COLUMBIA, S. Andrej Sekera Jersey .C. -- Connor Shaw threw for one touchdown and rushed for another as No. 10 South Carolina won its record fifth straight over No. 6 Clemson with 31-17 victory Saturday night. The Gamecocks (10-2) won their 18th straight at home, extending a school record set earlier this year. For Shaw, it capped the seniors home career at a perfect 17-0 as a starter in the sweetest way possible. The Tigers (10-2) had never lost five consecutive games to their rival in a series that began in 1896 -- which they still lead 65-42-4 all-time. The loss also left record-setting quarterback Tajh Boyd 0-for-4 against the Gamecocks. South Carolina put things away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to break away from 17-all tie. Mike Davis had a 2-yard scoring run with 11:47 left and Pharoh Cooper threw a 26-yard TD pass to Brandon Wilds. The Gamecocks rushed to the student section in when the game ended, celebrating the unprecedented streak. South Carolina may have more to celebrate Saturday: If No. 19 Texas A&M defeats No. 5 Missouri, the Gamecocks would head to the Southeastern Conference title game to face fourth-ranked Auburn. Many in the crowd remained to watch as officials showed the Aggies-Tigers game on the stadiums 124-foot wide video board. Clemson left the field defeated again and wondering why an offence that sets records in every other game struggles at the hands of its rivals. The answer this time was easy: six turnovers, three which led to touchdowns. The most crushing miscues came in fourth quarter when defensive end Chaz Sutton ripped the ball from Boyds arms with the Tigers driving for the tying score deep in South Carolina territory down 24-17. When the Clemson forced a punt moments later, Adam Humphries fumbled the punt back to South Carolina. Thats when Cooper pass to Wilds put the game out of reach. Boyd, always a step behind in the rivalry, gave the sold-out crowd at Williams-Brice two final mistakes to cheer about with a pair of interceptions in the final four minutes. Boyd finishes his career throwing five interceptions and getting sacked 19 times in four games with South Carolina. Shaw completed 14 of 26 for 152 yards and a 9-yard TD throw to Shaq Roland. Shaw also ran for 94 yards and a 3-yard touchdown. Clemson was desperately trying to escape the 365-day-a-year yoke of its long, long series losing streak coming in. Boyd, the one-time Heisman Trophy contender, has chalked up 57 school and Atlantic Coast Conference records in his career, yet had always come up short in the season-ending game. Boyd even took a sack by Jadeveon Clowney, who taunted the quarterback this summer by saying he was scared of South Carolinas defensive front. Clowney hadnt had a sack since Sept. 14 against Vanderbilt in game three, but put Boyd down to stop a second-quarter drive. Boyd ended 19 of 27 for 225 yards with two interceptions. He was sacked five times. Boyd came out firing on Clemsons first drive, going 5 for 5 and leading the Tigers to the South Carolina 30. Thats when Watkins underthrew Humphries on a half-back pass and Brison Williams moved in for an easy interception. Shaw led a steady, 17-play march down the field that ended with the seniors lunging, 3-yard TD. The 17 plays marked the longest Gamecocks scoring drive of the year. It didnt take long for Clemson to answer back, Boyd finding Watkins for a 57-yard catch and run. Two plays later, Boyd tied things on his 8-yard run. The Tigers looked like they might gain back the momentum after forcing a South Carolina punt. But Humphries and Martavis Bryant collided and Gamecocks linebacker Skai Moore recovered. Shaw had a 16-yard pass to Connor McLaurin to get to Clemsons 8, then followed that with a TD pass to Shaq Roland. Clemson cut the lead to 17-10 at the end of the half on Chandler Catanzaros 38-yard field goal. The Tigers had averaged 30 points in the first half of their past four games. They had not been held to this few since trailing Florida State 27-7 after two quarters on Oct. 19. Bill Ranford Jersey .com) - Guard Greivis Vasquez and forward Patrick Patterson, two key pieces to the Toronto Raptors run to an Atlantic Division title in 2013-14, were both given qualifying offers by the team on Saturday. Leon Draisaitl Jersey . But last years runner-up Jarkko Nieminen crashed out despite winning the first set against Denis Istomin. Istomin fired 10 aces and won 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-2 to even his career record against Nieminen at 3-3.NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessees ever-increasing list of injuries now puts the Titans into position to evaluate rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger in an area they hoped to avoid.The rookie sprained his right, throwing shoulder Sunday when sacked by J.J. Watt, knocking him out of the Titans 45-21 loss to the Houston Texans. Mettenberger couldnt return in that game, and his status for Sunday hosting the New York Giants is in question.But coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday the sprain isnt as bad as the Titans feared with Mettenberger moving pretty well. They have to see how the rookie recovers during the week, and how Mettenberger handles his first NFL injury will give the Titans another glimpse into whether he can be their quarterback past December.Thats what the NFL as a player is all about, Whisenhunt said. Its a tough game. Youve got to be able to do that. Youve got to be able to rally and come back and play. ... You certainly dont want put players at risk. Thats not what its about. But you dont feel great this time of year in the NFL no matter what youve done so you have to work through those things.Mettenberger already was playing behind a patchwork offensive line when hurt. The Titans played without three starters — left tackle Taylor Lewan, centre Brian Schwenke and right tackle Michael Oher — because of injuries. Oher heard a pop during warmups and didnt play, leaving only six linemen available. Right guard Chance Warmack hurt an ankle later in the third quarter.Watt landed on Mettenberger after the rookie threw a pass to Kendall Wright in the third quarter, and the rookie couldnt return. Mettenberger was 13 of 19 for 184 yards with a touchdown and an interception with a passer rating of 95.1.The onee interception was a pass that led to receiver Justin Hunter being hit and lacerating his spleen. Benoit Pouliot Jersey. Hunter went to a Houston hospital and remained there Monday, though Whisenhunt said Hunter has stabilized and should be released within the next couple days. Asked if Hunter will miss the rest of the season, Whisenhunt only said they will know more later this week.On the throw Hunter was hurt, Whisenhunt said Mettenberger should have thrown the ball to the other side of the field.The sixth-round draft pick out of LSU said after the game hes a tough guy and expects to play when the New York Giants (3-9) visit Sunday. Whisenhunt said the soreness will be a factor in how well Mettenberger can throw.The Titans now have lost six straight and 10 of their last 11 overall. Whisenhunt said they havent seen Mettenberger yet in a tight game late or with the Titans protecting a late lead.Were getting some evaluation of Zach in as tough a situation as you can possibly be in, Whisenhunt said. Theres no question what were seeing him do is invaluable as far as evaluating him.If the rookie quarterback plays, whether he has his starting tackles back remains to be seen. Lewan is out of the walking boot trying to strengthen his sprained left ankle. Oher missed the first game of his six-year career.The Titans are in the easiest stretch of their schedule with a combined seven wins among the next three opponents among the Giants, Jets and Jaguars.It would be nice to certainly get a win, and I hope we recognize that as a team ... we got to play better football, Whisenhunt said.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M.
