VIDEO: South Carolina celebrates rivalry week with 'Tiger Burn'

It's been a trying year for South Carolina, with the team struggling to a dismal 3-8 record, but that doesn't mean the Gamecocks are toning down tradition with their annual state rivalry game against No. 1 Clemson coming up this Saturday.

In a ritual that dates back to the schools' first meeting in 1902, the annual "Tiger Burn" took place Monday. Despite the program's first eight-loss season since 1999, it attracted a large audience.

With South Carolina just a week removed from a home loss to FCS opponent the The Citadel, the only thing on fire come Saturday will likely be Clemson's high-octane offense.
