Clemson, SC (SportsNetwork.com) - Clemson is back on top in the Palmetto State as the 23rd-ranked Tigers ended South Carolinas winning streak in the longtime series with a 35-17 victory at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Gamecocks had won five straight meetings against their in-state rivals but were limited to 339 yards and scored 18 points below their season average. Deshaun Watson played through a knee injury and completed 14-of-19 passes for 269 yards and added two scores on the ground for the Tigers (9-3), whose senior class has totaled a school-record 41 wins over the last four years. Watson was credited with a pair of scores through the air, but Artavis Scott did most of the work on two shovel passes that went for TDs and totaled 123 yards. Scott finished with 185 yards on seven catches, while Wayne Gallman gained 191 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. Dylan Thompson passed for 249 yards and a touchdown for South Carolina (6-6), which finished its disappointing regular season at .500 after coming into the year ranked No. 9 in the AP poll. Watson, who was sidelined for four of the previous five games, pulled up lame during Clemsons first possession, which ended with Ammon Lakip coming up short on a 47-yard field goal try. The Gamecocks then went 70 yards in eight plays, and Pharoh Coopers 20-yard run out of the wildcat formation gave the visitors the lead. Watson was back on the field on the ensuing series and helped the Tigers score 21 straight points to take control. Scott took a shovel pass behind the line of scrimmage and sprinted 53 yards for a score, and a Thompson fumble led to Gallmans 5-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Watson capped a 10-play, 61-yard drive with a 1-yard sneak over the goal line, but the freshman QB again limped to the sideline just before halftime. Cole Stoudts first pass after replacing Watson was intercepted, and Elliott Fry cut South Carolinas deficit to 21-10 by booting a 47-yard field goal. Fry had an opportunity to make it a one-possession game late in the third quarter from the same distance and narrowly hooked it to the left. On the next play from scrimmage, Scott outran everyone en route to a 70-yard TD using the same play he scored on in the first quarter. The speedy wideout was nearly knocked out of bounds at the 10-yard line but acrobatically tip- toed his feet in play. The Gamecocks had 1st-and-goal from the 2-yard line on the ensuing series and turned it over on downs. Thompson and Damiere Byrd hooked up on a 12-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth, and Watson tacked on another 1-yard keeper to account for the final score.

North Dakota States reign as the three-time FCS national champion was pushed to the limit by South Dakota State on Saturday, but freshman R.HOUSTON -- Houston rookie Brett Oberholtzer was focused this week on improving after allowing 15 hits and eight runs combined in his previous two starts. His dedication to turning things around certainly paid off on Sunday. Oberholtzer pitched a four-hitter and Jason Castro hit an RBI double in the eighth inning, lifting the Astros to a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. "I worked really hard in the bullpen this week really trying to push my A-plus stuff out of me," he said. "The last couple of starts it really wasnt clicking for me, but today it was." The 24-year-old Oberholtzer struck out five and walked one. He did not allow an extra-base hit in his sixth career start and ninth appearance to lower his ERA to 2.79. He had never pitched more than seven innings entering Sundays game. He is the first Astro to throw a complete game this season. Houston manager Bo Porter couldnt have been happier with Oberholtzers work on Sunday. "Outstanding with a capital O," Porter said. "Oberholtzer was pretty good. He was on the attack from pitch No. 1 ... he decided that he was going to be aggressive and he attacked the strike zone and allowed the defence to play and made them have to swing the bat early in the count." Oberholtzer (4-1) and Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma matched zeros through seven innings. Iwakuma scattered six hits and struck out seven. It was the third time in four starts that hed pitched seven innings. Charlie Furbush (2-5) took over for Iwakuma in the eighth and Jose Altuve greeted him with a double that rolled into the corner of right field. Castro followed with a ground-rule double that bounced into the bullpen in right-centre to give Houston the lead. Castro advanced to third on a fly out before scoring on a bunt single by pinch-hitter Brandon Barnes. Barnes tried to bunt on the pitch before but it popped foul. Furbush said he couldnt remember a time when a team tried a squeeze twice in a row. "You kind of know its coming," he said. "I just didnt think it was going to happen two times in a row." Kyle Seager singled with one out in the ninth. Right fielder L.J. Hoes sprinted to make a sliding catch in foul territory on a ball hit by Kendrys Morales for out No. 2 before Franklin Gutierrez also hit a fly ball caught by Hoes to end it. Oberholtzer appreciated the work of his defence. "I went around and tried to thank a couple of them," he said.dddddddddddd"I thanked Hoes many times. It was a tremendous effort all-around." Hoes was happy he was able to redeem himself after a tough day on offence. "I just wanted to do something to help the team win," he said. "I had a couple of opportunities early to drive in runs and I didnt do that, but I could still make a good play on defence." Trevor Crowe, who was recalled from Triple-A after Saturday nights game, added two hits as the Astros avoid a four-game sweep. Oberholtzer was perfect in the seventh and eighth innings -- with a little help from his defence. Altuve scooped up a hard-hit grounder headed for the outfield and made a leaping throw to beat Dustin Ackley to first base for the first out of the eighth inning. Oberholtzer retired the first six batters he faced before walking Justin Smoak to start the third. A two-out single by Brad Miller sent Smoak to third, but Oberholtzer struck out Nick Franklin to end the threat. The Mariners managed one-out singles in both the fourth and the sixth innings, but left both players stranded when they couldnt string together any hits. Oberholtzer pitched a 1-2-3 fifth inning in between those frames. Houston threatened in the second inning. Matt Dominguez led off the bottom of the inning with a single, but was out at second on a force play on a ball hit by Brett Wallace. A single with two outs by Crowe left Wallace at third. But the Astros came away empty-handed when Hoes grounded out. Chris Carter walked with two outs in the fourth and reached third on a double by Crowe. Another groundout by Hoes ended that threat, too. Iwakuma yielded a single to Wallace with one out in the sixth inning before retiring the last five batters he faced, with two strikeouts, before being replaced by Furbush for the eighth.
