for this vid!!!
Who in their right mind thinks that a rooster crowing over the loudspeakers is cool? And why would they use it to announce when their opponent scores?
Gotta respect Holtz’s statement at the beginning. I hate he got caught up in that mess down there.
That rooster crow sure is intimidating isn't it. Lol. Go Tigers!!
This Game was over in the 1st Quarter
This was not a defeat, this was a slaughter house
Solid music selections in the background.
When my uncle Larry got super drunk and hauled out by security because the gamecocks were losing this bad. And it was in the second quarter. 😂
I remember this game. Their fans came in drunk and talking all kinds of mess. After the ass whipping they wanted to fight and throw trash. Classless bunch. I so look forward to whipping them EVERY year. Go Tigers!!!!!!
I was there, the trash was real in this game, they got salty real quick, we ended up taking down one of the gamecock corners. lmao
I've heard it gets nasty down in Columbia. If you wanna see a Clemson Carolina game go to Clemson.
Fun Fact: My brother played from 99-2003. I witnessed Gamecock Fans fighting among each other inside of the stadium, & I even watched an elderly lady cutting a man's chest wide open after he pushed her down and punched her! It was absolutely NUTS & both were absolutely arrested! And this was the last time I ever went to Williams Brice Stadium. But nonetheless, one of my fondness memories as well! This was back when the rivalry was a real rivalry! I miss those days! Then of course, the fight broke out the year after this beat down on the field after the Malice @ The Palace. Which absolutely helped in erupting many of the emotions on the field that day imho. I'm just glad Clemson Nation handled it so maturely the following season when we ended Lou Holtz career! 😏 🤷♂️
Clemson tigers and South Carolina gamecocks is both of my college football teams and that is straight facts 💯
I remember this game very well and the next day lou holtz fired 5 coaches on his staff the next day
Are you sometimes redundant redundantly?
I wonder if that receiver thought is it that only Bush hes gonna get that night
Love me some daddy joes! Good times there!
Of all the games I've ever watched in Clemson history I've seen harder hits in this game than any game I've ever seen and in clemson history And I'm not trying to disrespect Clemson history I bleed Orange and purple and I believe in Clemson from the day my father show me their games I love you Clemson I am ALL IN 🐅🐯🐅🐯🐅🐯 and🖕 🐓
I watched this game sitting at the bar in daddy joes in gaffney
good ole Charlie Whitehurst, what a stud
Greatest chicken killer of all time
@custombimmer, Yessir! He's the only QB on either side of this rivalry who played all four years without ever losing a Palmetto Bowl.
I remember wanting to be Leroy Hill. I couldn't wear 43 in high school so I wore 42.
I was at this game froze my ass off we got the hell out of their at halftime
Ahh. One of the classics!
We may have charred the chicken here... oops! 😂

USC was 1 pt fav. What happened???
Is that coot superfan Carolina Jackpot at the 26:05 mark? He probably did have better hair than Charlie, then!
14:04 this William Christopher guy knows a thing or two... you should probably listen to what he has to say, Tommy.
Title of show This is Why We SUCK
Holtz - "I never been hurt ligat."
Great music. Metallica helmet. Pantera... 🤘🤘

@Shadow of Death Valley I have a signed game ball from that game! And would not sell it for a million dollars, no sir there is no way in heck I would part from that thing! Now does anybody blame me? "How 'bout 'em Tigers!"
Lou put the blame on the players , and after fire some staff .
Actually he said ‘when players fail to learn it’s because the coaches failed to teach them’.
