USC won the annual Carolina-Clemson Blood Drive for the sixth consecutive year, the Red Cross announced Friday.
Nearly 7,500 people in Columbia and Clemson donated blood through the drive. At USC, 4,124 people donated blood. Clemson donors totaled 3,293. The overall record for the annual competition is now 15-14, with USC leading Clemson.
USC will be honored for its win Saturday during halftime at the football game against Clemson. The Carolina-Clemson Blood Drive trophy will be awarded to blood drive representatives.
