Leigh missed two games after suffering an ankle injury on the opening drive Nov. 9 against Virginia Tech , and Tate was out Clemson's past three games with an undisclosed injury. Both starters being active is huge after backup offensive lineman Trent Howard tore his ACL on Tuesday.
Mickens is back after suffering an injury vs. Pitt in the fourth quarter and missing last week's game vs. The Citadel. Bringinstool sat out in Week 13 too with a hamstring injury but is back for the Palmetto Bowl. Defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart was not listed on Monday's depth chart but is in uniform pregame. He missed Clemson's past three games.
Clemson players who are out Saturday are wide receivers Troy Stellato and Tyler Brown .
No. 12 Clemson (9-2) faces No. 14 South Carolina (8-3) on Saturday (noon ET, ESPN) at Memorial Stadium.
