COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- University of South Carolina engineering students have built a 20-foot Clemson Tiger just to set it on fire.
The university's annual "Tiger Burn" will be held Monday evening on the Columbia campus.
University officials say the pep rally is the highlight of the week before the school's annual game against its in-state archrival.
The tiger was designed and built by a team of undergraduate students from university's College of Engineering and Computing.
The event is free and open to the public.
