September 2, 2017Bank of America Stadium

Charlotte, N.C.50,367

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Behind a resurgent defensive effort in the second half and three touchdowns from junior Deebo Samuel, South Carolina (1-0) claimed a 35-28 victory over NC State (0-1) in the Belk College Kickoff at Bank of America Stadium.

The Gamecock defense came out on fire in the second half, shutting down an NC State drive after five plays with a pair of quarterback hurries and a sack by Keir Thomas. Chris Lammons made it a short field, returning the punt 26 yards to near midfield. Three plays later, quarterback Jake Bentley, after escaping pressure, hit Deebo Samuel for a 39-yard score.

Defense set up the next Gamecock touchdown, as the Wolfpack fumbled the football on Dante Sawyer’s sack. Bryson Allen-Williams recovered it at the NC State 13. Two plays later, Rico Dowdle sprinted seven yards to hand the Gamecocks a 35-21 lead.

NC State took back momentum after the Gamecocks were stuffed deep in their own territory and the Wolfpack took over at the SC 46 after the punt. The Wolfpack methodically went 46 yards in nine plays, with Ryan Finley hitting Jaylen Samuels from one yard out to close within a score. An interception by Wolfpack Johnathan Alston gave the ball back to NC State. But the Gamecock defense stood strong, keeping NC State from gaining a second first down. South Carolina punted the ball back to NC State, but the Wolfpack turned over the ball on downs after D.J. Smith tackled Samuels just short of the first-down marker with 4:34 remaining.

The Wolfpack got the ball back with three minutes to go and drove inside the Gamecock 10, but the Gamecocks batted passes away from NC State receivers, the final one by D.J. Smith, to close out the victory.

The teams battled to a draw in the second half, scoring three touchdowns each in the contest. Samuel got the Gamecocks off to a blazing start, return-ing the opening kickoff 97 yards for a score, his second career kickoff return for a touchdown. The Wolfpack answered with a 14-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by Finley’s six-yard keeper.

South Carolina retook the lead on its next possession, as Bentley hit Dow-dle out of the backfield for a 34-yard TD strike. Finley and the Wolfpack knotted the contest again, as Finley went 4-for-5 for 56 yards in a nine-play drive. Nyheim Hines capped the drive with a two-yard scoring run.

After SC went three-and-out, Sawyer forced a fumble, and Rashad Fenton recovered it to set up the next Garnet and Black points. Bentley kept the nascent drive going with a 13-yard scamper before hitting Bryan Edwards for a 26-yard strike to put the Gamecocks to first-and-goal. Bentley capped the drive with a six-yard pass caught by Samuel to put South Carolina ahead again, 21-14.

The Wolfpack missed a 29-yard field goal, giving the ball back to the Gamecocks with four minutes to go, but the NC State defense scuttled it around midfield, getting the ball back with 1:47 to play in the half. The Wolfpack marched to a tying score, with Finley hitting Jakobi Meyers with a four-yard scoring pass, tying the game at 21 at the half.

GAME CHANGERNC State was favored in the contest and was a darkhorse pick to be a

contender for the FBS Playoff, but Deebo Samuel’s touchdown return on the opening kick set an early tone for the game.

COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — At some point, opponents are going to stop kicking to South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel. Until then, the Gamecocks will gladly take all the game-changing returns they can get from the all-pur-pose star.

For the second straight week, Samuel returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touch-down, helping South Carolina erase an early deficit and beat Missouri 31-13 on Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Missouri (1-1, 0-1) took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter when Drew Lock connected with tight end Jason Reese on a 61-yard touchdown pass. Missouri coach Barry Odom thought Tucker McCann, who usually is ca-pable of knocking kickoffs well into the end zone, would deliver his third touchback of the night. Instead, the ball landed in Samuel’s hands on the 3-yard line. He needed to break only one tackle and dodge McCann on his way to a touchdown.

He wasn’t done. South Carolina’s Jamyest Williams intercepted a pass on Missouri’s next play from scrimmage, giving the Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0) the ball on Missouri’s 25-yard line. On first down, Samuel, a junior wide receiver, took a handoff on a jet sweep and sprinted into the end zone for his second score in 15 seconds.

Last week, Samuel returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in a 35-28 victory over North Carolina State and also grabbed a 39-yard touchdown reception.

Against the Tigers, his scoring outburst changed the direction of the game for good. South Carolina expanded its 14-10 halftime lead with a dominant second half.

Bentley completed 18 of 28 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown. Samuel had five catches for 45 yards. Tight end Hayden Hurst also had a pro-ductive night, catching a 39-yard touchdown pass and rushing for a 2-yard touchdown. Ty’Son Williams led the way on the ground, rushing 14 times for 78 yards.

The Gamecocks held Missouri’s offense in check one week after the Tigers broke multiple school records in a 72-43 victory over FCS opponent Mis-souri State.

Lock completed 14 of 32 passes for 245 yards, with two interceptions. The Tigers rushed 37 times for 178 yards, but their drives stalled in the red zone. They settled for two McCann field goals, and a third attempt was blocked by Javon Kinlaw.

GAME CHANGERMissouri took a 10-0 lead with 13:07 remaining in the second quarter, but

Deebo Samuel quickly changed that, returning a 97-yard kickoff for a touch-down for the second straight game. Samuel then took advantage of Jamyest Williams’first career interception, scoring on a 25-yard run on the drive’s first play, giving the Gamecocks the lead for good.

KEY STAT3 -- For the second straight game, the Gamecocks won the turnover battle,

turning a trio of Tiger miscues into 14 points. Jamyest Williams’ interception turned into a Deebo Samuel rushing touchdown. Then a fumble on a punt in the fourth quarter led to Hayden Hurst’s second touchdown of the contest.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Benny Snell Jr. rushed for two touchdowns and Kentucky’s defense held off South Car-olina to win its fourth straight over the Gamecocks, 23-13, on Saturday night.

Snell, who’s status was in doubt ear-lier in the week due to bruised ribs, rushed for scores of 5 and 1 yard in leading the Wildcats (1-0 Southeast-ern Conference) to their first 3-0 start since 2010. Two years ago, Kentucky snapped a 22-game SEC road losing streak at South Carolina.

This time, the Wildcats left no doubt about who was the better team in this one.

It did not start that way, though.South Carolina (2-1, 1-1) electrified a sold-out stadium with a 68-yard

TD catch by receiver Deebo Samuel on the opening play, then got an in-terception and a fumble from the Wildcats’ first two drives. But Kentucky’s defense did not allow the Gamecocks any more points after that.

Snell and offense took over with two long, first-half scoring drives for a 14-6 lead. Snell ended a 13-play series with his 5-yard touchdown. He capped an 11-play sequence with his second touchdown.

Kentucky made the critical plays when it needed. Facing fourth-and-goal from the Wildcats 1 in the fourth quarter, Gamecock tailback Rico Dowdle was stopped cold by linebacker Jamar Watson and cornerback Derrick Baity.

Then when the Gamecocks closed it to 20-13 on OrTre Smith’s 9-yard touchdown grab with 6:26 left, Kentucky quarterback Stephen Johnson scrambled on third down for a 54-yard run that led to Austin MacGinnis’ third field goal with two minutes left that sealed the win.

Snell finished with 102 yards on 32 carries.Samuel had five catches for 122 yards and his sixth touchdown of the sea-

son. But he left the game in the fourth quarter with an injury.

GAME CHANGERSouth Carolina forced a pair of first-half turnovers, an interception from

Skai Moore and a fumble recovery from Jamyest Williams. The Gamecocks did not turn those Kentucky miscues into points as a Jake Bentley intercep-tion and a punt ended those USC drives.

KEY STAT 68 -- Jake Bentley hit Deebo Samuel for a 68-yard touchdown on the first offensive play of the game. Samuel ended the game with five receptions for 122 yards but he suffered an injury that will have him out for extended period of time.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Nothing had gone right in Parker White’s col-lege career. He missed two field goals last week in a South Carolina loss and two more as the Gamecocks looked on their way to an embarrassing loss to Louisiana Tech.

Oh-for-four, booed on his home field and torn apart all last week on Twitter, the freshman kicker finally hit a kick true, the 31-yarder sailing through the uprights with seven sec-onds left as the Gamecocks (3-1) beat the Bulldogs 17-16 on Saturday.

White danced around the field wav-ing his arms at the student section after the first game-winning field goal in his life. And after the Bulldogs (2-2) failed to return the kickoff, he ran and jumped into the student section.

The winning was an immediate balm for South Carolina. But there were still problems. Sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley had several overthrows and an ugly interception that required a tackle from him to prevent a touch-down the other way. There was a defense that put little pressure on Louisiana Tech and allowed 6-of-13 conversions on third down - with the meat of the Southeastern Conference schedule starting next week at Texas A&M.

The Gamecocks (3-1) trailed 13-0 before a wild fourth quarter that saw South Carolina take a 14-13 lead and Louisiana Tech (2-2) answer with a 10-play, 84-yard drive that ended with what appeared to be the game winning 25-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes with 55 seconds left.

Bentley was 22-of-34 for 295 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Ty’Son Williams ran 13 times for 95 yards after getting no carries for South Carolina in last week’s loss to Kentucky.

For Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz, it was another shot at a big win that slipped away. The Bulldogs led Arkansas midway through the fourth quarter last year before losing 21-20 and lost to Kansas State 39-33 in triple overtime in 2015.

GAME CHANGERWith Louisiana Tech driving for points towards the end of the third quar-

ter, JaMarcus King intercepted J’Mar Smith on South Carolina’s three-yard line. That set up a 16-play, 97-yard drive that was capped by OrTre Smith’s 28-yard touchdown pass from Bentley, cutting Louisiana Tech’s lead to 13-7.

KEY STAT41 -- On South Carolina’s final drive, Jake Bentley hit Bryan Edwards with

a 41-yard pass down to the Louisiana Tech 14-yard line. That pass comple-tion set up Parker White’s game-winning 31-yard field goal with four seconds remaining, giving the Gamecocks the one-point win.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Keith Ford ran for 70 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 17-yard score in the fourth quarter, to lift Texas A&M to a 24-17 win over South Carolina on Saturday night.

Freshman Kellen Mond threw for 159 yards and ran for 95 to help the Aggies (4-1, 2-0 Southeastern Confer-ence) rally for the victory.

Texas A&M trailed by a touchdown entering the fourth quarter before Ford tied it up with a 7-yard run.

Otaro Alaka sacked Jake Bentley on third down on South Carolina’s next drive to force a punt.

Ford put the Aggies on top on their ensuing possession when he dragged three defenders into the end zone for that 17-yard touchdown, which made it 24-17.

Bentley was sacked twice on South Carolina’s next drive and the Aggies got the ball back and they used run after run to get the clock down to less than two minutes.

Bentley threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns for South Carolina (3-2, 1-2), but he was sacked seven times behind a line that often didn’t give him enough time to make plays.

Alaka led the way on defense for the Aggies, finishing with nine tackles, including five for losses and two sacks.

Bentley pushed South Carolina’s lead to 17-7 when he connected with OrTre Smith on a 13-yard touchdown pass with about nine minutes left in the third quarter.

The Aggies took a 7-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Trayveon Wil-liams early in the second quarter. South Carolina tied it up when Bentley wriggled out of a would-be sack and found Shi Smith wide open on a 45-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 7-all with about 13 minutes left in the second quarter.

The Gamecocks took a 10-7 lead on a 29-yard field goal by Parker White with about nine minutes left in the first half.

They had a chance to add to their lead when they were driving inside the 10-yard line late in the second quarter, but Bentley was sacked by Landis Durham, who caused a fumble which the Aggies recovered to end the drive.

GAME CHANGERIn the third quarter with South Carolina up, 17-7, the Carolina defense

held Texas A&M to a three-and-out and had the ball with 7:31 left. The Gamecocks went three-and-out on their next drive while Texas A&M an-swered with a field goal. Texas A&M scored touchdowns on its next two possessions to take the lead it would not relinquish.

KEY STAT151-7 – Texas A&M outgained South Carolina 151-7 in the fourth quar-

ter, taking a 24-17 lead on a Keith Ford 17-yard touchdown run. South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley also was sacked four times in the game’s final quarter.

October 7, 2017Williams-Brice Stadium


COLUMBIA, S.C. — An unprec-edented night by South Carolina’s de-fense may have rescued the Gamecocks season and sent Arkansas back down a familiar, discouraging path.

The Gamecocks (4-2, 2-2 South-eastern) scored three touchdowns on defense - returning two interceptions and a fumble - in a 48-22 win over Ar-kansas (2-3, 0-2) on Saturday.

After a 75-yard touchdown drive by the Razorbacks tied it at 10 early in the second quarter, Arkansas gained just 48 yards in their next 18 plays. Those plays included an Austin Allen inter-ception Skai Moore returned 34 yards for a TD and an Allen fumble that T.J. Brunson returned 74 yards for a score.

By the time the Razorbacks started moving the ball again, the Gamecocks led 41-10 in the fourth quarter.

‘’Everything disintegrated right in front of us,’’ said Arkansas coach Brett Bielema, who will need three wins over five SEC teams he is a combined 8-15 against with the Razorbacks

South Carolina has no record of ever scoring three defensive touchdowns in the 125 years it has played football. Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp, known for his defensive mind, couldn’t remember three touchdowns from his favorite unit in his career. And Brunson - he had never been in the end zone in all his football life, either.

‘’That was fun. I hope to get to do it again,’’ Brunson said.And all that defense helped build the confidence of an offense that had

seen several shaky games but come through with two more wins than the halfway point in 2016. Jake Bentley went 16 of 31 for 199 yards and three touchdowns, including a critical 18-yard pass to Bryan Edwards in the corner of the end zone with four seconds in the first half.

Bentley spread the ball around to nine receivers as South Carolina beat a team from the SEC West for the first time since 2013.

The Gamecocks gained 358 yards, scoring on five of eight possessions in the final three quarters. Bentley was sacked just once, a week after the offense line allowed seven sacks in a loss to Texas A&M.

‘’It takes the pressure off of us,’’ Bentley said of the defense. ‘’Their confi-dence is through the roof.’’

GAME CHANGERWith the game tied at 10 in the final minute of the first half, Jake Bentley

hit Bryan Edwards with an 18-yard touchdown pass, giving the Gamecocks a 17-10 lead with four seconds remaining. South Carolina took a lead it would never relinquish heading into the halftime locker room.

KEY STAT3 -- The South Carolina defense recorded three touchdowns for the first

time in modern history. Skai Moore and Keisean Nixon each returned an interception for a score while T.J. Brunson had a 73-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. — Parker White made all three of his field-goal attempts, including a a tiebreaking 21-yarder with 5:17 remaining, and South Carolina produced a goal-line stand Saturday in the closing seconds of a 15-9 victory over Tennessee.

After being completely shut down the entire second half, Tennessee’s of-fense reached South Carolina’s 2-yard line with nine seconds left before Jar-rett Guarantano threw three straight incompletions to close the game. The game ended on a pass intended for Brandon Johnson in the right corner of the end zone.

Tennessee (3-3, 0-3 SEC) hasn’t scored a touchdown in its last 10 quarters and settled for field goals after having first-and-goal on two separate drives in the first half.

White, who had been 4 of 11 on field-goal attempts before Saturday, made his tiebreaking 21-yarder in the fourth quarter plus a 36-yarder with 1:13 left. White also had a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter.

The comeback continued Muschamp’s mastery of Tennessee.Muschamp, who coached Florida from 2011-14, now owns a career record

of 6-0 against Tennessee and a 4-0 mark against Jones.The Volunteers gave Guarantano his first career start but still couldn’t

awaken their dormant offense. Guarantano went 11 of 18 for 133 yards and was sacked seven times. He had 17 carries for minus-2 net yards.

South Carolina (5-2, 3-2) scored on each of its last three drives.The Gamecocks appeared ready to take the lead when A.J. Turner’s 20-yard

touchdown run around the right end tied the game at 9-all with 1:02 left in the third quarter. But on the ensuing extra-point attempt, holder Danny Gordon mishandled a low snap. Gordon threw an incomplete pass that pre-vented South Carolina from grabbing a 10-9 lead.

South Carolina pulled ahead for good on its next possession with a 16-play, 72-yard drive that lasted over nine minutes.

Tennessee grabbed a 9-3 halftime lead after Brent Cimaglia made field goals from 29, 33 and 24 yards out.

GAME CHANGERTennessee’s offense attacked the red zone four times in the game, but came

away with only three first-half field goals. The South Carolina defense held the Volunteers to just 253 total yards, a season best for the Gamecocks de-fense. The game ended with Tennessee at the South Carolina 2-yard line but a pair of incomplete passes gave the Gamecocks their fifth win of the season.

KEY STAT86 — A.J. Turner entered the game with 60 yards rushing but more than

doubled that in the win over the Volunteers. Turner ran 14 times for 86 yards and the touchdown that tied the game at nine in the third quarter. Turner’s rushing also helped chew the clock as South Carolina had the ball for 12:22 in the fourth quarter.

South Carolina 34Vanderbilt 27

October 28, 2017Williams-Brice Stadium


COLUMBIA, S.C. — On the ex-pected legs of A.J. Turner and the sur-prising legs of quarterback Jake Bent-ley, South Carolina is finally back in an Southeastern Conference East Divi-sion race in November.

Bentley, who came into the game with 14 yards rushing all season, ran six times for 47 yards and the first two TDs on the ground in his college ca-reer to lead South Carolina (6-2, 4-2) to a 34-27 win over Vanderbilt on Sat-urday. Turner ran 15 times for a career best 121 yards.

The Gamecocks still need help for only a second division title since joining the SEC in 1992. Even if they beat No. 3 Georgia on the road next weekend, they will still be a game behind the Bulldogs but with the tiebreaker.

A new weapon emerged Saturday. When Bentley takes off, it’s a deep-breath moment for the Gamecocks. Offensive lineman Zach Bailey used a curse word to say what it scares out of him. Bentley said when he has just one defender in front of him, he tries to make what he called ‘’the slowest juke move ever seen.’’

But each of the sophomore’s runs was huge. Two went for touchdowns, one turned a second-and-15 into a third-and-2 and another went for 8 yards on a second-and-9.

Bentley also completed 19 of his 29 passes for 174 yards.Vanderbilt (3-5, 0-5) had two players ejected for targeting - defensive back

Zaire Jones and linebacker Charles Wright, the team’s sack leader, on a hit on Bentley just after he released the ball.

Bentley said he is used to taking shots. ‘’Anytime a quarterback runs it’s like a little minnow with a pool of sharks,’’ he said.

Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said he wasn’t going to argue the specifics of either targeting call, but he isn’t sure the rule is being interpreted correctly. He felt his players made hard tackles that did not target the head or a help-less player.

The Commodores finished with 10 penalties for 100 yards. The final one might have been the most costly. A holding penalty by tight end Sam Dobbs stalled a potential game-tying drive and Kyle Shurmur overthrew Caleb Scott on fourth-and-2 with just over a minute to go at the South Carolina 40.

Shurmur threw for a season-best 333 yards and four touchdowns.

GAME CHANGERThe Gamecocks were a perfect 3-for-3 in the red zone in today’s 34-27

win over Vanderbilt. That included a pair of rushing touchdowns from Jake Bentley and a one-yard score by A.J. Turner to close out the first quarter. On the season, South Carolina is 18-for-22 (81.8 percent) in the red zone this season.

KEY STAT212 -- The South Carolina offense had a season high 212 rushing yards in

today’s win over Vanderbilt. The Gamecocks were led on the ground by A.J. Turner, who had a career high 121 yards. Jake Bentley added 47 yards and the first two rushing touchdowns of his career.

ATHENS, GA. — Jake Fromm proved he can throw - and block a lit-tle, too - as his two touchdown passes led No. 2 Georgia to a 24-10 win over South Carolina on Saturday.

Fromm was accurate and efficient, completing 16 of 22 passes for 196 yards with scoring passes of 10 yards to Javon Wims and 20 yards to Mecole Hardman.

Fromm also had the final block to clear the way for Sony Michel to score on a direct-snap, 8-yard run in the first quarter.

Georgia (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 College Football Playoff) has won its first nine games for the first time since 1982. The Bulldogs needed a Mississippi win over Ken-tucky on Saturday to clinch a spot in the SEC championship game.

South Carolina (6-3, 4-3) had its three-game winning streak snapped. The Gamecocks also lost hopes for winning the SEC East.

Nick Chubb ran for 102 yards on 20 carries for Georgia. Michel added 81 yards rushing.

Georgia, accustomed to lopsided SEC wins, faced a tougher challenge from South Carolina. The Bulldogs led only 14-7 at halftime. Each team had first-half touchdown catches determined by reviews.

Jake Bentley’s 12-yard pass to Bryan Edwards early in the second half was ruled incomplete before the officials’ review determined Edwards made the catch before going out of bounds. The touchdown tied the game at 7.

On Georgia’s next drive, a review determined Wims had his left foot in bounds on his touchdown catch.

The Bulldogs opened the second half with a 75-yard touchdown drive capped by Fromm’s touchdown pass to Hardman, who made a leaping catch over Jamyest Williams.

South Carolina’s Parker White kicked a 25-yard field goal late in the third quarter. Georgia’s Rodrigo Blankenship kicked a 20-yarder in the fourth quarter.

Following Blankenship’s field goal, Georgia stopped South Carolina at its 44 when cornerback Deandre Baker deflected Bentley’s fourth-down pass. Malkom Parrish’s interception ended the Gamecocks’ final possession.

Bentley completed 21 of 35 passes for 227 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

GAME CHANGERSouth Carolina tied the game at seven on a 12-yard touchdown pass from

Jake Bentley to Bryan Edwards, but Georgia answered on its next posses-sion as a 10-play, 75-yard drive ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jake Frohm to Javon Wims. Georgia never relinquished that lead, scoring 10 points in the second half in the 24-10 win.

KEY STAT242 -- Georgia ran for 242 yards on 53 carries in the win over South Caro-

lina. Nick Chubb went for 102 yards, while Sony Michel had 81 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Gamecocks. The running attack helped the Bulldogs go 8-for-13 on third down.

November 11, 2017Williams-Brice Stadium


COLUMBIA, S.C. — In a season of one dominant team and a bunch of disappointments in the SEC East, resilient South Carolina figured out another way to win, overcoming four turnovers to beat Florida 28-20 on Saturday and reach heights the Game-cocks have rarely achieved.

South Carolina (7-3, 5-3 Southeast-ern) can’t win what would have been only been its second SEC East title. But the Gamecocks will finish with only its eighth winning SEC record in 26 seasons in the league.

Second year coach Will Muschamp has his Gamecocks embracing what he calls a ‘’So What? Now what?’’ phi-losophy, and his quarterback Jake Bentley personified it, shaking off three interceptions to throw for 249 yards and run for two touchdowns .

‘’At the end of the day, we won,’’ the sophomore said. ‘’It’s better to learn from something with a W.’’

A Florida team in disarray with a fired coach and no wins since September couldn’t take advantage of the help. The Gators (3-6, 3-5) will finish with a losing SEC record for only the third time since 1992.

Interim coach Randy Shannon said he was proud his team kept fighting after a 35-point loss against Georgia led to the firing of Jim McElwain two weeks ago, and Shannon’s debut was a 29-point loss to Missouri. But he understands it still isn’t enough as Florida will miss a bowl game for only the third time in 31 seasons.

‘’Is this up to the expectations of this program? No. We wanted to win. There are no moral victories,’’ Shannon said.

A.J. Turner ran 22 times for 136 yards and Mon Denson rushed for the first two touchdowns of his career as South Carolina had its best offensive game of the season with 469 yards.

In a common theme this season, the Gamecocks defense also came through. The Gators converted as many fourth downs (2 for 2) as third downs (2 for 15). And the defense ended Florida’s last chance when defensive back Jamyest Williams picked off a tipped pass near midfield with just over a minute to go.

‘’Two years ago, we’re a 3-9 football team. The investment you’ve made to get to this point, I’m damn proud of you,’’ Muschamp told his team in the locker room after the win.

GAME CHANGERWith South Carolina holding a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, Jake Bentley’s

pass was intercepted by CJ Henderson at the Gamecock 25-yard line. Hen-derson returned it to the South Carolina 1-yard line, but the ball was poked away by Hayden Hurst and picked up by A.J. Turner to the Gamecock 24. Although they didn’t score, the Gamecocks kept the lead and added to it on a Mon Denson 24-yard rush towards the end of the first quarter.

KEY STAT242 – South Carolina produced a season-high 469 yards on 76 offensive

plays in the win over Florida. A.J. Turner ran for a career-high 136 yards while Mon Denson added 61 yards and two touchdowns. Jake Bentley was 19-for-29 for 249 yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns.

South Carolina 31Wofford 10



COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Caro-lina linebacker Skai Moore believes the Gamecocks have one mission in the week leading up to rival Clemson - find that edge.

Moore, the fifth-year senior, had a record-tying interception that turned things in the Gamecocks favor and stuffed out another Wofford drive in the third quarter as South Carolina reached eight wins for the first time in four years with a 31-10 victory Satur-day.

Moore was a freshman in 2013, the last time the Gamecocks won that many - and last time they defeated state rival Clemson, their next opponent.

South Carolina (8-3) certainly did that against Wofford, an FCS opponent who had not beaten the Gamecocks since 1917. After falling behind 3-0 and seeing Wofford stop them short on fourth down, quarterback Jake Bentley and the Gamecocks got going.

Bentley ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third to end any threat of another stunner, like when Citadel, Wofford’s SoCon rival, beat them 23-22 two years ago.

Bentley finished off a 50-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard TD run. Bentley hit Bryan Edwards with a pretty, 23-yard scoring pass on the next series and the Gamecocks were on their way to their 17th straight victory over Wofford (9-2).

South Carolina had not won eight games in a season since 2013, the last of three consecutive 11-2 marks under former coach Steve Spurrier. To get even more, the Gamecocks will need to end Clemson’s three-game win streak in the rivalry. Expect South Carolina to be big underdogs to the defending national champions who won this game 56-7 a year ago and are poised for another playoff run this season.

Bentley, the sophomore quarterback, leads South Carolina with six rush-ing touchdowns, all coming in the past four games. Bentley threw for 194 yards on 22 of 28 passing with no interceptions.

South Carolina’s defense did its part, too. The Gamecocks held Wofford, which came in averaging 260 yards rushing, to 155 yards on the ground. Moore’s pick was the 14th of his career, matching Bo Davies mark set 46 years ago.

GAME CHANGERWofford held a 3-0 lead after the end of the first quarter and had pos-

session but on the first play of the second period, Skai Moore recorded his 14th career interception, tying a South Carolina career interception record and setting up a Jake Bentley 1-yard run, giving the Gamecocks a lead they would never relinquish.

KEY STAT1,004 — A.J. Turner ran for 69 yards on 11 carries in the win over Wof-

ford but it was his final carry of the game that made him the 43rd player in South Carolina history to reach 1,000 yards rushing for his career. Turner also had a touchdown, a 2-yard scamper, to give the Gamecocks the final 21-point scoring margain.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Kelly Bryant threw two touchdowns to Hunter Ren-frow and No. 4 Clemson kept on track for a third straight trip to the College Football Playoff with a 34-10 victory over rival South Carolina on Saturday night.

The Tigers (11-1, No. 3 College Football Playoff) won their fourth straight game in the Palmetto State’s most cared-about sporting event, tying their second-longest run of dominance in the series.

The win was the 100th in Clemson coach Dabo Swinney’s career. And combined with the CFP’s top teams - Alabama and Miami - losing this week-end, the Tigers solidified their position among the top four heading into the Atlantic Coast Conference title game next week.

The Tigers entered wary of a rejuvenated South Carolina (8-4, No. 24 CFP), which finished second in the Southeastern Conference East and had its most victories in a season in four years. But Clemson’s defense bottled up the Gamecocks and quarterback Jake Bentley for a second consecutive season.

Fittingly, cornerback Ryan Carter opened Clemson’s scoring with a 12-yard pick-six on quarterback Jake Bentley’s bad throw near his goal line.

South Carolina managed just 99 yards in the first half and 207 for the game, its lowest total this season.

Renfrow, whose 2-yard TD catch with a second left gave Clemson a 35-31 win over Alabama in the national title game in January, scored on passes of 4 and 61 yards to put things out of reach. Renfrow had his third career two-TD game, the other two coming in Clemson’s national championship appearances against Alabama the previous two years.

Bryant completed 23 of 34 passes for 272 yards, his most since throwing for 316 yards against Louisville on Sept. 16.

Bentley finished 16 of 29 for 126 yards, two interceptions and a 38-yard TD pass to Bryan Edwards late in the fourth quarter. Bentley passed for just 41 yards against the Tigers in a 56-7 loss in 2016.

GAME CHANGERClemson scored its first touchdown on a 12-yard interception return from

Ryan Carter with 6:50 left in the first quarter. That occurred after the South Carolina defense held the Tigers’ offense on their first possession. Clemson never trailed while putting up 469 yards of offense.

KEY STAT35:26 — Clemson’s ground game combined with its defense held the ball

for 35:26 on the night. Clemson converted on seven of its 16 third-down conversions and were 3-for-3 scored in the red zone.

Tampa, Fla.45,687

TAMPA, FLA. — Will Muschamp envisions championships in South Carolina’s future.

Lots of them.‘’We don’t have all the trophies and

the tradition and history but we have some grit,’’ the coach said after the Gamecocks rallied from a 16-point second-half deficit to beat Michigan 26-19 in Monday’s Outback Bowl.

Jake Bentley threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns Monday to pace the win, which gave the Gamecocks (9-4) at least nine wins in a season for just the seventh time.

Bentley shrugged off a slow start to toss scoring passes of 21 yards to Bryan Edwards and 53 yards to Shi Smith, the latter giving his team a 23-19 lead early in the fourth quarter.

The sophomore said once the Gamecocks began to have some success, the offense’s confidence grew.

‘’It’s just we started to execute well. The excitement, I think, is contagious to the whole team,’’ Bentley, voted the game’s most valuable player, said. ‘’You see where we went from there.’’

Michigan (8-5) finished with its first three-game losing streak under coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines turned the ball over five times after halftime, including an end zone interception that denied them an opportunity to re-gain the lead with just under eight minutes to go.

‘’We kind of let them hang around and they took advantage of it,’’ Har-baugh said. ‘’They got better as the game went on. We didn’t get the knock-out punch when we needed it.’’

Bentley was 19 of 32 passing with one interception. Rico Dowdle, play-ing for first time since breaking his leg against Tennessee on Oct. 14, began South Carolina’s comeback from a 19-3 deficit with a 17-yard TD run.

Brandon Peters had a tough day for Michigan, completing 20 of 44 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions. His second pick, with 1:05 remaining, sealed South Carolina’s second Outback Bowl victory over the Wolverines in five years.

Quinn Nordin accounted for most of Michigan’s scoring, kicking field goals of 35, 26, 45 and 48 yards. Fullback Ben Mason scored on a 1-yard run in helping Michigan build its 16-point lead.

GAME CHANGERSouth Carolina recovered one of its five forced turnovers with 57 seconds

left in third quarter and struck on the next play with a 21-yard pass from Jake Bentley to Bryan Edwards, cutting Michigan’s lead to 19-16. After the Gamecock defense forced Michigan to punt, Bentley found Shi Smith for a 53-yard touchdown pass to give South Carolina the lead for good.

KEY STAT23 — South Carolina scored 23 straight points in the second half to give
