</tbody></table>Henrie Monteith, of Columbia, was one of the first African American students enrolled at University of South Carolina, along with Robert G. Anderson of Greenville and James L. Solomon of Sumpter. She was also the first female African American student enrolled at Univ. of South Carolina.<br />
<br />
In July of 1963, U.S. District Judge J. Robert Martin ruled that USC must allow Monteith to enroll. By the time the ruling was made official, USC leaders and students had already determined to proceed with dignity and no violence.<br />
<br />
“<i>We want no hotheads stirring up trouble at our state university. With intelligence, faith and regard for our fellow students, the integration problem can be settled in the spirit of which our Carolina community was founded.</i>” -Joan Wolcott, editor of the Gamecock student newspaper.<br />
<br />
On Sept. 11, 1963 Monteith, along with Anderson and Solomon, was registered for courses within minutes of her early arrival on USC's campus without incident. <br />

<br />
The hatred between Clemson fans and South Carolina has grown exponentially over the last year with success and expectations higher than ever, and it all comes down to Saturday night. Can Clemson clinch a BCS bowl berth? Can South Carolina continue the nation’s longest home winning streak?<br />
<br />
This week we will do our prediction a little differently with Gamecock Girl bloggess Lauren Rippy stating her case for South Carolina and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.clemsongirl.com"><b>Clemson Girl bloggess Nikki Steele</b></a> predicting for the Tigers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT: NO. 6 CLEMSON AT NO. 10 SOUTH CAROLINA<br />
WHEN: 7 P.M. ON ESPN2<br />
WHERE: WILLIAMS-BRICE STADIUM, COLUMBIA, S.C.</b><br />
<br />
<b>LAUREN- QUARLES’ BREAKOUT SEASON MAY BE HIS LAST FOR THE GAMECOCKS:</b> For anyone that has watched any sports programming that discusses college football I feel fairly confident in saying that you have heard some negative press about Jadeveon Clowney. Unfortunately for Jadeveon, it was impossible from the outset to live up to the expectations set for him after “The Hit” in last year’s bowl game. While Clowney has played through injury all year, he has not disappointed, but his presence has forced offenses to run into another issue on the defensive line, better known as Kelcy Quarles. Quarles has demolished opposing offenses, under the radar, all season and is forcing offensive coordinators to pick their poison, Clowney or Quarles. The response has been to move to the short passing game to try and eliminate their effectiveness but as you can see on any stat sheet, it hasn’t made much difference. Quarles leads the team in tackles for loss with 11 for a total of 86 yards. His next closest competitor, Clowney with 8.5. Kelcy also leads the team in sacks with 7, which is 5 more than the next highest total for the Gamecocks. While it seems pretty clear that next season we’ll be watching both of these stars on Sundays, here’s to hoping one of them decides to finish out their eligibility!<br />
<br />
While the secondary for the Gamecocks has been the weak link at many points throughout the season it has found some consistency late in the year. This will be the paramount task on Saturday night against the ever present deep threat that Boyd and the Tigers offense present week in and week out. If Victor Hampton can keep his secondary unit disciplined throughout the game and eliminate the explosive, momentum changing plays they will put the Gamecocks in prime position for the fifth straight win.<br />
<br />
<b>NIKKI- ISAIAH BATTLE IS THE DIFFERENCE:</b> It’s no secret that the Clemson offensive line has struggled mightily at times this season, but sophomore right tackle Isaiah Battle just might be the missing link that brings Clemson’s offensive line together. Senior left tackle Brandon Thomas has been the most consistent player on offense this season and has really led what is a young group of linemen through the ups and downs of the season. However, it wasn’t until two weeks ago when Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris started Battle at right tackle that the offense really began to click. Everyone knows the challenge that Thomas faces with Clowney, but the Gamecock’s other defensive end Chaz Sutton is a challenge in his own right, and having Battle manning the right side of the line will give quarterback Tajh Boyd some peace of mind knowing that he will have time to find his receivers. The Clemson running game also struggled at times this season, but has been better over the last two weeks since Roderick McDowell and company have had the big, physical and athletic Battle to run behind.<br />
<br />
<b>LAUREN- CONNOR SHAW’S LAST CHANCE:</b> In Connor Shaw’s time at Carolina he has gone 25-5 as a starter. 25-5. That is better than any other quarterback in the history of the Gamecock football program. While he may not have the other statistics that typically signify one of the greatest quarterbacks in a program’s history he does have the intangibles that cannot be measured on paper. His sheer will to win is the reason that the Gamecocks sit at 9-2 on the season. His heroics during the Missouri game will not be something that any Gamecock soon forgets. He’s become Mr. Consistent and while that may not be glamorous it is exactly what Carolina has needed after the up and down career of Stephen Garcia.<br />
<br />
Standing by his side, Connor will have one of the best running backs in the nation who is at 100% after resting during the blowout last week against Coastal Carolina. Mike Davis has definitely allowed Gamecock fans to move on after the injury-plagued career of our beloved Marcus Lattimore ended way too soon. Davis’ ability to run through and explode off of tackles has made him the most exciting part of the Gamecocks offense. Yes, a running back is the most exciting part of a Steve Spurrier led offense. This is not to say the passing game disappoints but Davis is just plain and simple that good. Thankfully he’ll be back in Garnet and Black for at least one more year to wow anyone that watches.<br />
<br />
<b>NIKKI – MARTAVIS BRYANT…THE X-FACTOR:</b> Sammy Watkins is without a doubt the best wide receiver on Clemson’s team, in the ACC, and in the country. Teams have schemed to take the talented junior out of games all season, but so far they have all been unsuccessful. South Carolina will probably put its best corner, Victor Hampton on Watkins, leaving senior Jimmy Legree or one the Gamecocks safeties to cover the speedy Martavis Bryant. The junior from Anderson has had tumultuous career, but is playing with more confidence now than at any point in his three-year tenure. Two weeks ago against Georgia Tech, Bryant caught five passes for 176 yards and a touchdown. Bryant has made his name out-running opponents and making catches in traffic that most wide receivers only dream of catching. With the South Carolina defense trying to double-team Watkins, it will be up to Bryant to make a play and keep the Gamecocks honest.<br />
<br />
<b>LAUREN- TWO SPECIAL FRESHMEN:</b> Much to the surprise of many in Gamecock nation the special team’s duties have primarily been handled by two outstanding freshman this season, placekicker Elliott Fry and returnman Pharoh Cooper. While neither of them excites the crowd as some of their predecessors, that are now playing on Sundays, they both still possess that it factor that gave Coach Spurrier the confidence to allow freshmen to occupy these crucial roles. On Saturday they must maintain their poise under the big lights of the national stage with huge implications on the line. One mistake from the special teams could cost the Gamecocks the game and their hopes for a major bowl bid.<br />
<br />
<b>NIKKI – CATMAN…ENOUGH SAID:</b> There are very few givens in college football, but Clemson kicker Chandler Catanzaro is about as close as it gets. The senior from Greenville is 12-of-13 this season with a career-long of 51. Catanzaro’s career began with a miss in overtime against Auburn in 2010, but since then he has gone on to have a stellar career with game-winning kicks to clinch an ACC Atlantic title in 2011 and a win over LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2012. When the game is on the line, there is nobody better than Chandler Catanzaro and nobody Clemson fans would rather see line up to knock the game winner through the uprights. <br />
<br />
<b>LAUREN- WHY THE GAMECOCKS WILL WIN:</b> The Gamecocks will play their most complete game of the year Saturday night. The group of seniors, and juniors leaving for the draft, in their final home game at Williams-Brice will not disappoint the roaring crowd as they put Clemson away to clinch a 10 win regular season for the third year in a row. This group of seniors, who have never lost to Clemson, are not going to let the streak end at four over our in-state rivals as they move the streak to five for the first time ever.<br />
<br />
<b>GAMECOCKGIRL.COM SPORTS BLOGGESS LAUREN'S SCORE PREDICTION: <br />
SOUTH CAROLINA 27 - CLEMSON 21</b><br />
<br />
<b>NIKKI – WHY THE TIGERS WILL WIN:</b> South Carolina has had Clemson’s number over the last four years and it hasn’t even been close. The Gamecocks always seem to catch the Tigers at the right time – right before an ACC Championship Game or right after an ACC battle with N.C. State or Georgia Tech. However, this year the Tigers had one final tune-up against The Citadel and it seems as though Clemson is finally playing its best football at the end of November. Boyd is as confident as he has ever been in the Clemson offense and has a stable of wide receivers that will test a young Gamecock secondary like that haven’t been tested this season. Clemson’s defense led by defensive end Vic Beasley, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and linebacker Spencer Shuey are playing better than they have at any point over the last five years. Boyd and Shuey are leading a group of seniors that are thirsty for a win over their rival and its finally time to tip the scale back in the favor of the orange and white. <br />

It's easy to trash talk your friends and even hide the more obnoxious Clemson fans on Facebook...<br />

...but what do you do if you live under the same roof with a Clemson fan? Do you live in a house divided? If so, then you might have one of these wreaths on your door this week... <br />

<b>Gamecocks Look to Chomp the Gators</b><br />
After the second, and much needed, bye week of the season, a much more healthy Gamecock football team looks to wrap up their SEC schedule with a big win against the Gators. If the Gamecocks can beat Florida and UGA loses to Auburn this weekend, we will still be in the hunt for the SEC East Crown as long as Missouri loses to either Ole Miss or Texas A&M down the stretch. Who would have thought we could dream of being in this position after losing to Tennessee a month ago? But in order for this unlikely circumstance to play out, the Gamecocks must get past a struggling Gator team that always plays well in Columbia and against Spurrier.<br />
<br />
<b>Florida</b><br />
Currently sitting at 4-5 on the season, the Gators are in unfamiliar territory as they are set up to have their first losing season since 1979 when they went 0-10. Their remaining opponents are the Gamecocks, Georgia Southern, and Florida State, all three of which have winning records. Their historically explosive offense has had trouble putting points on the board all season. Coach Will Muschamp has the support of the University President and AD, but the Florida faithful will not cut the head coach much slack if the losing ways continue.<br />
<br />
Last week’s embarrassing loss to Vanderbilt showcased the poor play of both the offense and defense which looks in disrepair at this point in the season. It seems that both the team and coaching staff have all but given up on the current season and are focusing on improvement in years to come. Maybe this is the residual effect of one beloved Florida quarterback being cut from the NFL completely and another Florida favorite being arrested on murder charges. Either way, this year has not been a good year to be a Florida Gator.<br />
<br />
<b>South Carolina</b><br />
After a much needed week off to get some guys healthy, the Gamecocks seem to be back to full speed with everyone ready to play this weekend against the Gators. Mike Davis looks to continue to pace the SEC in rushing yards and further his stronghold as one of the SEC’s best running backs. The offensive line will have to create holes for Davis and protect Connor Shaw from a tough interior defensive line from Florida.<br />
<br />
The defense will look to capitalize on a struggling Florida offense that cannot put a full game together yet to date this season. Victor Hampton looks to improve his stock this season along with Jadeveon Clowney and the rest of the defensive players that are approaching the potential leap to the NFL after this season. <br />
<br />
The biggest threat that will be posed will be against the Carolina special teams unit that has struggled all season. The kick-off and punt return defenses have looked abysmal in most of the games giving up good field position when many times they should have pinned teams deep in their own territory.<br />
<br />
The it factor when playing Florida is always the Spurrier factor. Despite his love for his alma mater, the Head Ball Coach is not going to let them have a competitive game if at all possible. He will be happy to hand them their 6th loss of the season if it puts the Gamecocks one step closer to Atlanta and the SEC Championship.<br />
<br />
<b>Prediction</b><br />
The Gamecocks will take care of business so they can set themselves up to be the first in line if Missouri falls later in the season. Now it will be the sit and wait game.<br />
<br />
<b>Final Score: South Carolina 35, Florida 14<br />

Everything was playing out perfectly for the Gamecocks last weekend, Georgia and Florida were losing and the Gamecocks were winning. But then the offense sputtered, Connor Shaw got hurt, the coaching staff wasted not one but two timeouts, and Tennessee kicked a game winning field goal in the final seconds to upset the Gamecocks. Now the Gamecocks have to travel to the other Columbia to face the undefeated Missouri Tigers who are rolling despite losing their starting quarterback two weeks ago.<br />
<br />
<b>Missouri</b><br />
Missouri has charged its way through the SEC in its second year as a member of the conference at a torrid pace. Quarterback James Franklin was primed to lead his team to the promised land but got injured late in the Georgia game. After his injury it seemed that the Tigers would quietly sink away with a "what could have been" season just out of their grasp, but then Maty Mauk took the reins and ran. He picked up right where Franklin had left off and the offense looked like a well oiled machine, not missing a beat.<br />
<br />
The Tigers' explosive offense looks to take advantage of a miserable Gamecock secondary with both the passing game and Henry Josey at running back, who went for over 100 yards against Florida last week. The Tigers defense forced Florida to punt eight times last week and only allowed 17 points. This week they will tee off against an abnormal back-up quarterback and an offense that could only move the ball on the ground last week. The strong front seven for Missouri will make it tough for the Gamecocks to run the ball, forcing them to try and find an effective, balanced attack in the air and on land.<br />
<br />
<b>South Carolina</b><br />
To put it mildly the offense looked and played the worst I have seen it in quite some time. Despite several great throws, most of the receivers couldn’t make routine catches and forced the Gamecocks into an early hole. Thankfully, Mike Davis and Demarie Byrd got Carolina back in the game. But this week the Gamecocks face a team that will not give them the opportunity to recover from an early hole. <br />
<br />
With Shaw ailing, Dylan Thompson will get his first start of the season and looks to ignite an offense left for dead last week in Knoxville, with the help of the always reliable Mike Davis. That being said, hopefully the Gamecock receivers will make the catches they should make to keep the pressure off the running game.<br />
<br />
The defense looked much improved at Tennessee but with the offense struggling they were worn out by the fourth quarter and could not make a stop on Tennessee’s final drive, the drive that led to the game winning field goal as time expired. The defense will look to get a strong push up front to put pressure on Missouri’s inexperienced quarterback and try to force mistakes. The secondary for the Gamecocks must improve quickly if there is any hope of recovering what’s left of this season.<br />
<br />
<b>Prediction</b><br />
The Tigers look like they are headed to Atlanta the first week of December unless someone can derail them and the Gamecocks do not appear to be that team. Missouri will take care of business this weekend and continue on their journey to the Georgia Dome.<br />
<br />
<b>Final Score: South Carolina 21, Missouri 35</b><br />

<b>The Offense is Alive</b><br />
Week two of the Gamecocks' 3-week road trip is on deck this week, and after last week’s offensive explosion, it may not be a bad thing. The offense looked as solid as it has been in recent memory, and the defense finally played strong, only allowing one touchdown, which occurred on the opening drive of the game. While it must be taken into perspective, as this all came against a struggling Arkansas team, the Gamecocks may have gotten the confidence boost to carry them through the rest of the season. And it definitely didn’t hurt that Georgia lost to Missouri to keep the Gamecocks hope alive in the SEC East.<br />
<br />
<b>Tennessee</b><br />
The Volunteers are coming off a bye week as they are set to face the Gamecocks in an SEC East matchup, that two weeks ago looked like it could be setting Tennessee up for a breakout season. After scoring late in the fourth quarter to take the lead, the Vols could not finish against Georgia and eventually lost in overtime. It was a heartbreaking loss for both Tennessee and South Carolina as it would have kicked open the door for the Gamecocks path to the SEC title game. But instead the Vols look to get their first SEC win of the season and derail any hope that is left for the Gamecocks. <br />
<br />
The always present advantage of playing in Neyland Stadium will surely help Tennessee disorient the Gamecocks offense, which often tries to make changes at the line of scrimmage. New head coach Butch Jones is looking to rebuild a team that was once led by greats Phil Fulmer and Peyton Manning, but was subsequently derailed by Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley.<br />
<br />
Linebacker AJ Johnson will look to have another big game and slow down the Carolina offense as he did against Georgia two weeks back. Johnson has produced double digit tackles in half of his career games for the Volunteers according to their stat records, which includes 47 tackles so far this season. On the offensive side of the ball Rajion Neal will look to record his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season against the Gamecocks porous defense.<br />
<br />
<b>USC</b><br />
The entire Gamecocks offense put on a show last weekend! It was great to see both Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson playing at the top of their game, to the point that we even got to see Brendan Nosovitch score his first touchdown as a Gamecock on a 7-yard run at the end of the fourth quarter. Another bright spot in last week’s blowout was the emergence of Shamier Jeffery, you may remember his brother, Alshon! Shamier tallied his first reception at Carolina and ended with 5 receptions on the day. <br />
<br />
If Carolina can continue to spread the ball around as they did last week and the run game can continue to be a powerful force, the Gamecocks should continue to put a lot of points on the board, even against the increasingly better defenses they are set to face in the coming weeks. Mike Davis gets better each week. While other defenses are preparing for the Mike Davis they see on film, they are forced to play the Mike Davis who is one step better each week. His ability to run through defenders and get the extra yards after contact are giving Spurrier the option for a more balanced attack. <br />
<br />
The other side of that balanced attack is Connor Shaw, who has disproven all of the doubters this season, including myself. While he still has moments that make Gamecock fans want to scream, the fumble in the Georgia game, all in all he is playing the way everyone thought he could, which includes very few turnovers this season. But Connor and Mike both owe all the credit to the remarkable offensive line, who has been the greatest surprise all season. They are the most reliable unit on the team so far this season and have allowed the Head Ball Coach to run his ideal offense.<br />
<br />
<b>Prediction</b><br />
The Gamecocks should take care of business against the Volunteers who have already lost to Oregon, Florida, and Georgia this season and currently sit at 3-3 after winning 3 non-conference games. Despite giving Georgia a big scare two weeks ago, the Vols could not finish the game. <br />
<br />
<b>Final Score: South Carolina 35, Tennessee 20</b><br />

After being home for one week, the Gamecocks are back on the road this week to start a 3 week stretch of away games. This week starts with the always competitive Arkansas Razorbacks. The Razorbacks come into this week’s matchup with a 3-3 record, but even on their down years, they always give the Gamecocks a challenge. After the way the Gamecocks have played in the 4th quarter this year, there is definitely a reason to be concerned about a potential upset. But the Gamecocks look to have a shakey secondary and make a strong push into the second half of the season.<br />
<br />
<b>Arkansas</b><br />
After starting out the season 3-0 the Razorbacks have gone 0-3 in the last three weeks losing to Rutgers, Texas A&M, and Florida. The loss to Florida last week was their weakest offensive contest yet to date as they only scored 10 points against the Gators. There will be a more vested interest in this game as it is Homecoming week in Fayetteville, and their fan base is fired up about the potential to upset the Gamecocks.<br />
<br />
Running back Alex Collins enters this week’s matchup leading the SEC in total rushing yards at 651 and is ranked 4th in average yards per game at 108.5. If he can get going he will give the Gamecocks defense a tough time as they have shown great weakness against the run so far this year. On the other side of the ball Chris Smith is creating chaos for opposing offenses by leading the SEC in sack yards, total sacks, and tackles for loss. The Gamecocks offensive line will have a huge battle on their hands to try and keep Smith away for Connor Shaw and his questionable shoulder.<br />
<br />
<b>USC</b><br />
Carolina’s offense has worked very efficiently so far this season. They have cut down on costly turnovers that have plagued them in years past and found a great running back in Mike Davis. The philosophy of when in doubt give the ball to Mike has proved to be the best offensive strategy along with Connor and Dylan both being efficient when passing the ball.<br />
<br />
Unlike in years past, we can no longer rely on the defense to make the big plays so the offense has to protect the ball and put points on the board, especially after seeing the 4th quarter collapses by the defense this year. All year the defense has struggled and it is still yet to be determined what the cause is. Per many sources it seems that players are content to “rest on their laurels” from previous years' successes. That coupled with the constant distraction of Jadeveon Clowney and the coaches publicly bickering and in one instance, fighting on the sideline, it appears that Lorenzo Ward needs to rebuild his once terrifying defense.<br />
<br />
<b>Prediction</b><br />
This game is going to be close and will probably come down to a big special teams play. The Gamecocks will need to rely on Davis to find the holes and score early, hopefully building a big enough lead that the defenses 4th quarter collapse won’t cost them the game.<br />
<br />
<b>Final Score: South Carolina 30, Arkansas 27</b><br />
