CLEMSON, S.C. - Lou Holtz?s final regular-season game for South Carolina was one he?ll probably want to forget.

Reggie Merriweather had three touchdowns and a career-high 125 yards to lead Clemson to a 29-7 victory Saturday over the Gamecocks in a game marred by a fourth-quarter brawl between the teams.

The 67-year-old Holtz told his team Thursday he?d retire after this season, reportedly clearing the way for Steve Spurrier to take over in 2005. The official announcement about Holtz is expected Monday.

?You?d have to not know that President Bush was re-elected not to know what my plans are,? Holtz said.

Several Gamecocks said the coach told them in the meeting that Spurrier is coming to Columbia. The official announcement about Holtz is expected Monday.

?That?s like going from J-Lo to Halle Berry,? South Carolina tackle Na?shan Goddard said. ?We?re getting a real good dude.?

Spurrier, attending the Duke-North Carolina game, would not comment on what?s ahead.

Holtz had pointed to this game since last November when the Gamecocks were run out of Williams-Brice Stadium, 63-17. He said it was the most embarrassed he?d ever been and vowed it would not happen again.

Instead, he lost to the Gamecocks? in-state rival for the fifth time in six seasons.

?That?s one of the biggest disappointments,? Holtz said. ?At the same time, there?s no excuse for it.?

While the final margin wasn?t as bad as a year ago, the Gamecocks (6-5) were dominated again.

Holtz, in a black South Carolina windshirt and garnet ball cap, paced the Death Valley sidelines. Nothing he thought of worked against the Tigers.

Merriweather had a 12-yard TD as Clemson (6-5) took the second-half kickoff and drove 80 yards to make it 20-7.

Emotions on both sides spun out of control late in the fourth quarter with a sidelines-clearing fight that delayed the game for about 10 minutes before coaches, police and security officers got things under control.

?I got a little scraped up, a couple of scratches,? said Clemson cornerback Justin Miller, who tussled with South Carolina receiver Matthew Thomas. ?Once I saw a couple of big guys come by me, I got out of there.?

Holtz and Clemson coach Tommy Bowden both said they would look at tapes of the fight and take possible action. Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips said the ACC would also review the fight to see if penalties had to be handed out.

?You saw it at the basketball game last night,? Clemson quarterback Charlie Whitehurst said, referring to the brawl between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. ?You hate that it happens, but it does sometime.?

Holtz dove into the pile as peacemaker, trying to peel much bigger bodies from the situation. ?Hey, he?s our daddy,? guard Jonathan Alston said. ?If he was our father, we?d all get beatings? for the fight.

Clemson became bowl eligible for the sixth straight year under Bowden.

There?s one more game for Holtz, too, before he ends his 33-season career. It could be the Peach or Independence bowls, depending on how the rest of the Southeastern Conference shakes out.

Holtz stands eighth in career victories with 249. He?s 33-37 at South Carolina. This one was bad from the start for the Gamecocks.

Cory Boyd fumbled away the opening kickoff and Clemson?s Steven Jackson recovered on the South Carolina 9. Two plays later, Merriweather rushed in from 3 yards to put the Tigers up 7-0 only 6 seconds into the game.

Merriweather added a 7 yard touchdown run two series later and South Carolina could not recover.

The Gamecocks didn?t get a first down until 10:37 was left in the second quarter. They punted nine times, five of those after going three-and-out.

About the only good thing for the Gamecocks came on Syvelle Newton?s desperation heave for a touchdown. With South Carolina facing 3-and-14 and the prospect of giving the ball up again, Newton scrambled away from two Clemson pass rushers and launched the ball nearly 60 yards in the air. Boyd turned to the right to catch the ball, held off defensive backs Tye Hill and Jamaal Fudge, and fell into the end zone to make it 14-7.

Holy shit, that was awesome.

Usually it's just one or two people throwing a punch or two and a bunch of smack talk, but they were going at it hardcore! Police, security, coaches- nobody could get it under control, lol. Poor Holtz was trying his best but he looked like he got knocked around as much as they did.
