2018 SEASON PREVIEW
ALL GAS, NO BRAKES Coming off a three-win season in 2015, head coach Will Muschamp took over a program that needed fixing. He quickly got to work and, with a new staff in place, was able to cobble together a six-win season in his first year at the helm in 2016. A three-win improvement in college football is very hard to duplicate. But that’s exactly what Coach Muschamp did in his second year guiding the Carolina football program. The team rolled up nine wins in 2017, including victories over traditional SEC East stalwarts Florida and Tennessee, and culminating with a New Year’s Day Outback Bowl win over perennial Big Ten power Michigan. But don’t think for a moment that Coach Muschamp is going to allow the squad to rest on its laurels. While the team has exceeded expectations in each of the last two seasons and the foundation for continued success is in place, the elusive goal of an SEC Championship remains front and center. And, as demonstrated by the new $50 million Football Operations Center slated to open by the end of the calendar year, to go along with 650 Lincoln - the state of the art complex where many of the student-athletes reside, the Jerri and Steve Spurrier indoor practice facility, the Dodie Academic Enrichment Center and the popular nutition center, the University’s commitment to having a successful football program has never been stronger. “I don’t want our fan base to confuse progress with accomplishment,” Coach Muschamp warned during the summer. “We haven’t accomplished anything. We have made progress, but we have to continue to move forward. I’m really excited about the vision and direction of our program, from our administration to our staff to our players.” With the mantra of “All Gas, No Brakes” the Gamecocks are in their best position in years to “Win the East and Win the State” in Coach Muschamp’s third campaign in 2018. The Gamecocks will welcome 53 letterwinners including 16 returning starters when they open fall camp. The list includes eight returning starters on offense, six on defense and both specialists. The offense should be much improved, with every skill position player, sans first-round NFL draft pick Hayden Hurst at tight end, returning. The defense has some holes to fill, especially accounting for the departure of All-SEC linebacker Skai Moore, but that side of the ball has always been Coach Muschamp’s calling card. The special teams units return all the key contributors from a season ago. The on-field coaching staff has a pair of new additions, with one newcomer and one who is more familiar. Dan Werner, a highly-successful veteran offensive mind, takes over as the quarterbacks coach. He, along with Bobby Bentley, Eric Wolford, and Pat Washington, will assist Bryan McClendon, as B-Mac transitions into the offensive coordinator role. Kyle Krantz, who has been on the Gamecocks’ staff for the past two years as a defensive analyst and is considered a rising star in the profession, was named to the newly-created 10th on-field coaching post. Krantz will assist Coleman Hutzler with the special teams and will work with the Nickels and the Sam linebackers. Georgia, which lost to Alabama in overtime in an all-SEC National Championship game, will no doubt be the heavy favorite to win the division again in 2018. But with coaching changes at Florida and Tennessee, the Gamecocks, who finished a surprising second last year and host Georgia in the second week of the season, figure to be the Bulldogs’ top challenger to represent the East in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta. But once again the schedule is filled with potential land mines. The 2018 campaign gets underway on September 1, when Carolina hosts in-state rival Coastal Carolina. It marks the first time the Gamecocks have opened the season at home since 2014. After the previously mentioned showdown with Georgia, Carolina will host Marshall. It will be the Gamecocks’ first meeting with the Thundering Herd since 1998. The next seven games will all be SEC contests, with road trips to Vanderbilt and Kentucky wrapping up the month of September. The Gamecocks will then spend the entire month of October at home, hosting Missouri on the 6th, Texas A&M on the 13th and Tennessee on the 27th. Trips to Ole Miss and Florida in early November conclude the conference slate. The Gamecocks’ final home contest is set for November 17 against Chattanooga, before the regular season winds down with the annual Palmetto State showdown at Clemson on November 24. 10
SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2018
Offense New offensive play caller Bryan McClendon will be tasked with getting more production from a Scoring Offense ...................24.2 (12/99) group of now experienced offen- Rushing Offense ..............122.2 (12/110) sive players. Carolina returns 98 Passing Offense ...................214.9 (6/77) Total Offense...................337.1 (12/108) percent of its rushing yards, 100 percent of its passing yards and 80 percent of its receiving yards from 2017 2017, with Hayden Hurst i h tight i h end dH d H being the only player who had rushing or receiving statistics that will not return. The Gamecocks return eight starters on offense, and that number does not include electric senior wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who scored six touchdowns in just three games last fall before suffering a season-ending injury. Samuel should be back at full strength, leading a cast of talented skill position players, that includes junior quarterback Jake Bentley, junior wide receiver Bryan Edwards, and a quartet of junior running backs, A.J. Turner, Rico Dowdle, Ty’Son Williams and Mon Denson, who were the top four rushers on the team. Despite the loss of Hurst, an All-SEC performer who passed up his senior season to be a first round pick in the NFL draft, tight end is one of the deeper positions on the team. As most are aware, games, especially in the SEC, are won up front. Center Alan Knott and guard Cory Helms will need to be replaced, but six players, including seniors Zack Bailey and Dennis Daley and fifth-year junior Donell Stanley, have started at least four games in their Gamecock careers.
2017 Statistics
Defense Head coach Will Muschamp’s calling card has always been defense, and that was the case again Scoring Defense ....................20.7 (5/25) in 2017. The Gamecocks surren- Rushing Defense .................141.1 (6/39) dered just 20.7 points per game, Passing Defense .................226.0 (10/69) Total Defense ......................367.1 (7/44) their best mark since 2012 and the fourth-straight year in which that number has declined. Carolina h held ld 11 off its 13 opponents to ffewer points scored than their season average. Five starters have graduated, including linebacker Skai Moore, the only player in school history to lead the team in tackles in four seasons and the school record-holder for career interceptions. Javon Kinlaw, Keir Thomas and D.J. Wonnum lead the returners up front in what was arguably the most improved unit on the field. Moore passes the torch to junior linebacker T.J. Brunson, who finished second on the team in tackles last season and shows a lot of the same instincts for the position as Moore. The linebacking corps will also get a lift from the return of senior Bryson Allen-Wlliams, who was sidelined for much of the 2017 campaign after suffering a shoulder injury. The secondary will need to be rebuilt following the departure of three senior starters. Cornerback Rashad Fenton and nickel Jamyest Williams are the returning starters. A pair of graduate transfers in Nick Harvey and J.T. Ibe could make an immediate impact.
2017 Statistics
Special Teams Special teams coordinator Coleman Hutzler returns both his starting punter and placekicker Kickoff Returns .....................21.6 (7/51) in Joseph Charlton and Park- Kick Return Defense .............20.5 (8/66) er White, respectively. While Punt Returns .........................7.1 (12/73) Punt Return Defense ...............5.6 (4/38) Charlton had a solid season, Net Punting ..........................40.5 (6/19) White needs to improve his long distance accuracy. White is also the incumbent for kickoff duty. Deep snapper Ben Asbury returns for his senior season, as does holder Danny Gordon. After returning two kicks for touchdowns in two tries last season, Deebo Samuel is the odds-on-favorite to handle those duties again this season, although several others, including Shi Smith and A.J. Turner could get a turn as well. Hutzler will need to find a capable replacement for punt returner Chris Lammons.
2017 Statistics
2018 POSITION PREVIEW QUARTERBACKS
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
DEFENSIVE BACKS
The Gamecocks have one of the top signal-callers in the SEC returning in junior Jake Bentley. Bentley has started each of the last 20 games, posting a 13-7 record. He threw for nearly 2,800 yards and 18 touchdowns a year ago, and has thrown for over 4,200 yards in his career. Senior Michael Scarnecchia firmly entrenched himself as the No. 2 QB in the spring, but has had very limited game experience. Redshirt freshman Jay Urich and true freshman Dakereon Joyner are the only other scholarship quarterbacks on campus.
Offensive line coach Eric Wolford feels very good about his starting five, but depth is a concern. The Gamecocks figure to line up with senior Dennis Daley at left tackle, senior Zack Bailey at left guard, fifth-year junior Donell Stanley at center, sophomore Sadarius Hutcherson at right guard and senior Blake Camper at right tackle. Senior Malik Young figures to be the first man up after that starting group. Christian Pellage and Will Putnam are the other veterans. Wolford likes the potential of a group of youngsters, including redshirt freshmen Summie Carlay, Jordon Carty, Eric Douglas and Jordan Rhodes, and true freshmen Wyatt Campbell, Jovaughn Gwyn, Maxwell Iyama, Hank Manos and Dylan Wonnum, but they are inexperienced at this level.
The defensive backfield may be the most watched position during fall camp, as several new faces could make their way into the lineup. Coming out of the spring Rashad Fenton and Keisean Nixon were the top cornerbacks, with Steven Montac and either Javon Charleston or Jamyest Williams, an All-Freshman SEC selection who missed all spring while recovering from surgery, the top safeties. Nixon was thought to be the squad’s best fit at Nickel. A pair of graduate transfers from the Lone Star state, cornerback Nick Harvey (Texas A&M) and safety J.T. Ibe (Rice) join the squad and are expected to make an immediate impact. Help at corner could also come from converted wide receiver Korey Banks, redshirt freshman Tavyn Jackson, who has been hampered by hamstring injuries since his arrival on campus, or newcomers Israel Mukuamu, one of the tallest corners in football at 6-4, and highlyregarded prospect Jaycee Horn, the son of former NFL standout Joe Horn. Quality depth at safety will be supplied by redshirt freshmen Zay Brown and Jaylin Dickerson, and newcomers Jonathan Gipson and R.J. Roderick.
RUNNING BACKS
The Gamecocks have four running backs who have all shown they are capable of producing in the SEC. While it’s possible that the “committee” of juniors, namely Rico Dowdle, A.J. Turner, Ty’Son Williams and Mon Denson, will split the carries, running backs coach Bobby Bentley would prefer for one of the quartet to stand out and take hold of the position as the “lead dog.” Both Dowdle and Turner have logged over 1,000 yards on the ground through their first two seasons at Carolina. True freshmen Deshaun Fenwick and speedster Lavonte Valentine could also push for playing time. WIDE RECEIVERS
The Gamecocks feature what could be considered the best wide receiver duo in the SEC in senior Deebo Samuel and junior Bryan Edwards. Samuel is an electric, game-changing player who is a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball. Edwards has excellent size and hands and, with 108 receptions for 1,383 yards after two years, could find himself near the top of the school record books before his career is over. A pair of unrelated sophomores named Smith - Shi and OrTre - made their presence felt as true freshmen a year ago and figure to be regular contributors again this season. Chavis Dawkins and Randrecous Davis are capable, but especially in the case of Davis, need to stay healthy to be factor. Chad Terrell will be limited after coming off an ACL injury. A trio of true freshmen in Tyquan Johnson, Darius Rush and Josh Vann, will push for a spot in the regular rotation. TIGHT ENDS
The Gamecocks will be without the services of first-team All-SEC selection and NFL first-round pick Hayden Hurst, but the cupboard is far from bare at tight end. K.C. Crosby was selected as a co-Offensive Player of the Spring and figures to have a big year in his final campaign. Fellow senior Jacob August, who is more of a blocking tight end compared to Crosby’s ability to stretch the field, is also poised to turn in his best season as a Gamecock. Juniors Kyle Markway, who has been hampered throughout his career by injuries, and Kiel Pollard could be the biggest beneficiaries from Hurst’s departure. The athletic Evan Hinson returns from his stint on the hardwood and could be the wild card in the group. Will Register continues to improve as a redshirt freshman.
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN
Similar to the offensive line, the coaching staff feels good about the starting group along the defensive front but developing quality depth remains a priority. Juniors D.J. Wonnum and Javon Kinlaw are All-SEC and possible All-America performers. Wonnum was selected a team captain as a sophomore last season, while Kinlaw lost roughly 40 pounds as he reshaped his massive body to be able to play at an elite level. Classmate Keir Thomas figures to be a regular inside. Daniel Fennell, who was impressive in the Outback Bowl, and Brad Johnson, Shameik Blackshear and Aaron Sterling all are candidates to come off the edge. Kobe Smith, M.J. Webb, and Griffin Gentry, and newcomers Kingsley Enagbare, Jabari Ellis, Tyreek Johnson, Jesus Gibbs and Rick Sandidge will all have an opportunity for playing time in the middle of the line. LINEBACKERS
The Gamecocks will have to replace Skai Moore, the team’s leading tackler in four of the last five seasons. Junior T.J. Brunson has taken over the leadership duties of the defense, plays with great instinct and has all the intangibles. Either senior Eldridge Thompson or sophomore Sherrod Greene figures to line up next to Brunson. Thompson got his feet wet last season as a JUCO transfer, while Greene was a true freshman who impressed the coaches. Bryson Allen-Williams returns following a season-ending injury a year ago and can to play the SAM or Buck positions, while sophomore Damani Staley and true freshmen Rosendo Louis Jr. and Ernest Jones figure to battle for playing time as well.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Another closely watched battle this fall will come at placekicker. Alexander Woznick won the job in camp a year ago, but was supplanted by Parker White early in the season. White finished the season hitting 14-of-25 attempts overall, but was 10for-11 inside 40 yards, including a game-winner in the final seconds against Louisiana Tech. Others could challenge in fall camp as well. White was consistent on kickoffs throughout the 2017 campaign and figures to hold onto that duty. The punting chores should go to junior Joseph Charlton, who could be a candidate for postseason accolades. Charlton averaged 43.5 yards a season ago while earning the team’s MVP honors for special teams along with the Most Productive Player award for special teams. Junior Michael Almond is a capable backup. Ben Asbury is the incumbent as the long snapper, although he missed the spring while rehabbing from knee surgery. Danny Gordon returns for his final season as the holder on placekicks. Deebo Samuel returns as the primary kick returner. Samuel had just two opportunities to return kicks a season ago and took both of them 97 yards to paydirt. Special teams coach Coleman Hutzler will need to find a replacement for punt returner Chris Lammons.

SEC HISTORY: The 2018 season marks South Carolina’s 27th year in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina and Arkansas joined the league prior to the 1992 campaign. The Gamecocks earned the SEC Eastern Division title in the 2010 season. The Gamecocks are 90-117-1 (.435) all-time in SEC regular-season play, but are 35-29 (.547) in conference action since the start of the 2010 season. With a 5-3 mark and sole possession of second place in the SEC East in 2017, the Gamecocks won five or more conference games for just the eighth time in 26 years since joining the SEC. 2017 IN REVIEW: South Carolina football concluded its 124th season of intercollegiate football in 2017 with a record of 9-4, including a 5-3 mark in the SEC. The Gamecocks won nine or
SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2018
more games for just the seventh time in school history. Five of those seven seasons have come in the last eight years. South Carolina defeated Florida and Tennessee, two of the big three SEC East rivals, in the same season for just the fourth time. Two of the Gamecocks’ four losses were to teams that participated in the College Football Playoff (Georgia and Clemson). The season culminated with a New Year’s Day Outback Bowl win over perennial Big Ten power Michigan. EIGHT WAS NOT ENOUGH: The Gamecocks won nine games during the 2017 season. It marked just the seventh time in school history that Carolina has won nine or more games in a season, six of which have come in this century and five in this decade. X 11 wins - 3 times (2011, 2012, 2013) X 10 wins - 1 time (1984) X 9 wins - 3 times (2001, 2010, 2017) PROGRAM ON THE RISE: The Gamecocks increased their overall win total from three in 2015 to six in 2016 to nine in 2017.

GOING BOWLING: The Gamecocks played in the 2018 Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day, defeating Michigan by a 26-19 score. Carolina overcame a 19-3 third-quarter deficit, the largest in head coach Will Muschamp’s career, to post the victory. It marked the 13th time in the last 14 years that the Gamecocks were bowl-eligible. The Gamecocks are 6-5 in the 11 bowl games played in that stretch, including wins in five of their last six bowl appearances. Carolina is 9-13 all time in 22 bowl games.

son in Columbia. Coach Muschamp has posted a 15-11 ledger in his first two seasons guiding the Gamecocks. Only Joe Morrison (15-8 in 198384) and Steve Spurrier (15-10 in 2005-06) won as many games in their first two seasons at Carolina. COACHING CAROUSEL: Head football coach Will Muschamp relieved co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper of his duties on December 6.

Will Muschamp begins his third season directing the Gamecocks’ football fortunes in 2018. Muschamp was introduced as the University of South Carolina’s 34th head football coach on December 7, 2015. In his first season in Columbia, Muschamp guided the Gamecocks to a 6-7 mark and a spot in the Birmingham Bowl. The Gamecocks doubled their win total from the previous season while increasing their SEC wins from one to three. The Gamecocks started as many true freshman (7) as any school in the country, and were the only Division I school to have true freshmen lead the team in both passing (Jake Bentley) and rushing (Rico Dowdle). Seventy-six of the Gamecocks’ 113-man Birmingham Bowl roster (67.3 percent) were either freshmen or sophomores in Muschamp’s first campaign. His second season brought more success, as the team won nine games for just the seventh time in school history, was the only Power 5 school to have a multiple win total increase in each of the last two seasons, finished second in the SEC East and earned a secondstraight bowl appearance. The season culminated with an Outback Bowl victory over Michigan on New Year’s Day. Regarded as an outstanding defensive mind, Muschamp is a 23-year coaching veteran, including 15 years in the Southeastern Conference. In six seasons as a head coach, all in the SEC, Muschamp owns a 43-32 record, a .573 winning percentage. With a 1511 mark at South Carolina, he matched Joe Morrison and Steve Spurrier for the most wins in their first two seasons at the helm. His previous head coaching experience came at the University of Florida where he posted a 28-21 record from 2011-14. He led the Gators to three bowl games in his four seasons in
SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2018
Gainesville and was recognized as the SEC Coach of the Year in 2012 after guiding Florida to an 11-2 record and a Top-10 finish. As an assistant coach, the Rome, Ga., native has worked in two national championship games (2003 and 2009), winning with LSU in 2003, and coached in a pair of BCS bowl games following the 2008 and 2012 seasons. He has coached in and won three conference championship games, twice in the SEC and once in the Big 12. He was a finalist for the 2007 Broyles Award, presented to the nation’s top assistant coach. Prior to his arrival in Columbia, Muschamp most recently served as the defensive coordinator at Auburn University in 2015, his third stint as an SEC defensive coordinator. He also held that title with Auburn from 2006-07 and at LSU from 2002-04. In his six seasons as an SEC defensive coordinator, Muschamp’s units ranked among the nation’s Top-10 in total defense and in scoring defense five times. Muschamp’s first full-time coaching experience in the SEC came at LSU. He was the Tigers’ linebacker coach for one season before being elevated to defensive coordinator from 2002-04. His 2003 defense helped the Tigers to the national championship by leading the nation both in scoring defense (11.0 ppg) and total defense (252.0 ypg), while finishing second nationally in pass efficiency defense (89.8) and third in rushing defense (67.0 ypg). Prior to taking the reins at Florida, Muschamp served as the defensive coordinator at Texas from 2008-10. Under his guidance, the Longhorn defense ranked No. 1 in the nation with 119 sacks and ranked in the Top-10 nationally allowing 2.9 yards per rushing attempt (third), 96.7 rushing yards per game (fourth) and 297.4 yards per
game (seventh), all Big 12 bests during that span. In 2009, Texas played in the BCS National Championship game. Under Muschamp’s tutelage, Brian Orakpo won the 2008 Rotary Lombardi, Bronko Nagurski and Ted Hendricks awards. In the 2009 and 2010 NFL Drafts, Muschamp had a combined eight players drafted, seven in the first four rounds, including first-rounders Brian Orakpo and Earl Thomas. In four of his nine seasons as an FBS defensive coordinator, his teams have allowed less than 100 rushing yards per game and twice led the nation in rushing defense. His 2003 LSU defense led the country by allowing 67 yards per game on the ground, the best mark by an SEC team in the 2000s, while Texas gave up just 73.1 yards on the ground in 2009 to pace the nation. A 1994 Georgia graduate, Muschamp moved immediately into coaching, working as a GA at Auburn from 1995-96, while earning his master’s degree. He served as a secondary coach at West Georgia (1998) and Eastern Kentucky (1999) before moving into his first defensive coordinator position at Valdosta State for the 2000 season, where he helped the Blazers to a 10-2 record and the Gulf South title. Muschamp also logged a stint in the NFL, working as the Miami Dolphins Assistant Head Coach for Defense in 2005 under Nick Saban. During his playing career at Georgia, Muschamp earned his way from walkon to scholarship player by the spring of his redshirt freshman season and eventually was named co-captain as a senior. A safety on the gridiron, he earned a spot on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 1993. Born August 3, 1971, Muschamp and his wife, the former Carol Davis, have two sons, Jackson and Whit.

Bobby Bentley begins his third season at the University of South Carolina in 2018. Bentley joined Will Muschamp’s coaching staff on December 8, 2015 when he was named running backs coach. In his first season in Columbia in 2016, Bentley developed a pair of freshmen running backs in Rico Dowdle and A.J. Turner into the squad’s top two rushers. In fact, 78 percent of the rushing yards were by freshmen, with Dowdle and Turner combining for over 1,200 yards. Bentley’s second season proved to be a case of running back by committee. The sophomore quartet of Rico Dowdle, A.J. Turner, Ty’Son Williams and Mon Denson, all had strong moments. In addition, Bentley mentored his son, Jake, for the 2018 Outback Bowl, following the dismissal of quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper. A South Carolina native, Bentley returned to the Palmetto State after two seasons as an offensive analyst at Auburn under Gus Malzahn. In 2014, the Tigers posted an 8-5 record, including a loss to Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl. During his time at Auburn, Bentley worked with a trio of running backs, Cameron Artis-Payne, Corey Grant and Peyton Barber, all of whom went on to play in the NFL.
SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2018
Prior to his stint at Auburn, Bentley was the head coach at James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C. where he was one of the most successful high school coaches in the country. He served as an assistant for the Rebels from 1990-94 before being named head coach in 1995. He compiled a 119-54 record at Byrnes in two stints (1995-2006 and 2013) and won four-consecutive state championships from 2002-05. The Rebels posted a 57-2 record during the title streak run. Following the team’s fourth state title, Bentley was honored as the 2005 Nike National Coach of the Year. He also was named as the South Carolina Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year in 2006. He was the Rebels’ head coach for one additional season (2013) when he logged a 12-2 record and garnered a Region II-4A title. During his time at Byrnes, Bentley had the opportunity to coach Marcus Lattimore, who went on to an outstanding collegiate career at South Carolina before injuries derailed his career. Bentley was named head coach at his alma mater, Presbyterian College in 2007, becoming the first NCAA Football Championship Subdivision head football coach in PC’s history. In his first year at PC, the Blue
Hose ranked third nationally in both passing yards and total offense and finished in the top 15 in both scoring and passing efficiency while logging a 6-5 record. In two seasons at Presbyterian he posted a 10-13 mark. During his time at PC, the Blue Hose set school records in points scored in a season (404), yards in a season (5,290), passing yards in a game (648) and passing efficiency. Bentley also signed and coached NFL Pro Bowl cornerback Justin Bethel. On January 5, 2009, Bentley resigned as head football coach of the Blue Hose. He accepted a new position with Spartanburg School District 5 as the district wide athletic director and public information officer. A 1986 Byrnes alumnus, Bentley played football at Presbyterian before graduating in 1990. He and his wife, the former Paulette West, are the parents of five children: Chas, Shuler, Jake, Brooks and Emily. Shuler, a redshirt senior quarterback, is the returning starter at Murray State after spending three years at Old Dominion, while Jake is a junior quarterback on the Gamecocks’ squad. Chas works in the South Carolina weight room as a strength and conditioning graduate assistant.

Coleman Hutzler begins his third season at South Carolina in 2018. Hutzler was added to head coach Will Muschamp’s first Gamecock coaching staff on December 18, 2015. He coordinates the special teams efforts and coaches the linebackers. In 2017, Hutzler was one of 56 nominees for the Broyles Award, which goes to the nation’s top assistant coach. Punter Joseph Charlton logged one of the school’s top singleseason punting average at 43.5 yards per kick, while ranking among the nation’s top 30. Deebo Samuel returned each of his two kickoffs for touchdowns in the season’s first two games. Defensively, linebackers Skai Moore and T.J. Brunson were the team’s top two tacklers, logging over 180 stops between them. Moore, who led the team in tackles in all four of his seasons for the Gamecocks, earned All-SEC accolades. Under Hutzler’s tutelage, the South Carolina kickoff return team led the SEC and ranked eighth in the nation, averaging 25.8 yards per return in 2016. A trio of players, Deebo Samuel, A.J. Turner and Rashad Fenton, all returned a kick at least 50 yards, with Samuel taking one to the house from 100 yards away. Placekicker Elliott Fry became the school’s all-time leading scorer, while snapper Drew Williams was recognized as a fourth-team AllAmerican. Hutzler spent the 2015 season as the special teams coordinator and
outside linebackers coach at Boston College. During his year in Chestnut Hill, freshman Michael Walker ranked in the top 10 in the nation in kick return average, while the Eagles were second in the nation in punt return defense, allowing just 1.66 yards per return. BC also blocked three punts on the year. Hutzler was also part of a staff that produced the nation’s stingiest defense, as the Eagles allowed just 254.3 yards per game and 24.1 percent of third down conversions and were second in rushing defense at 82.8 yards per contest. Previously, Hutzler logged two stints at Florida, first from 2010-11 as Assistant to Linebackers and Special Teams Coordinator, then again for the 2014 season, handling special teams and outside linebackers. In 2014, Florida had the secondbest punt return average in the SEC and the 17th-best unit in the nation. UF punter Kyle Christy earned AP second-team All-SEC honors after averaging 44.3 yards per punt, the nation’s 14th-best average. As the Gators outside linebackers coach, Hutzler coached Dante Fowler, Jr. to a first-team Coaches All-SEC selection. Between his stints in Gainesville, Hutzler was the special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach at New Mexico from 201213. He coached punter Ben Skaer to first-team All-Mountain West accolades and returner Carlos Wiggins to MWC Special Teams Player of the Year and a second-team All-
America honors in 2013. Wiggins returned three kickoffs for touchdowns, and the Lobos were first in the conference and 15th in the nation in kickoff returns. The Lobos improved from 112th nationally to 25th in net punting, and their puntreturn defense improved to No. 19 from 106th. Hutzler began his coaching career at the University of San Diego, working as a defensive assistant in 2006. He moved to Palo Alto to become a recruiting assistant at Stanford in 2007. He was an assistant to co-defensive coordinators Ron Lynn and Andy Buh and to DJ Durkin at Stanford in 2008 and 2009. The Las Vegas, Nevada, native played football at Middlebury College in Vermont, earning his degree in psychology. A linebacker on the team from 2002-05, he was a team captain as a senior and left the program second in career tackles. He also was a three-year catcher on the baseball team. Hutzler and his wife, Cobey, have a son, Micah, and a daughter, Leila. Cobey is a former director of volleyball operations at Stanford and was the Florida Class 3A Coach of the Year in 2011 while working at P.K. Yonge High. She played volleyball at UNLV and Michigan and is the daughter of long time University of Hawai’i women’s volleyball coach, Dave Shoji, who recently retired as the second all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division 1 history.

Bryan McClendon joined the Carolina staff on December 23, 2015. In his first two seasons, McClendon served as the co-offensive coordinator and tutored the Gamecocks’ wide receiving corps. He was put in charge of the offense and called the plays for the 2018 Outback Bowl and, in early January 2018, was named the full-time offensive coordinator. In 2017, McClendon had a very young stable of receivers, with no seniors on the roster. After an early season injury took standout Deebo Samuel out of the mix, McClendon groomed sophomore Bryan Edwards and true freshmen OrTre Smith and Shi Smith into a formidable unit. McClendon also had success on the recruiting trail, placing 25th on 247Sports recruiter rankings. Under McClendon’s guidance, Samuel and Edwards, developed into one of the SEC’s finest receiving duos during the 2016 campaign. Samuel paced the team with 59 receptions for 783 yards, while Edwards turned in the second-best true freshman season in Gamecock history, behind only Alshon Jeffery, logging 44 catches for 590 yards. McClendon was also recognized as one of the nation’s top 25 recruiters for the 2017 cycle by Rivals.com. McClendon came to Columbia following a stint at his alma mater, the University of Georgia. A former Bulldog wide receiver, McClendon held several titles during the 2015
season, including wide receivers coach, assistant head coach and passing game coordinator. He was named interim head coach on Dec. 3, 2015, and served in that capacity in the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl, a 24-17 win over Penn State. From 20092014, he was the Bulldogs’ running backs coach. McClendon also served as recruiting coordinator in 201415. While he was a member of the full-time coaching staff, Georgia teams won 64 games and two SEC Eastern Division titles. McClendon was part of an offensive staff that led Georgia to the 2014 SEC scoring offense title (41.3 ppg) and three consecutive record-setting seasons: total yards in a season (6,547 in 2012, 6,294 in 2013, 5,964 in 2014); average yards per game (467.64 in 2012, 484.2 in 2013, 458.8 in 2014); and most TDs in a season (72 in 2012, 58 in 2013, 70 in 2014). He has coached some of the country’s top tailbacks including Todd Gurley (2015 1st round draft choice of the St. Louis Rams), 2014 Freshman All-American Nick Chubb, and 2011 SEC Freshman of the Year Isaiah Crowell. McClendon was a four-year letterman with the Bulldogs (2002-05) and his senior class won 44 games-most by any class in Georgia history. During his tenure, the Bulldogs won three Southeastern Conference Eastern Division titles (2002, ‘03, ‘05), two SEC championships (2002,
‘05), and played in four bowl games (2003 Nokia Sugar, ‘04 Capital One, ‘05 Outback, ‘06 Nokia Sugar), winning three of them. McClendon’s career blossomed in 2005, when the Bulldogs won the SEC championship. The Atlanta, Ga., native caught 35 passes with six going for touchdowns. He caught the game-winning TD pass in the closing minutes against Georgia Tech, and then blocked a punt in the SEC Championship game, which led to the Bulldogs’ third TD in the 34-14 victory over LSU. Following his Georgia career, McClendon signed a free agent contract with the NFL’s Chicago Bears. After one summer with the Bears, he returned to Georgia as a graduate assistant from 2007-08. Born December 28, 1983, McClendon graduated from Georgia in December 2005, with a degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies. He is the son of former Georgia tailback Willie McClendon, 1978 SEC Player of the Year and running back for the Chicago Bears. McClendon was a prep standout at Mays High School where he was a PrepStar All-American and a SuperPrep All-Dixie team. He played in the Georgia-Florida high school all-star game following his senior season. Bryan is married to the former Amber Arnold of Atlanta, Ga. They have three children, Bryan, Brooke and Brayden McClendon.

Pat Washington, a 30-year collegiate coaching veteran, begins his third season at South Carolina serving as the tight ends coach. Under Washington’s watch, Hayden Hurst went from a former walk-on to a first-team All-SEC tight end, ranking second on the squad in both receptions and yards receiving during the 2017 campaign. In his first season in Columbia, Washington was responsible for the development of sophomore standouts Hurst and K.C. Crosby. Hurst set school tight end records with 48 receptions and 616 receiving yards, while Crosby tied for the team lead with four TD receptions. Washington has 20 years of experience under his belt on five different SEC staffs, including an 11-year stint as wide receivers coach at Tennessee (1995-2005), which included an undefeated 1998 season and a national title. He came to South Carolina from Missouri, where he has served as the receiving coach from 2013-15. The Tigers captured the SEC Eastern Division title and played in the SEC Championship game in both 2013 and 2014. Senior receiver Bud Sasser was named first-team All-SEC in 2014, becoming Missouri’s first first-team all-conference wide receiver since 2009. Mizzou’s wideouts enjoyed a banner year in 2013 and played a critical role as the Tigers became one of the most improved offensive attacks
in the nation. Leading the way was Dorial Green-Beckham, who earned second-team All-SEC honors by the Associated Press after catching 59 passes for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns -- the latter of which tied for most in the SEC in 2013. Washington’s receivers solid downfield blocking also helped spring the Tiger ground game for a 3,000-yard season as part of MU’s 12-2 campaign. Washington has enjoyed success throughout his career, as he’s coached on teams that have reached bowl games 19 times. Tennessee posted a 105-31 record during his tenure that featured 10 bowl appearances -- including three Citrus Bowls, two Fiesta, Peach and Cotton Bowls, and one Orange Bowl. The Volunteers also reached the SEC Championship Game four times with Washington on staff. A win in the 1998 SEC title game vaulted UT to the 1999 Fiesta Bowl, where the Vols downed Florida State, 23-16, to cap an undefeated season and a national championship. During his tenure at Tennessee, Washington developed several standout receivers, including Peerless Price, Donte Stallworth, Joey Kent, Marcus Nash, Robert Meachem and Cedrick Wilson, among others. Nash, Stallworth and Meachem were first-round draft picks, and all six enjoyed NFL careers. Washington’s coaching career began at Auburn, where he served his alma mater as a GA from 1987-88.
After the Tigers reached bowl games both years, Washington landed his first full-time position as the receivers coach at Louisiana-Lafayette (1989-91), and that was followed by a two-year stop at TCU (1992-93) as receivers coach. He spent one year at Baylor (1994) as running backs coach, and the Bears reached the 1994 Alamo Bowl during his time there, before he left to join Tennessee the following year. Following his time at UT, Washington coached receivers at Kansas State in 2006, helping the Wildcats to a berth in the Texas Bowl. He then returned to the SEC as the receivers coach at Mississippi State from 2007-08. The Bulldogs broke a six-year postseason drought, winning the 2007 AutoZone Liberty Bowl. From 2009-11, Washington coached running backs at Southern Mississippi, and his backfield played an integral role in Southern Miss’ Conference USA Championship in 2011. He spent the 2012 season at Kentucky as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator. A native of Mobile, Ala., Washington played quarterback at Auburn from 1982-85. He guided the Tigers to a combined 17-8 record in his final two seasons years and to 1984 Liberty Bowl and 1986 Cotton Bowl appearances. Washington earned a management degree from Auburn in 1987. He and his wife, Claudette, are the parents of sons Tyson and Justin.

Dan Werner, a highly-successful veteran offensive mind, was named the Gamecocks’ quarterback coach in January 2018. Werner comes to Columbia after one season as an offensive analyst at Alabama under Nick Saban. He spent the previous five years as the co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at the University of Mississippi under head coach Hugh Freeze. In 2016, Ole Miss led the SEC in passing offense (314.9 yards per game), was third in total offense (464.3 ypg) and fourth in scoring offense at 32.6 points per game. In 2015, Ole Miss set program records for scoring (531), touchdowns (68), total offense (6,731), passing yards (4,351), passing touchdowns (35), 50+ point games (4) and games with more than 600 yards of offense (3). The Rebels led the SEC and were top-10 nationally in scoring (40.8), total offense (517.8 ypg) and passing (334.7 ypg), garnering Werner his second nomination for the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. Under Werner’s tutelage, Bo Wallace broke Ole Miss school records for career total offensive yards (10,478), 300-yard passing games (11), completion percentage (63.0) and pass efficiency (140.8) and went 24-15 as the Rebels’ starting quarterback from 2012-14. In just three years as a starter, Wallace ranked in the SEC’s top 10 all-time in total offense and passing yards.

Over his last five seasons (200105) at Miami, Hurricane quarterbacks threw for more than 14,500 yards and 114 touchdowns under Werner, giving balance to an offensive philosophy predicated on equality between the run and the pass. Werner’s second stint in Coral Gables was preceded by a spectacular 2000 season as offensive coordinator at Murray State. He built the Racers’ offense into one of the most potent on the FCS level, as the team ranked 11th nationally in total offense (452 yards/game) and 13th in passing yardage (276 yards/game).

Offensive line coach Eric Wolford begins his second year on Will Muschamp’s staff and his third year overall in Columbia. Wolford previously served on Steve Spurrier’s staff during the 2009 campaign. Despite numerous injuries that forced nine different players into the starting front five, Carolina’s offensive line, under Wolford’s direction, allowed 28 sacks in 2017, 13 fewer than they allowed in 2016. Wolford was also named a top-25 recruiter by Rivals following the 2018 February signing date. Before coming back to Carolina, Wolford spent the previous two seasons in the NFL as the San Francisco 49ers assistant offensive line coach. Prior to his stint with the 49ers, Wolford logged 19 seasons as a coach at the collegiate level, including five (2010-14) as the head coach at Youngstown State. After a 3-8 mark in his first season, the Penguins compiled a 28-18 mark over his final four campaigns, were ranked in the top-10 three times, and broke 32 school records during his tenure. Highlights included a 2012 win over Pitt - the first win over a BCS team in school history, and a 2011 win over top-ranked North Dakota State, while overseeing the squad’s highest GPA on record for four-consecutive seasons. Wolford served as South Carolina’s run game coordinator and offensive line coach in 2009 after a twoyear stint at Illinois where he held a
similar post. Under Wolford’s tutelage, the Illini, which played in the 2008 Rose Bowl game, led the Big Ten in rushing (2007) and passing (2008), while topping the 5,000yard mark in total offense for just the third and fourth times in school history. Wolford was considered a Rivals Top-20 National Recruiter in 2008. Wolford spent three seasons (2004-06) at Arizona as the offensive line coach. UA led the league in fewest sacks allowed in 2004 and was second in 2005. He was also an integral part of back-to-back top-25 recruiting classes. Wolford spent the 2003 season at North Texas, where his offensive line paved the way for tailback Patrick Cobbs. He rushed for a leaguerecord 1,690 yards, earning the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year Award. Cobbs averaged 152 yards and 11.5 points per game, leading the NCAA. The offensive line blocked for a rushing average of 177.5 yards per game, which ranked 35th nationally, allowed only 18 sacks during the season and posted an 88 percent efficiency rating in the redzone. Wolford also helped lead UNT to its third-consecutive bid to the New Orleans Bowl. Before joining North Texas, Wolford enjoyed three-year stints at both Houston and South Florida. While at Houston, he coached a number of positions, spanning offense, defense and special teams. In 2002, Hous-
ton enjoyed a dramatic turnaround, going from a winless season to five victories. The team also ended on a high note, defeating nationallyranked Louisville in the finale. During that time, Wolford coached five all-conference players. Wolford had the unique experience of coaching in the first three seasons of the South Florida football program, helping to lead the Bulls to two winning seasons in three years. In year two of the building process, the offense put up over 400 yards per game, including 191.5 rushing yards per contest. Running back Dyral McMillan became the school’s first 1,000-yard rusher that year. Wolford began his coaching career at his alma mater, Kansas State, where he served as a GA and worked with the offensive line under John Latina. He then spent two years as the offensive line and strength coach at Emporia State. Wolford was a four-year starter at K-State under Bill Snyder, and his teams laid the groundwork for the program’s emergence on the national stage. During his senior year, the Wildcats won the school’s first bowl game in the 1993 Copper Bowl. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1994 in social sciences with a focus on monetary policy and banking. Wolford signed a free agent contract with Buddy Ryan’s Arizona Cardinals. Wolford and his wife, Dr. Melinda Wolford, have a son, Stone, and a daughter, Marlee.

South Carolina 35 NC State 28 September 2, 2017 Bank 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, returning 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 Dowdle 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 CHANGER NC 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. 92

South Carolina 31 Missouri 13 September 9, 2017 Memorial Stadium Columbia, Mo. 55,023
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-purpose star. For the second straight week, Samuel returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, 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 capable 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 productive 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 Missouri 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 CHANGER Missouri 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 touchdown 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.

Kentucky 23 South Carolina 13 September 16, 2017 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 82,493
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Benny Snell Jr. rushed for two touchdowns and Kentucky’s defense held off South Carolina to win its fourth straight over the Gamecocks, 23-13, on Saturday night. Snell, who’s status was in doubt earlier in the week due to bruised ribs, rushed for scores of 5 and 1 yard in leading the Wildcats (1-0 Southeastern 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 interception 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 season. But he left the game in the fourth quarter with an injury. GAME CHANGER South 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 interception 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.

South Carolina 17 Louisiana Tech 16 September 23, 2017 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 71,821
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Nothing had gone right in Parker White’s college 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 seconds left as the Gamecocks (3-1) beat the Bulldogs 17-16 on Saturday. White danced around the field waving 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 touchdown 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 10play, 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 CHANGER With Louisiana Tech driving for points towards the end of the third quarter, 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 STAT 41 -- 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 completion set up Parker White’s game-winning 31-yard field goal with four seconds remaining, giving the Gamecocks the one-point win.

Texas A&M 24 South Carolina 17 September 30, 2017 Kyle Field College Station, Texas 96,430
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 Conference) 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 Williams 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 CHANGER In 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 answered with a field goal. Texas A&M scored touchdowns on its next two possessions to take the lead it would not relinquish. KEY STAT 151-7 – Texas A&M outgained South Carolina 151-7 in the fourth quarter, 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.

South Carolina 48 Arkansas 22 October 7, 2017 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 79,416
COLUMBIA, S.C. — An unprecedented night by South Carolina’s defense may have rescued the Gamecocks season and sent Arkansas back down a familiar, discouraging path. The Gamecocks (4-2, 2-2 Southeastern) scored three touchdowns on defense - returning two interceptions and a fumble - in a 48-22 win over Arkansas (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 interception 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 confidence is through the roof.’’ GAME CHANGER With 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 STAT 3 -- 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.

South Carolina 15 Tennessee 9 October 14, 2017 Neyland Stadium Knoxville, Tenn. 98,104
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 offense reached South Carolina’s 2-yard line with nine seconds left before Jarrett 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 prevented South Carolina from grabbing a 10-9 lead. South Carolina pulled ahead for good on its next possession with a 16play, 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 CHANGER Tennessee’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 defense. 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 STAT 86 — 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 34 Vanderbilt 27 October 28, 2017 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 78,992
COLUMBIA, S.C. — On the expected legs of A.J. Turner and the surprising legs of quarterback Jake Bentley, South Carolina is finally back in an Southeastern Conference East Division 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 career to lead South Carolina (6-2, 4-2) to a 34-27 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday. 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 deepbreath 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 helpless 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 CHANGER The 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.

#2/2 Georgia 24 South Carolina 10 November 4, 2017 Sanford Stadium Athens, Ga. 92,746
ATHENS, GA. — Jake Fromm proved he can throw - and block a little, 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 Kentucky 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 CHANGER South Carolina tied the game at seven on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jake Bentley to Bryan Edwards, but Georgia answered on its next possession 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 STAT 242 -- Georgia ran for 242 yards on 53 carries in the win over South Carolina. 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.

South Carolina 28 Florida 20 November 11, 2017 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 79,727
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 Gamecocks have rarely achieved. South Carolina (7-3, 5-3 Southeastern) 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?’’ philosophy, 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 CHANGER With 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. Henderson 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 STAT 242 – 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.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina 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 Saturday. 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 rushing 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 CHANGER Wofford held a 3-0 lead after the end of the first quarter and had possession 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 STAT 1,004 — A.J. Turner ran for 69 yards on 11 carries in the win over Wofford 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 Renfrow 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 weekend, 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 12yard 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 3531 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 CHANGER Clemson 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 STAT 35:26 — 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.

South Carolina 26 Michigan 19 January 1, 2018 Raymond James Stadium 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 regain the lead with just under eight minutes to go. ‘’We kind of let them hang around and they took advantage of it,’’ Harbaugh said. ‘’They got better as the game went on. We didn’t get the knockout punch when we needed it.’’ Bentley was 19 of 32 passing with one interception. Rico Dowdle, playing 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 CHANGER South 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.

South Carolina fielded its first football team in 1892 and for the first three seasons no head coach was designated. The all-time won-lost-tie record includes those three seasons. No football was played in 1893 and in 1906 the trustees abolished the sport for one season.

George Rogers 1980 Heisman Trophy Winner All-America running back George Rogers won the 1980 Heisman Trophy following his senior season at South Carolina, as he was recognized as the nation’s top collegiate football player.

SHARPE
Steve
2 WADIAK
Sterling Sharpe concluded his career as the school’s all-time leading receiver with 169 catches for 2,497 yards and 17 touchdowns. Sharpe had his jersey retired following the 1987 regular season. He became only the second Gamecock to have his jersey retired while he was still active at the school. Sharpe was a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1988. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 2014.
George
ROGERS
37
Running back Steve Wadiak, who wore No. 37 for Carolina from 1948-51, was the first to have his number retired, after a tragic automobile accident claimed his life. Wadiak, who still appears throughout the Carolina record book, was the school’s all-time rushing leader for 28 years after his senior season. Wadiak rushed for 2,878 yards in his career. He led the team in scoring and rushing all four years he played. His number was retired in 1951.
Mike
38 JOHNSON 56
Considered the greatest player in school history, 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers had his No. 38 jersey retired during halftime ceremonies at Carolina’s final 1980 home game. Rogers was the first South Carolina player to have his jersey retired while still active at the school. Rogers was the first player chosen in the 1981 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1997.
Mike Johnson, a 6-4, 226-pound offensive center from Church Hill, Tenn., became gravely ill around Christmas time prior to the start of his junior season and the illness cut short a potentially great football career. While just a sophomore, Johnson served as the Gamecocks’ starting center over the final half of the 1964 campaign. His number 56 was retired following his death in 1965.

2018 OUTBACK BOWL Carolina 26, Michigan 19 January 1, 2018 Raymond James Stadium 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 (94) 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 regain the lead with just under eight minutes to go. ‘’We kind of let them hang around and they took advantage of it,’’ Harbaugh said. ‘’They got better as the game went on. We didn’t get the knockout punch when we needed it.’’ Bentley was 19 of 32 passing with one interception. Rico Dowdle, playing 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 CHANGER South 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 STAT 23 — South Carolina scored 23 straight points in the second half to give the Gamecocks the 26-19 win. Carolina was down 19-3 with 5:42 left in the third quarter but went on a six-play 77-yard drive that ended with a 17-yard run from Rico Dowdle with 2:25 left in the quarter. South Carolina took the lead for good on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Jake Bentley to Shi Smith with 11:33 left in the game.

2016 BIRMINGHAM BOWL USF 46, Carolina 39 December 29, 2016 Legion Field Birmingham, Ala. 31,229 BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — South Carolina (6-7) stormed back from an 18-point deficit to force overtime, but USF (11-2) came through in the end to claim a 46-39 victory in the 2016 Birmingham Bowl from Legion Field. The Bulls wasted no time in taking the advantage in overtime, as quarterback Quinton Flowers scrambled before finding Elkanah Dillon in the end zone for the decisive score. The Gamecocks benefited from a face mask penalty to keep their OT possession alive, but Mike Love, on 4th-and-6, produced a sack to end the chance and the game in the Bulls’ favor. In the fourth quarter, South Carolina got a critical score with 9:41 to go. On 4th-and-2 from the USF 9, A Bull defender tipped the Jake Bentley pass, but freshman wide receiver Bryan Edwards, diving right behind the tip, brought in the catch at the back of the end zone for a touchdown. That brought the Gamecocks within a score at 39-31. The Gamecocks drove inside the Bulls’ 10 with a chance to tie the game, but cornerback Tajee Fullwood forced a fumble at the two, and Khalid McGee recovered it to end that chance. The Gamecock defense stepped up and held the Bulls to only a yard and forced their third punt in four possessions. Chris Lammons returned the punt to the USF 2, setting up A.J. Turner’s one-yard score. Needing two to tie the game, Bentley hit Hayden Hurst in the back of the end zone to convert and tie things at 39-39. The Gamecock defense held again to force overtime. In the first quarter, USF got a pair of four-yard runs from its starting quarterback Flowers, the first on a designed draw and the second on a scramble, to take the advantage. The Bulls converted a two-point conversion after the first score, making it 15-0 after the traditional PAT kick after the second run. The Gamecocks struck fast with a four-play, 81-yard drive that saw freshman quarterback Bentley run for the first 10 yards before throwing the final 71 yards. A completion to sophomore wide receiver Deebo Samuel came before two receptions by Hurst, the final a 25-yard scoring catch. A fourth-down conversion helped USF send the lead back to 15. Flowers hit D’Ernest Johnson, who rumbled 22 yards to keep the drive going. Three plays later, Flowers completed a one-yard run for his third score of the game. On the Gamecocks’ final drive of the first half, Bentley went 5-for-6, including capping it with a three-yard score to Samuel. But USF answered, as Flowers hit Johnson for a 37-yard TD pass to make it 29-14 at the end of the first half. South Carolina scored on the first drive of the second half, with Samuel capping the drive with a four-yard run. Freshman running back Rico Dowdle had the biggest gain on the drive, running for 26 yards to get the ball into Bull territory. The Gamecock defense held the Bulls to a field goal after USF drove inside the Gamecock 5. But on the ensuing South Carolina possession, Fullwood intercepted a pass and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown, putting the Bulls’ lead to 39-21. With 22 seconds left in the third, Gamecock senior Elliott Fry hit a 43yard field goal to make it 39-24, starting the comeback bid by Carolina.

2014 INDEPENDENCE BOWL Carolina 24, Miami (Fla.) 21 December 27, 2014 Independence Stadium Shreveport, La. 38,242 SHREVEPORT, LA.— It would come down to the very last minute of the game, but the South Carolina Gamecocks (7-6) secured their 11th-straight season with a record of .500 or better thanks to a 24-21 win over Miami (6-7) in the Duck Commander Independence Bowl. A bend-but-don’t-break defense helped carry the Gamecocks through the early portion of the game while the offense was still finding its footing. Despite a pair of Miami drives that went deep into Carolina territory, the Hurricanes could only muster a pair of field goals after being stopped inside the ten yard line both times. It took a big play halfway through the second quarter to shake the offense from its slow start. On second down at its own 22, Dylan Thompson hit a wide-open Pharoh Cooper on a post route down the middle for the 78-yard touchdown to move the Gamecocks ahead 7-6 with just under eight minutes to play in the first half. The yardage in just that one play matched the offense’s total gains for the entire game up until that point, and tied for the longest pass play in the bowl’s history. The score broke the seal on the offense, which scored on the very next drive after the defense forced a three-and-out from Miami. Starting near midfield, Thompson spearheaded the scoring drive with a trio of difficult throws. After hooking up with Cooper for a 13-yard first down, he followed it up with a 35-yard strike to Damiere Byrd to get to the Hurricane five-yard line. A penalty pushed the Gamecocks back to the 15-yard line before Thompson rolled to his left and threw across his body to Mike Davis in the back of the end zone for a 14-6 lead. On the very next drive, a pass from Miami’s Brad Kaaya was tipped up in the air and intercepted by Jonathan Walton. The turnover would set up a 32-yard field goal from Elliott Fry and cap the team’s scoring for the half, a 17-6 lead. After struggling to stop Miami’s nationally renowned rushing offense in the first quarter, the Gamecocks defense learned quickly and held the opposition to just 44 yards in the second quarter after allowing 160 in just the first two drives of the game. The third quarter was largely controlled by Miami, who drew within a field goal of tying the game after an 11-play, 93-yard drive for a touchdown and a two-point conversion. The offensive momentum for Carolina would not carry over the break, as its first four drives of the second half would go for just 71 yards on 25 plays. The Gamecocks continued to be stymied offensively early on in the fourth quarter, before another game-changing moment would provide the difference. Carolina would punt the ball with seven minutes left in the game, still ahead 1714. On the drive’s second play, Miami’s Duke Johnson rushed to the right and was swarmed immediately. Gerald Dixon would emerge from the pile with the ball, but the game officials ruled that he was already down before the ball came out. After it was reviewed, however, it was decided that it was a fumble. On the ensuing possession, Thompson and Cooper would combine yet again for a big play, as the sophomore wide receiver went over the back of his defender on the under-thrown ball and hauled in the 25-yard strike to set up first-and-goal at the two yard line. On the very next play, Thompson would sell the read option fake and keep it for the touchdown, strikingly similar to his game-winner against Florida. Miami drove 72 yards in under two minutes for a touchdown to make it 24-21. With 2:16 still to play and needing to run out the clock, the Gamecocks turned to Davis to seal the win. He converted a third-and-one that would be the clincher, as it forced the Hurricanes to use their final two timeouts. In his final game in the Garnet and Black, Thompson would finish with 284 yards through the air and a pair of touchdowns to go with his rushing score. Cooper would bring in nine catches for 170 yards and earned offensive MVP honors for his efforts. Skai Moore earned defensive MVP honors.

2014 CAPITAL ONE BOWL Carolina 34, Wisconsin 24 January 1, 2014 Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium Orlando, Fla. 56,629 ORLANDO, FLA. — Behind five touchdowns from quarterback Connor Shaw, No. 8/8 South Carolina (11-2) claimed a 34-24 victory over No. 19/19 Wisconsin (9-4) in the 2014 Capital One Bowl. The Capital One Bowl MVP, Shaw accounted for 369 yards of offense, going 22for-25 in the air for 312 yards and 3 TDs while also running for 48 yards on 16 carries and a score. Shaw also caught a TD pass for 9 yards. Junior Bruce Ellington caught six passes for a career-best 139 yards and two touchdowns and threw for another, while sophomore Shaq Roland pulled in six passes for 112 yards, both career bests. The Gamecocks took the lead late in the third quarter behind the senior quarterback in his final game. Shaw found Ellington from 22 yards away to hand South Carolina a 20-17 advantage, but the duo had a much more pivotal play to keep the drive going. On 4th and 7, Ellington tipped the Shaw pass to himself before pulling it down and going out of bounds for a 22-yard gain and conversion. Shaw’s arm accounted for all but three yards of the series, completing six of seven pass attempts on the drive. South Carolina’s defense stepped up to start the fourth quarter to snuff out a Wisconsin drive. With 1 yard to gain, the Gamecocks twice stopped Melvin Gordon, who rushed for 143 yards in the contest, for no gain to turn the ball over on downs. The Gamecocks proceeded to drive 74 yards in six plays to take a 10-point lead. Shaw twice found Roland on the drive, the second time a 49-yard catch that saw Roland’s concentration as he brought in the catch among two defenders. It was tight end Jerell Adams who scored from 3 yards out for the Gamecocks, pulling down Shaw’s third TD pass. Wisconsin made it a one-score game again when Kenzel Doe found a seam and dashed 91 yards on the kickoff return, making it 27-24 in favor of the Gamecocks. On the next possession, however, Shaw drove South Carolina 88 yards for another score, wrapping the drive with Shaw’s 1-yard sneak. Another big pass from Shaw to Roland, a 33-yard reception, helped keep the drive alive. The Badgers, behind backup quarterback Curt Phillips, tried to answer on the next drive, but on 4th and 1 in the Gamecocks’ territory, the pass hit Jadeveon Clowney’s helmet and sophomore linebacker Kaiwan Lewis corralled it to end that drive. South Carolina gave the Badgers back the ball two plays later when Ethan Armstrong recovered the Gamecocks’ fumble. After the fumble recovery, Wisconsin drove inside the 20, but Gamecock freshman linebacker Skai Moore came up with his second interception of the day in the end zone to stop the Badger threat. After the Gamecocks punted the ball back to Wisconsin, the Badgers drove again deep into South Carolina territory, but Lewis picked up the fumble on the catch-and-pitch attempt. South Carolina took the initial lead after a Wisconsin turnover toward the end of the first quarter, when Moore picked off the pass from Badger starting quarterback Joel Stave. On the next play, Shaw hit Ellington for a 39-yard score. Wisconsin answered when Sam Arneson brought in the 1-yard pass from Stave on the tight end out, leveling the score at 7-7. The offensive duo of Shaw and Ellington handed South Carolina the lead again but in reverse from their normal. To cap the 12-play, 86-yard drive, Carolina called up a double-reverse, halfback pass, as Ellington took the second handoff before firing a strike to Shaw from 9 yards out to hand the Gamecocks a 13-7 lead after the PAT attempt failed. Wisconsin claimed the halftime lead when Stave found Jeff Duckworth for a 3-yard score and its PAT kick went through the uprights. The Badgers made it a 17-13 lead when Jack Russell hit a 35-yard field goal to end the Badgers’ first second-half drive. Shaw finished his Gamecock career in fourth on the career passing charts with 6,074 yards, while he holds the South Carolina record with 27 wins as a starting quarterback. The 312 passing yards ranks as the most during a single game in his senior season.

2013 OUTBACK BOWL Carolina 33, Michigan 28 January 1, 2013 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, Fla. 54,527 TAMPA, FLA. -- Dylan Thompson’s 32-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington with 11 seconds remaining lifted South Carolina (11-2) to a 33-28 victory over Michigan (8-5) to win the 2013 Outback Bowl. Trailing 28-27 with 3:29 remaining, Carolina made one final drive. Connor Shaw converted a 4th & 3 with a 6-yard slant pass to Ace Sanders and followed that up with completions of 6, 8 and 6, all to Sanders to earn two more first downs. Shaw left the game as he was nicked up, bringing Thompson in the game. Thompson moved the Gamecocks down to the Michigan 32-yardline with 20 seconds left where he unleashed a perfect strike to Ellington near the goal line. The Gamecock wide receiver made his way into the end zone to give the Gamecocks the win. The back and forth affair saw Shaw and Thompson deliver for Carolina. Shaw finished 18-for-26 for 224 yards in the air and a pair of TDs and added 96 yards rushing. Thompson was 7-for-10 for 117 yards and two scores. Sanders caught 9 passes for 92 yards with two touchdown receptions as well as a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown en route to MVP honors. The Gamecocks needed just three plays to find the end zone. Damiere Byrd got behind the Wolverine secondary and Shaw connected with him for a 56yard scoring strike to give the Gamecocks a 7-0 lead. Michigan trimmed the lead to 7-3 with a 39-yard field goal. After the Carolina defense pushed the Wolverines back to their own 9-yard line with a sack by Aldrick Fordham, Michigan punted to Sanders, who weaved his way 63 yards to the end zone, giving the Gamecocks a 14-3 advantage. The Wolverines answered with an 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive capped by a 5-yard pass from Devin Gardner to Drew Dileo. The Gamecocks regained their 11-point lead quickly with a four-play, 75yard touchdown drive. Thompson found Nick Jones across the middle for a 70-yard pass to set Carolina up at the Michigan 4. From there Thompson rolled right and found Sanders open in the end zone to give the Gamecocks a 21-10 lead with 10:54 left in the half. A 40-yard field goal by Gibbons closed the gap to 21-13 at the intermission. Michigan got a 52-yard field goal from Matt Wile, then went on a 10-play, 65-yard scoring drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Gardner to Jeremy Gallon to take a 22-21 heading into the final stanza. After a very questionable first down was awarded to the Wolverines, Jadeveon Clowney made a big defensive play. Clowney forced and recovered a fumble by tailback Vincent Smith giving the Gamecocks the ball on the Michigan 31-yardline. South Carolina quickly struck then as Shaw completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Sanders as the Gamecocks reclaimed a 27-22 lead. Michigan answered on its ensuing drive to take a 28-27 lead. An 11-play 64yard drive took up over four minutes on the clock and was capped by a 17-yard pass from Gardner to Gallon, his second touchdown reception of the game.

2012 CAPITAL ONE BOWL Carolina 30, Nebraska 13 January 2, 2012 Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium Orlando, Fla. 61,351 ORLANDO, FLA. – No. 10/9 South Carolina wrapped up one of the most successful seasons in school history with a 30-13 victory over No. 21/20 Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl. With the win, Carolina finishes the season 11-2, becoming the first team in school history to reach 11 wins. Junior receiver Alshon Jeffery played a key role in leading South Carolina to it’s record-setting win and made a little history of his own. Jeffery finished the day with four receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown on his way to earning bowl MVP honors. Gamecock quarterback Connor Shaw had a stellar end to his sophomore campaign, completing 11-of-17 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He added 42 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Junior running back Kenny Miles finished with 67 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and had two receptions for 13 yards and a score. The Gamecock defense delivered another solid performance, holding Nebraska to 253 yards of total offense with just 64 yards allowed in the second half. Carolina tied a season-high with six sacks on the day, including two from freshman Jadeveon Clowney and 1.5 from senior Melvin Ingram. Junior D.J. Swearinger and senior Antonio Allen led the way with seven tackles apiece. The Cornhuskers (9-4) struck first. On Nebraska’s third play from scrimmage, quarterback Taylor Martinez found Kenny Bell for a 30-yard touchdown strike. However, Travian Robertson blocked the extra point and Stephon Gilmore returned it for two points to make it a 6-2 game. Bruce Ellington gave Carolina excellent field position on the ensuing possession with a 45-yard kickoff return. A 24-yard run by Miles set up the Gamecocks deep in Nebraska territory. Shaw capped the drive on fourth and goal by punching it in from a yard out, giving Carolina a 9-6 advantage. Nebraska answered with an eight-play, 60-yard scoring drive, aided by a Carolina drive-extending penalty, to regain the lead. Ameer Abdullah finished off the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Cornhuskers a 13-9 lead. Both teams missed golden opportunities to score in the second quarter. Nebraska lost a fumble in the redzone, then Carolina came up empty after a 78yard pass to Jeffery set them up with a first-and-goal situation. Stephon Gilmore gave the Gamecocks one more chance to score before halftime by intercepting a Martinez pass at the Gamecock 26. With seven seconds until intermission from the Carolina 49, Shaw rolled right and heaved it downfield where Jeffery leaped over a defender, came down with the ball and dove into the end zone for a 16-13 lead heading into the locker room. The Gamecocks pushed their lead to 23-13 early in the fourth quarter with a five-play, 41-yard scoring drive. Shaw hooked up with Ace Sanders for a 23yard pass play on third and 18 to move the ball to the Nebraska 11. Two plays later, Shaw found a wide-open Miles for a 9-yard touchdown pass. Miles added a 3-yard touchdown run with 3:05 left for the final score.

2010 CHICK-FIL-A BOWL Florida State 26, Carolina 17 December 31, 2010 Georgia Dome Atlanta, Ga. 72,217 ATLANTA, GA.—EJ Manuel threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to stop a South Carolina rally and lead Florida State to a 26-17 victory over the Gamecocks in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Manuel took over after senior quarterback Christian Ponder left early in the second quarter with a concussion. The sophomore appears ready to assume the starting role next season. Manuel completed 11-of15 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown and had seven carries for 46 yards. He was 7-for-7 passing on the fourthquarter touchdown drive. Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals for the No. 23 Seminoles (10-4), who reached 10 victories for the first time since 2003. Hopkins tied his own school record for a bowl, and the four field goals also matched the Chick-fil-A Bowl record. No. 19 South Carolina (9-5), which was seeking its first 10-win season since 1984, lost star running back Marcus Lattimore when he was hit hard on the Gamecocks’ first drive. Coach Steve Spurrier’s team also committed five turnovers. “We had (414) yards,” Spurrier said. “It wasn’t a terrible offensive performance. It was just the turnovers that hurt us.” “Stephen struggled early and then he made some pretty decent throws in the second half,” Spurrier said. “It looked like we had a chance to get back in the game.” Garcia recovered to lead two long touchdown drives that trimmed Florida State’s lead to 19-17 before Manuel answered with the seven-yard scoring pass to Taiwan Easterling. “Man, I was so happy,” Manuel said. “We weren’t moving the ball like we wanted to. We weren’t getting touchdowns. We were getting field goals instead.” Florida State cornerback Greg Reid, whose hits caused the fumbles by Lattimore and Jeffery, deflected a fourth-down pass by Garcia with 3:23 remaining to end the Gamecocks’ last hope. Garcia completed 19 of 34 passes for 243 yards and also scored on a nifty play in the third. On a third-down play from the Florida State three, Garcia threw a screen pass to Ace Sanders, who threw back across the field to Garcia alone in the right side of the end zone. The Seminoles answered with Hopkins’ fourth field goal, from 45 yards, to push the lead to nine. Hopkins also kicked four field goals in the Seminoles’ Gator Bowl win over West Virginia. Garcia responded by leading a 79-yard drive, capped by Brian Maddox’s seven-yard TD run. Garcia helped set up the score with a 29-yard pass to Jeffery. Reid’s hit on Lattimore knocked the freshman out of the game with an injury announced as a cut to his mouth. Spurrier said after the game that Lattimore also had “a little bit of a concussion” and was taken to a hospital for stitches.

2010 PAPAJOHNS.COM BOWL Connecticut 20, Carolina 7 January 2, 2010 Legion Field Birmingham, Alabama 45,254 BIRMINGHAM, ALA. —Andre Dixon rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown and resilient Connecticut (8-5) ended a trying season with a 20-7 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks (7-6) in the Papajohns.com Bowl on Saturday. Dixon was the Most Valuable Player and joined teammate Jordan Todman as 1,000-yard rushers, the first time two UConn backs have surpassed that mark in the same season. Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia completed just 16 of 38 passes for 129 yards while gaining 56 yards on 15 carries. He lost a fumble, was intercepted once and didn’t get much help. An emotional Garcia called the Gamecocks’ performance “very disappointing.” He said they never got it going, “and it shows on the scoreboard.” UConn had a pristine performance, with zero penalties. Linebacker Lawrence Wilson called it “the most complete game we’ve played all year.” The Gamecocks avoided their first shutout in three seasons on Brian Maddox’s 2-yard touchdown run with 3:24 left. Their only other possession ending in UConn territory resulted in a botched field goal attempt. The Gamecocks’ effort was marred by dropped passes, a missed interception and costly penalties that kept a mostly garnet-and-black clad crowd subdued -- and steadily shrinking by the fourth quarter. Leading receiver Alshon Jeffery was held to three catches for 28 yards, all in the first half. Tailback Kenny Miles had just six carries for 24 yards. Dixon’s 10-yard touchdown with 13:12 left effectively put the game away. Jesse Simpson had set the Huskies up at the Gamecocks’ 29-yard line by forcing Garcia to fumble, knocking it away from behind at the end of a run. A South Carolina team that pounded Clemson with 58 runs in a win to finish the regular season finished with 26 rushes for 76 yards. UConn jumped ahead 13-0. Kashif Moore snagged the ball one-handed down the right sideline for a 37-yard touchdown catch from Zach Frazer in the first quarter. Dave Teggard then hit field goals of 33 and 44 yards. The first kick was set up when Garcia was stopped on a sneak on fourth-and-1 from South Carolina’s 32. South Carolina didn’t even manage its initial first down until midway through the second quarter, and that took Garcia converting a third-and-16. South Carolina’s sloppy play continued into the second half. Running into the kicker and roughing the passer calls helped UConn keep its first drive alive for more than seven minutes, though it ended with a fumble. Then, cornerback Akeem Auguste dropped an easy interception with nothing between him and the end zone.

2009 OUTBACK BOWL Iowa 31, Carolina 10 January 1, 2009 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, Florida 55,117 TAMPA, FLA. – Shonn Greene, the Big Ten’s most valuable player, rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns Thursday, helping the Hawkeyes trounce South Carolina 31-10 in the Outback Bowl. Greene ran for more than 100 yards in all 13 of Iowa’s games and scored in all but one. He finished with school single-season records of 1,850 yards and 20 TDs. Iowa (9-4) won for the sixth time in seven games since losing three straight to fall to 3-3. South Carolina (7-6) lost three straight down the stretch while being outscored 118-30. Greene scored on a pair of 1-yard runs to help Iowa build a 21-0 halftime lead, then added an 11-yarder to make it 31-0 late in the third quarter. South Carolina scored on Chris Smelley’s 10-yard TD pass to Jared Cook and Ryan Succop’s 48-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. After struggling offensively in lopsided losses to Florida and Clemson, Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier decided to start quarterback Stephen Garcia, a highly regarded redshirt freshman from Tampa who was the centerpiece of his recruiting class in 2007. But Garcia turned the ball over four times in the first half and was replaced by Smelley after going 9-for-18 for 79 yards and three interceptions. The 20-year-old’s homecoming turned sour in a hurry. His first pass was intercepted and returned 29 yards set up an Iowa touchdown, then the dualthreat quarterback fumbled on his first run to give the Gamecocks turnovers on two of their first four offensive plays. The next two South Carolina possessions ended with interceptions. After Bradley Fletcher picked off Garcia in the end zone, Iowa drove 80 yards to take a 21-0 lead on Greene’s second touchdown. Ricky Stanzi was intercepted twice before halftime, but neither mistake really hurt the Hawkeyes. Iowa was trying to turn’s Garcia’s third interception into a quick TD when South Carolina’s Chris Culliver made a leaping pick in the end zone. Smelley, who started nine games for South Carolina this season, replaced Garcia at the start of the second half. Moe Brown fumbled on the quarterback’s first completion to set up an Iowa field goal, but the Gamecocks did have some success moving the ball the rest of the game. Stanzi was 13-for-19 for 148 yards, including a 6-yard TD throw to Trey Stross on the first drive of the game. Smelley finished 16-of-31 for 174 yards and no interceptions.

2006 LIBERTY BOWL Carolina 44, Houston 36 December 29, 2006 Liberty Bowl Stadium Memphis, Tennessee 56,103 MEMPHIS, TENN. – Steve Spurrier’s offense was humming along in the first half, but the South Carolina defense was doing nothing to stop Houston. In the final 30 minutes, Spurrier’s Gamecocks got a little D to go with their O. Defensive end Jordin Lindsey came up with two turnovers for a defense that made the stops that mattered most, and South Carolina beat Houston 44-36 in the Liberty Bowl on Friday for its first bowl victory under Spurrier. Blake Mitchell tied a bowl record by throwing four touchdown passes, Cory Boyd ran for two more TDs as the Gamecocks (8-5) finished Spurrier’s second season with their best record since going 9-3 in 2001. Kevin Kolb, making his 50th start at quarterback for Houston (10-4) finished 26-of-39 for 386 yards and three touchdowns. Houston led 28-27 at the half - a Liberty Bowl record for points in a half - but South Carolina held the Cougars to 63 yards in the third quarter when the Gamecocks took control. They sacked Kolb three times, forced two turnovers and stopped the Cougars twice on fourth down in the fourth quarter. The Cougars and Gamecocks combined for 588 yards in the first half, much of it just before halftime. The second quarter took 61 minutes, and a game that was tied at 7 went haywire. In the final three minutes of the half, four TDs were scored in a span 12 plays - the last a 77-yard TD catch by Houston’s Vincent Marshall with 11 seconds left. The Cougars didn’t score in the second half until Jackie Battle ran in from 3 yards out with 5:42 left. The 2-point conversion cut South Carolina’s lead to 44-36. Houston outgained South Carolina 527-512, but the Cougars managed only 200 in the second half. With a pair of coaches known for their offensive ingenuity, this had a little of everything: four TDs in a span of 12 plays, a flea flicker for an interception, a punt on fourth-and-goal, a halfback pass and an option by Houston when backed up against its own goal line. Ryan Succop kicked a 45-yard field goal into winds gusting up to 20 mph on the Gamecocks’ opening drive of the second half to put South Carolina ahead to stay at 30-28. Mitchell padded the lead with a pair of 43-yard TD passes to Kenny McKinley, the last with 7:39 to go for a 44-28 lead. Mitchell, the game’s Most Valuable Player, was 19-of-29 for 323 yards. Houston ruined its best scoring chance on the drive after Succop’s kick. In the shotgun on third-and-goal at the 8, a bad snap went wide right of Kolb, who tried to chase down the ball and kicked it out of bounds for a penalty. That forced Houston to punt from midfield after having first-and-goal.

2005 INDEPENDENCE BOWL Missouri 38, Carolina 31 December 30, 2005 Independence Stadium Shreveport, Louisiana 41,332 SHREVEPORT, LA. – South Carolina’s game plan of keeping Brad Smith in check worked great - for a half, anyway. Then, the Missouri quarterback broke loose, rushing for three touchdowns - including a 1-yarder in the final minutes - and passing for another to rally the Tigers for a 38-31 victory in the Independence Bowl. Smith accounted for 431 yards of Missouri’s 504 yards as the Tigers staged their biggest comeback of the year. Missouri (6-6) trailed 21-0 after the first quarter as Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks dominated the first half. South Carolina (75) outgained Missouri 312 yards to 174 in the first half and held the football almost 11 minutes longer (20:02-9:58) Mizzou didn’t convert a third down until the final 58 seconds of the half. Smith completed 21 of 37 passes for 282 yards, with one touchdown and an interception. He passed for 200 or more yards for the 18th time. He also ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries. The Gamecocks needed less than 3 minutes to go 80 yards for their first score. Blake Mitchell’s 23-yard pass to Sidney Rice put Carolina up 7-0. Rice finished with 12 receptions for 191 yards. Tony Temple fumbled on Missouri’s first play and South Carolina’s Ricardo Hurley scooped up the ball. Four plays later Mike Davis, who ran for 125 yards on 18 carries, scored on a 5-yard run for a 14-0 lead. The Gamecocks’ third scoring drive covered 69 yards in 1:59. This time Mitchell, who completed 20 of 38 passes for 266 yards, hit Carson Askins with a 20-yard scoring pass to make it 21-0. Mitchell passed for two touchdowns, and was intercepted three times. Marcus King gave Missouri its first points, grabbing Mitchell’s pass at the goal line and returning it 99 yards to make it 21-7 in the second quarter. After Davis’ 2-yard TD run gave the Gamecocks a 28-7 lead, Missouri staged its first long drive of the game. The Tigers went 77 yards and Smith hit Chase Coffman with a 5-yard touchdown pass to make it 28-14 at halftime. Coffman finished with eight catches for 99 yards. Smith pulled Mizzou to 28-21 with a 31-yard run with 2:41 left in the third. Another apparent Missouri TD was nullified by a 15-yard penalty. Smith finally got the score on a 4-yard run that tied the score at 28 early in the fourth quarter. Crossett kicked a 50-yard field goal to put the Tigers up 31-28, but Josh Brown countered with a 30 yarder that tied it at 31-all. Then, with 2:13 remaining, Smith sealed the Missouri win with a 1-yard TD run.

2002 OUTBACK BOWL Carolina 31, Ohio State 28 January 1, 2002 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, Florida 66,249 TAMPA, FLA — With the score tied and no time left, South Carolina kicker Daniel Weaver knew his 42-yard field goal attempt wasn’t his best effort. So he put his faith in the wind. The kick barely cleared the crossbar, as No. 14 South Carolina survived with a 31-28 win over No. 22 Ohio State in the Outback Bowl. Steve Bellisari led Ohio State from a 28-0 deficit to tie the score. But he was intercepted by Sheldon Brown, whose return to Ohio State’s 29 with 23 seconds left set up Weaver’s first game-winning kick. Phil Petty, the game’s MVP, threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns, and Andrew Pinnock scored twice for South Carolina. But none of that mattered when Bellisari finally got the Buckeyes (7-5) going. He ran for a 2-yard score to close the third quarter, then hit Darrell Sanders with a 16-yard TD pass with 10:18 to go that cut the lead in half. Bellisari, who was 21-of-35 for 320 yards, then drove Ohio State to the South Carolina 18 but lost the snap. South Carolina linebacker Jeremiah Garrison recovered. On the next play, Derek Watson fumbled right back to Ohio State’s Mike Doss. Three plays later, Jonathan Wells’ 1-yard run made it 28-21. Ohio State got the ball back on its 11 with 3:56 to play. Bellisari went 6-of-6 for 86 yards, tying the game on Sanders’ 9-yard catch. Cie Grant gave the Buckeyes a chance for victory at the end, intercepting Petty with 1:12 left. A celebration penalty backed them up to their 18, but no one at Raymond James Stadium was doubting Bellisari. However, the long pass was picked off by Brown, whose twisting, cutback 37-yard return gave the Gamecocks hope. Much of the credit for South Carolina’s turnaround goes to Petty, an unspectacular yet efficient senior who has started the past three years. Petty had throws of 9 yards to Watson and 13 to Brian Scott that set up South Carolina’s first score, a 1-yarder by the beefy, 250-pound Pinnock. On the Gamecocks’ next drive, Petty passed to Scott for 30 yards and Pinnock for 9, ending things with Scott’s 7-yard grab over freshman safety Dustin Fox to lead 14-0 at the half. Petty started the third quarter with a 50-yard TD throw to Andrea Gause. Pinnock’s 10-yard run made it 28-0 before the fun began. Ohio State started strongly, forcing three first-quarter punts, including a bowl record 70-yarder by Tyeler Dean. But after Bellisari hit Sanders on a 17-yard pass that was Ohio State’s longest play at the time, defensive end George Gause stripped the ball to start the Gamecocks’ first touchdown drive.

2001 OUTBACK BOWL Carolina 24, Ohio State 7 January 1, 2001 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, Florida 65,229 TAMPA, FLA. — South Carolina capped off its amazing turnaround season with an impressive 24-7 win over Ohio State in the 2001 Outback Bowl. Claiming only the second bowl victory in the program’s history, the Gamecocks ended the season 8-4 and ranked No. 19 in the AP rankings and No. 21 in the USA Today/ESPN poll. Sophomore running back Ryan Brewer had a day to remember. The Troy, Ohio, native, who chose Carolina over his home-state university, dismantled the Buckeyes both on the ground and in the air. Brewer carried the ball 19 times, gaining 109 yards, and caught three passes for another 92 yards. The eventual game MVP was responsible for all of USC’s touchdowns, scoring on runs of seven and two yards and a 28-yard TD reception early in the fourth quarter that put the game out of reach. Also contributing on the offense for USC was quarterback Phil Petty. The junior was 9-of-19 for 175 yards and a touchdown. Jermale Kelly and Brian Scott each caught three passes. Defensively, the Gamecocks were led by linebacker Kenny Harney who had a total of eight tackles (six unassisted), with two of those going for a loss. True freshman Deandre’ Eiland contributed from his free safety position with two interceptions and tackles with three of them adding up to 17 yards of lost yardage for the Buckeyes.

BOW L GAME RECAPS
1995 CARQUEST BOWL Carolina 24, West Virginia 21 January 2, 1995 Joe Robbie Stadium Miami, Florida 50,833 MIAMI, FLA.— The Gamecocks defeated West Virginia 24-21 in the 1995 Carquest Bowl. South Carolina quarterback Steve Taneyhill threw for one touchdown, ran for another and was named the game’s MVP. Brandon Bennett rushed for 100 yards and fullback Stanley Pritchett scored the Gamecocks’ final TD with a 1-yard power run. The win was the first in nine bowl tries for South Carolina (7-5) and the fifth consecutive postseason loss for the Mountaineers (7-6). Mountaineers tailback Jimmy Gray fumbled on their opening play and six plays later Taneyhill hit Boomer Foster for a 2-yard TD. Quarterback Chad Johnston was driving West Virginia for a go-ahead score in the third quarter when the ball glanced off Lovett Purnell and was caught by cornerback Ben Washington. His twisting, juking, 42-yard return led to Pritchett’s score, and West Virginia couldn’t recover. Still, the Mountaineers trailed by three throughout the final period, twice giving the ball up on downs in the final six minutes. The Gamecocks had chances to extend the lead, but failed. They went on a 12-play drive that got to West Virginia’s 4, but Taneyhill was sacked and a field goal try was blocked. Pritchett went on a 28-yard run with 1:14 left and was headed for a score, but fumbled the ball and West Virginia took over on its 3. Johnston, though, was sacked for the sixth time and Carolina’s lead was safe. Up 10-7, Taneyhill ended a 14-play drive just before halftime with his second touchdown run of the season. The junior ducked between two defenders, faked a throw at the line of scrimmage and dived over the top for a 4-yard score. Reed Morton set a Carquest Bowl record with a 47-yard field goal, giving the Gamecocks a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. West Virginia tripped itself up several times in the first half. Brooks stopped Kantroy Barber for no gain on fourth-and-2 at the Gamecocks 23. After the Mountaineers recovered Monty Means’ fumble on South Carolina’s next drive, Vanterpool lost the ball at the end of a 25-yard completion on the next play. Another West Virginia sequence - this time an eight-play series - ended at South Carolina’s 29 when Brooks knocked away a fourth-down pass to Robert Walker in the end zone. Robert Walker gained 132 yards, including 62 during West Virginia’s only scoring drive of the first half. He bounced through the left side for a 24-yard touchdown run to make it 10-7.

1988 LIBERTY BOWL Indiana 34, Carolina 10 December 28, 1988 Liberty Bowl Stadium Memphis, Tennessee 39,210 M E M P H I S , TENN.—Dave Schnell passed for 378 yards and two touchdowns, including an 88-yard gamebreaking toss to Rob Turner, leading Indiana to a 34-10 Liberty Bowl victory over South Carolina. The victory capped an 8-3-1 season for Indiana. Carolina ended the year 8-4. The Gamecocks never have won a bowl game, dropping to 0-8 with the loss. Collin Mackie had kicked a 43-yard field goal for South Carolina, making it 20-10. But Schnell then put the game away on the first play of the fourth quarter. He spotted Turner behind the secondary and Turner pulled in the pass at the Gamecocks’ 40. He never was touched on the longest scoring pass in Liberty Bowl history. Indiana established its dominance on its first play from scrimmage as Anthony Thompson ignited an eight-play, 88-yard scoring drive with a 48yard run to the Gamecocks’ 40-yard line. Seven plays later, Thompson, who gained 63 yards on five carries during the drive and 140 yards in the game, scored from the 7. Cornerback Erick Coleman set up the Hoosiers’ next drive when he intercepted Todd Ellis at the Indiana 31 and brought the ball back to the Gamecocks’ 40. Schnell, who completed 16 of 31 passes and was named the game’s most valuable player, took Indiana to the 10-yard line in four plays before connecting with Cal Miller for the Hoosiers’ second touchdown. Miller, who was slashing across the middle of the defense, took Schnell’s pass at the 4 and sliced his way through two South Carolina defenders at the 1 for a 14-0 lead with 5:54 left in the half. The Hooisers turned another turnover into three points late in the half. Andre Hall halted a South Caroina drive at the Hoosiers’ 16 with an interception with 2:23 left in the half. Schnell and Tony Buford combined for a 46-yard pass play to the Gamecocks’ 38 on first down. Thompson broke free along the left sideline on the next play, but stepped out of bounds at the 12. The South Carolina defense then stiffened, and Peter Stoyanovich kicked a 28-yard field goal for a 17-0 lead at the half. South Carolina’s defense put the Gamecocks back in contention in the third quarter. Antonio Walker blocked a punt by Mackey Smith and Mike Tolbert picked it up and ran 34 yards for a score. Indiana drove 55 yards to the South Carolina 1 later in the quarter, but a mishandled snap by Schnell and an incomplete pass forced another field goal by Stoyanovich, from 19 yards, and a 20-7 lead.

1987 MAZDA GATOR BOWL LSU 30, Carolina 13 December 31, 1987 Gator Bowl Stadium Jacksonville, Florida 82,119 JAC KSO N VI L L E , FLA.—South Carolina’s blitzing defense backfired Thursday against seventh-ranked Louisiana State, which beat the Gamecocks 30-13 in the Gator Bowl. LSU quarterback Tom Hodson eluded the South Carolina rush and threw three touchdown passes to wide receiver Wendell Davis, who was able to get open against the Gamecocks’ one-onone coverage. Hodson completed 20 of 32 passes for 224 yards. Davis, LSU’s all-time leading receiver, caught nine passes for 132 yards. The touchdown receptions covered 39, 12 and 26 yards. David Browndyke booted field goals of 27, 18 and 23 yards to complete the LSU scoring. Hodson’s first two scoring passes to Davis came in the first five minutes of the game as the Tigers, who finished 10-1-1, jumped to an early 14-0 lead. Louisiana State opened a 27-6 lead before ninth-ranked Carolina, 8-4, scored its only touchdown on a 10-yard run by Harold Green at the start of the fourth quarter. South Carolina quarterback Todd Ellis, who broke a finger on his left hand in the second quarter, threw four interceptions and was sacked seven times for losses totaling 62 yards. Ellis completed 28 of 47 passes for 304 yards. The Tigers took a 7-0 lead when Davis caught a sideline pass and eluded three tacklers on the 39-yard scoring play. That scoring drive was set up when Clapp sacked Ellis for a 20-yard loss, forcing the Gamecocks to punt from their own 16. On South Carolina’s next offensive series, LSU’s Greg Jackson picked off an Ellis pass and returned it 48 yards to set up Hodson’s second scoring pass. Davis slipped behind South Carolina’s secondary to catch a perfectly thrown ball by Hodson into the corner of the end zone as the Tigers took a 14-0 lead with 9:59 left in the opening quarter. South Carolina took advantage of LSU’s first turnover, a fumble by Davis at his own 32, to set up a 44-yard field goal by Collin Mackie. Browndyke sandwiched field goals of 27 and 18 yards around a 39-yard field goal by Mackie in the second period as LSU took a 20-6 halftime lead The Tigers took a 27-6 lead when Davis pulled in Hodson’s 26-yard scoring pass to climax their opening drive of the second half. LSU’s defense not only forced five South Carolina turnovers, but limited the Gamecocks’ to 25 yards net rushing. Jackson picked off two Ellis passes, returning the interceptions for total of 92 yards. Although he wasn’t sacked, Hodson fumbled twice. Both fumbles were recovered by South Carolina noseguard Roy Hart. South Carolina has suffered four of its seven bowl losses in the Gator Bowl.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.—Tight end Barry Hanna, who had not scored all season, turned Rusty Hilger’s short pass into a dramatic 25-yard touchdown with 1:04 left to play, lifting ninthranked Oklahoma State (10-2) to a 21-14 Gator Bowl victory over No. 7 South Carolina. The bitter setback prevented South Carolina from winning for the first time in six bowl trips, although the Gamecocks, also 10-2, are the first team in the school’s history to win more than eight games in a season. Hanna caught Hilger’s pass at the Carolina 21, evaded a would-be tackler and was hit at the 8-yard-line, but dragged three defenders into the end zone. The winning touchdown capped an 88-yard drive in 11 plays, with Hilger completing six of eight passes for 75 yards, including a 13-yarder to Hanna on fourth-and-six from the South Carolina 49. Oklahoma State thoroughly dominated the first half and took a 13-0 lead on Thomas’ 1-yard run in the first period and his 6-yard pass to Hilger in the second quarter. But the Cowboys had to come from behind after South Carolina scored twice in the third period despite less than two minutes of possession time. The Gamecocks, whose offense was the nation’s ninth best during the regular season, were held to just 71 yards in the first two periods by State’s 8th-ranked defense and were shut out for the first time in any half this year. And even though they had the football for just 1:42 in the third quarter, they managed to take a 14-13 lead on halfback Quinton Lewis’ 24-yard pass to Chris Wade and a 57-yard bomb from quarterback Mike Hold to Ira Hillary. The first strike covered 71 yards in four plays and 56 seconds, while the latter was a two-play, 77-yard thrust that took only 40 seconds. The Gamecocks’ only other possession in the third period ended with a fumble on the first play, one of four South Carolina turnovers. Oklahoma State’s first-half touchdowns capped methodical, time-consuming drives of 69 and 74 yards. Thomas and Hilger produced all the yards as Oklahoma State took a 7-0 lead on its first possession. Thomas carried eight times for 40 yards, including an 18-yard burst to the 3, while Hilger completed all four pass attempts for 29 yards. Roach missed a 47-yard field goal attempt 1 1/2 minutes later, but the Cowboys made it 13-0 at 5:21 of the second period after linebacker Ricky Adams recovered a fumble by Hold at the OSU 26. The 15-play drive included a 20-yard back-hand shovel pass from Hilger to Thomas. On third-and-goal from the six, Hilger pitched right to Thomas, and the tailback lobbed the ball back to the left to Hilger, who scored easily.

1980 GATOR BOWL Pittsburgh 37, Carolina 9 December 29, 1980 Gator Bowl Stadium Jacksonville, Florida 72,287 JAC KSO N VI L L E , FLA.—South Carolina’s second trip to the prestigious Gator Bowl was not much better than the first trip — 34 years before. The Pitt Panthers, gunning for a national championship, poured it on the Gamecocks, 37-9. The game matched two nationally-ranked teams. Pitt came in with the #4 national ranking and South Carolina was ranked 17th. In addition, two of the nation’s best athletes, South Carolina’s George Rogers and Pitt’s Hugh Green, were showcased. Rogers, who rushed for 113 yards, had won the Heisman Trophy while Green, who recorded five tackles, was honored as the nation’s finest lineman with the Outland Trophy. An unusually cold evening with temperatures in the 40s and 15 mph winds greeted the teams and South Carolina didn’t react to the adverse conditions from the word go. Rogers broke open for a nice seven-yard gain on the first play, but fumbled with the Panthers recovering on the South Carolina 29 yard line. Seven plays and four minutes later Pitt scored to take a 7-0 lead, a lead they would not relinquish. South Carolina finally got on the scoreboard before the half on a 39-yard Eddie Leopard field goal. At the half Pittsburgh led 17-3 and led 34-3 by the end of the third quarter as turnovers and an inability to move the ball plagued the Gamecocks. Pat Bowen picked off a pass and returned it 31 yards to the 14-yard line with 3:34 left to play in the game. Quarterback Gordon Beckham then connected with Tim Gillespie for South Carolina’s lone touchdown.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. —The South Carolina Gamecocks fell short in a 24-14 loss to Missouri in the third annual Hall of Fame Bowl. South Carolina took the opening kickoff and behind the running of George Rogers and the passing and catching of Garry Harper and Zion McKinney, scored a 20-yard touchdown pass. Led by All-Big Eight quarterback Phil Bradley, the Tigers’ responded with a 22-yard field goal. Percey Reeves was hit and fumbled on the ensuing kickoff with the Tigers recovering on the 28. Bradley hit Newman with a scoring strike eight seconds later and USC was never to lead again. Missouri took over again and moved the ball 30 yards to go up 17-6 before halftime. The Gamecocks cut the deficit to 17-14, but MU answered for the final points. Bradley was named the game’s MVP while Rogers was tabbed as the Offensive Player of the Game after rushing for 133 yards on 25 carries.
ORLANDO, FLA.—Despite a brilliant individual effort by Jeff Grantz, South Carolina lost to Miami (Ohio), 20-7. Grantz passed for 228 yards, hitting on 18-of-29 passes. South Carolina took the opening kickoff and marched down the field on a well directed attack by Grantz only to miss a 26-yard field goal. A short punt set Miami up for its initial score, coming on a five-yard run by Carpenter after a 42-yard, seven-play drive. Carpenter scored on another run just prior to the half to give Miami a 14-0 lead and they ran that to 17-0 early in the third quarter. Grantz’s passing enabled Carolina to finally get on the scoreboard late in the third quarter. He passed for 60 yards during the 13-play, 73-yard drive. The score came on a three-yard Tom Amrein dive.

ATLANTA, GA.—South Carolina’s first bowl game in 24 years was a defensive battle with West Virginia posting a 14-3 win in the Peach Bowl. West Virginia scored on its first possession of the game. The Mountaineers marched 66 yards in 10 plays capped by Gresham’s 10-yard run to go up 7-0. Carolina threatened to score late in the first half. Tommy Suggs passed the team down the field and had a first-and-goal at the West Virginia 10 before a fumble thwarted the drive. But a West Virginia fumble of a punt set up a score just before the half and place kicker Bill DuPre booted through a 37yard kick to get on the board. After a scoreless third quarter, Carolina mounted one serious drive that was stalled by a pass interception. West Virginia scored with 23 seconds left in the game, thanks to another pass interception. Williams rushed for 208 yards on 35 tries to account to lead WVU.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.—Despite a record-breaking 90-yard pass interception return for a touchdown, the South Carolina Gamecocks fell to old nemesis Wake Forest, 26-14 in the inaugural Gator Bowl. This was the first bowl outing for the Gamecocks and the first and last season for coach Johnnie McMillan. He was filling in for coach Rex Enright who was completing his military obligation. Enright had a lot to do with the Game-cocks receiving the bid as he was stationed in the Jacksonville area. The game was a rematch of sorts since weeks before Carolina and Wake Forest had played to a 13-13 deadlock. But playing in 55 degree weather before a near capacity crowd did not serve well. Wake Forest jumped off to an early 6-0 first-quarter lead on a three-yard run by Nick Sacrinty. But the Gamecocks used the one-yard burst by Bobby Giles and a Dutch Brembs extra point to grab a 7-6 half time lead. Wake Forest regained the lead with a Dick Brinkley run and the kick was blocked to lead, 12-7. Brinkley scored another touchdown early in the fourth quarter and added a 25-yard Bob Smathers run to blow to a 26-7 lead. The only joy left for South Carolina in its first bowl appearance was the record-setting return by Brembs.

Ray Tanner University of South Carolina Athletics Director Ray Tanner is in his seventh year guiding the fortunes of the Gamecocks’ athletics programs. After a long and highly successful career as Carolina’s baseball coach, Tanner officially began his new duties on Aug. 2, 2012. Under Tanner’s watch, Gamecock studentathletes have achieved tremendous success in intercollegiate athletic competition, in the classroom and the community. In May 2017, Tanner was awarded a contract extension by the USC Board of Trustees, keeping him in the athletics director chair until 2022. In addition to his athletics director duties, Tanner accepted the role of student mentor on the South Carolina campus that was offered to him by President Harris Pastides. “When he does talk to the broader student body, he has huge respect. I am looking for someone who is impactful,” said Pastides. Gamecock student-athletes have led all schools in the SEC Academic Honor Roll, earning 1,066 recognitions in the last 12 reports (2014-18 / Fall, Winter, Spring, First-Year). Carolina student-athletes have earned a cumulative 3.0 grade point average or better in 23 consecutive semesters. In the last six academic years, the Gamecocks have won two national championships (2017 women’s basketball, 2015 equestrian), ten SEC regular season and tournament championships and two of the top five finished in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup All-Sports Standings in school history. In 2016-17, the Gamecocks placed 21st and followed that up in 2017-18 with a 26th place finish. For the third straight year, in 2017-18, Carolina also claimed the Certified SC Grown Palmetto Series, sponsored by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. The series consists of athletic, community service and academic points in head-to-head matchups against Clemson. The Gamecocks have had 26 teams finish in the Top 10 and 52 finish in the Top 25 during the last six years. Carolina student-athletes accomplished these academic and athletic feats while performing more than 7,100 hours of community service, leading the SEC yet again, last season by more than 3,000 hours. In September 2014, Tanner spearheaded the development of “The Gamecock Student-Athlete Promise,” a document that showcases the depth and breadth of the commitments the South Carolina Athletics Department has made to its student-athletes. As part of the document, USC became the first school in the SEC to guarantee four-year scholarships for all qualifying sports. It also offers former studentathletes the opportunity to return back to campus to complete their undergraduate degree as part of the “Gamecock Degree Completion Program.” Last year, as part of The Promise, the Gamecock athletics department launched “Beyond Sports,” a professional development and internship summer program for student-athletes, who wish to get “real world” experience in their field of study. As part of giving Gamecock student-athletes a “championship experience” at USC, the commitment to develop the finest facilities in the nation continues. Since taking on the athletics director role, every athletics program at USC has been the beneficiary of either a new or significantly upgraded practice or competition facility. These include such projects as Springs-Brooks Plaza and the Bignon Game Day Center, Jerri and Steve Spurrier Football Indoor Practice Facility, USC Soccer Complex, Wheeler Beach Volleyball facility, Carolina Softball Stadium, training rooms and weight rooms for basketball and volleyball, and locker rooms in Carolina Natatorium. Carolina hosted the 2017 SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships at the newly-renovated Cregger Track. Construction should be completed following the 2018 football season on a new $50 million football operations building, an indoor track facility and new locker rooms, player lounge and film room for the beach volleyball program. Tanner has negotiated contracts for Gamecock Athletics that have created additional exposure and revenue for the department. As part of a 10-year agreement with IMG, a new center-hung scoreboard and 360 degree LED ribbon board was added to Colonial Life Arena last summer.
South Carolina’s IMG marketing arrangement, finalized in 2016, was ranked as the 7th-largest in college athletics by the Portland Business Journal. The Gamecocks have a 10-year contract with Under Armour as its official outfitter, which was signed in 2016. The contract is one of the 10 largest in college athletics, ranked by Forbes magazine. Tanner completed his third year as a member of the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee serving as its chair. He is scheduled to be on the committee through the 2019 baseball season. A dedicated community leader whose charitable organization, The Ray Tanner Foundation, has made a difference in many South Carolina families, a three-time National Coach of the Year and Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, Tanner completed 16 years as head coach at the University of South Carolina, establishing one of the premier programs in college baseball prior to being named AD. He led the Garnet & Black to two NCAA Division I Baseball Championships, a pair of national runner-up finishes, six College World Series appearances, three SEC championships, six SEC Eastern division titles, a SEC tournament crown and 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Tanner gained valuable experience at an international level in his association with USA Baseball. He served five stints with Red, White and Blue, including in 2003 as head coach for the USA National Baseball Team. He was named the U.S. National Coach of the Year for his work that season. Tanner was named the South Carolina head coach June 14, 1996, after nine successful seasons as head coach at his alma mater, North Carolina State. Tanner has a bachelor’s degree in recreational administration from NC State (1980) and a master’s of public affairs, public administration (1983). Born Donald Ray Tanner, Jr., March 25, 1958, in Smithfield, NC, Tanner grew up in Benson, NC. He is married to the former Karen Donald, a native of Charleston, SC. The Tanners have two daughters, Bridgette Grace (“Gracie”) and Margaret Pearl (“Maggie”) and one son, Joseph Luke (“Luke”).

C OM PLI ANCE Attention Boosters
The University of South Carolina Office of Compliance Services is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that educates everyone about the importance of adhering to NCAA, SEC, and institutional rules. We strive to create a “compliance conscience� within the University and throughout the community. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics and furthers the mission of the University of South Carolina. The existence of a successful compliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, SEC, and institutional rules. What is Compliance?
At South Carolina, the Office of Compliance Services works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure South Carolina’s compliance with all applicable rules. In doing so, the compliance staff is charged with the following tasks: • Educating administrators, coaches, staff, prospects, student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, SEC, and institutional rules; • Developing monitoring systems to ensure compliance with these rules. These systems are designed to monitor rules pertaining to recruiting, academic eligibility, financial aid, awards, extra benefits, ethical conduct, amateurism, agents, employment, occasional meals, and the playing and practice seasons for each sport; and • Investigating and reporting violations of NCAA, SEC, and institutional rules to the appropriate governing authority.
Are You a Booster?
40. ÇŤ!*!Ăź0/
You are a booster if you are or ever have: • Been a member of a booster organization that supports University of South Carolina athletics; • Made any financial contributions to any area the University of South Carolina; • Made any annual or lifetime membership commitment to a booster organization; • Been involved with the recruitment of a prospect; • Provided benefits to an enrolled student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends; • Been involved in promoting South Carolina’s athletic program; • Provided or helped to arrange employment for student-athletes; • Been a season ticket holder. Prospective Student-Athletes
A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has: • Started classes for the ninth grade, or • Ever received any financial assistance or other benefit prospective students do not generally receive. An individual remains a prospect until one of the following occurs (whichever is earlier): • The individual officially registers and enrolls in a minimum full-time program of studies and attends classes in any term (including summer) of a four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year. • The individual participates in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term. Remember a prospect remains a prospect even after signing a National Letter of Intent with the University of South Carolina.
A recruiting inducement or extra benefit is any special arrangement by a University of South Carolina employee or booster to provide a prospect, a student-athlete, or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible extra benefits include, but are not limited to: • Free or reduced cost services, rentals, or purchases of any type (e.g., meals, drinks, clothing, laundry, haircuts, legal fees, tattoos, car repairs, free upgrades on products or services, etc.) • Gifts of any kind, including special occasions (birthdays, holidays, graduation, etc.) • VIP access to bars, clubs, events, etc. • Free or reduced cost housing for any length of time • Loans (including co-signing) • Cash or like items • Use of an automobile or transportation • An employment arrangement for a prospect or student-athlete’s relatives • Entertainment • Use of your telephone or credit card • Providing a meal in your home • Academic assistance of any kind (e.g., tutoring, editing papers/projects, assistance in completing classwork, use of computer, etc.) • Any tangible items, including merchandise What are the Consequences?
South Carolina is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, a student-athlete, or their relatives or friends, South Carolina may be subject to penalties, even if the student-athlete has completed his or her eligibility. The prospect or student-athlete who accepts an impermissible benefit jeopardizes his or her eligibility for intercollegiate competition. A booster who provides an impermissible benefit may be disassociated from the University’s athletics program. Disassociation results in a loss of all benefits or privileges offered by the department of athletics and may involve other penalties as appropriate. GOT QUESTIONS? ASK COMPLIANCE.

MEDIA POLICIES The University of South Carolina understands the importance of assisting the media in providing coverage of the institution, its athletics programs, administrators, coaches and student-athletes. Our goal is to disseminate information as widely, uniformly and fairly as possible using normally accepted media standards. To this end, the best attempt will be made to fill reasonable requests by recognized media outlets. Members of the media are encouraged to work with the South Carolina Athletics Communications and Public Relations staff to assist in that endeavor. It is not permissible for media members to contact any athletics department administrator, associate, coach or student-athlete directly without working through the communications department.

Note: Credentials will be considered only for those media members on specific assignment for a specific media outlet that meets the criteria below. Credentials are non-transferable and may be revoked at any time. The granting and number of credentials for daily NEWSPAPERS will be based on the newspaper’s circulation on a space available basis.

No credentials will be issued to any website that is not deemed by the Athletics Communications department to have adequate editorial oversight. Credentials will not be approved to anyone who writes or posts under an alias. TELEVISION stations will be issued a maximum of two (2) season approved press box credentials.

In addition, one (1) press box credential will be distributed per station for the sports director. Field passes will not be issued to radio stations. Non-daily local radio sports shows and out-of-market radio stations that have a daily sports show will be granted a maximum one (1) credential on a game-by-game space available basis. STUDENT MEDIA outlets for the home and visiting schools will be issued credentials in accordance with the policy for their format (newspaper, website, radio, television). To be considered student media, the outlet must be sanctioned as such by the university, have fulltime university staff overseeing the training of staff or be governed by a university-appointed board, and receive some portion of its funding from student fees. PHOTO WIRE SERVICES that distribute nationally and retain all rights for sale and usage of any image taken at the event will be issued one (1) season field pass with an option for a second on a game-by-game, space-available basis. Any wire service that sells/shares its images for non-editorial uses must provide the University of South Carolina Athletics Communications and Public Relations department with a statement indicating how it ensures that non-editorial clients use its images within NCAA regulations.
All other credential requests, including weekly newspapers, magazines, specialty publications, etc. will be considered on a game-by-game and case-by-case basis at the discretion of Steve Fink, Assistant AD/ Communications.

Photo credentials will be issued only to accredited media outlets prior to the game and photo identification must be provided. 2.

Wired and wireless internet are available. While security in this area is provided, the University of South Carolina is not responsible for the loss of any items. 6. According to NCAA policies, the presence of any type of photographer/videographer in the bench area for all sports is strictly prohibited with the exception of one (1) institutional videographer in the football bench area. According to the NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations Manual (Rule 1, Section 2, Article 4b): “the team area shall be limited to squad members in full uniform and a maximum of 60 other individuals directly involved in the game.

SEC Internet Real Time Policy By acceptance and use of an SEC media credential, the holder agrees to the following conditions for any and all athletic events hosted by the SEC and its member institutions:
194
SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL 2018
M E D IA PO L I CI E S 1. The SEC and its member institutions grant a media organization a limited license to use certain gathered information on the media organization’s own Internet or online site beginning at the start of an athletic event and up to the conclusion of such event, all subject to the following limitations and conditions: (a) No more than 10 still photographs may be used for news coverage of the game and other editorial purposes during the event. (b) Videotape may only be shown as part of a single, non-archived, online "simulcast" of a television station's regularly-scheduled news program. (c) While a game is in progress, the use of statistical information is time-delayed and limited in amount so that an organization’s Internet or online game coverage does not undercut the authorized and rights-paying fee organization’s rights to play-by-play accounts of the game and/or exclusivity as to such rights. 2. Any proposed media use on an Internet or online site of the game information that is more detailed and/or more than described above will require separate written authorization by the SEC and/or its member institutions. However, such written authorization will not permit the use of game information in entertainment contexts and will not authorize game coverage that, due to immediacy of detail, constitutes or approaches a play-by-play account of a game. 3. Should any of these conditions be breached, the SEC and/or its member institutions will issue a written warning for the first violation. If this violation occurs during the last game of the institutions’ regularly scheduled season, the media organization may not be credentialed for the SEC Championship. A second violation of this policy will result in revocation of credentials to cover future football games hosted by the SEC and/or its member institutions. Press Box South Carolina’s press box has seats for 144 members of the media, along with television and radio booths, coaches’ booths and public address and stadium operations/security booths. Located just above the press level is the photo deck. All members of the media covering the game are invited to a catered meal, which is served beginning two hours prior to kickoff.

GAMECOCK RADIO NETWORK Gamecock Sports Marketing, a partnership between the University of South Carolina Athletics Department and the country's leaders in the collegiate sports marketing industry, IMG College, is the originating medium for radio coverage of the South Carolina Gamecocks. 2018 is the second year of a 10-year agreement between the University and IMG College that runs through 2026. The extension adds to an agreement between the University of South Carolina and IMG that dates back to 2003. 2018 also marks the second year of a five-year extension with Cumulus Media for WNKTFM (107.5 The Game) to continue as the official flagship station of Gamecock Athletics through 2022. Gamecock Sports Marketing is responsible for the overall management of the athletics program’s corporate partnership effort, which includes producing, selling and distributing the Gamecock Radio Network (live play-by-play and call-in shows) and coaches television shows, print advertising in various athletics department publications, and selected signage in university athletic facilities. The Gamecock Sports Network from IMG College counts two dozen affiliate stations for the 2018-19 season. For Sirius/XM subscribers, follow the Gamecock Radio Twitter page for weekly updates on channel information for Gamecock broadcasts. Todd Ellis, the all-time leading passer in Gamecock history, begins his 27th season with the network and his 16th as the play-by-play voice of Carolina football. Ellis previously served as sideline reporter for the radio network and as a color analyst and play-by-play announcer for Comcast Sports Southeast for Gamecock telecasts. Ellis has also hosted the coaches television show and served on CBS’s bowl game radio coverage. He hosts the Will Muschamp Television Show and Carolina Calls with Will Muschamp, the Coach's weekly radio call-in show. Ellis set more than 20 school passing marks during his career (1986-89) while throwing for 9,953 yards. Tommy Suggs, a former standout Gamecock quarterback, is back for his 46th year as color analyst for the radio network. Suggs played for Carolina from 1968-70 and is regarded as one of the school’s all-time premier signalcallers. He led the Gamecocks to the 1969 ACC championship and Peach Bowl berth and was named MVP of the 1970 Blue-Gray All-Star Classic. Suggs was inducted into the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989 and is also a member of the state of South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2012, friends and colleagues of Tommy and Jane Suggs established the Tommy Suggs Endowed Quarterback Scholarship to honor his long-time commitment to the University and Gamecock Athletics.

W ILLIA M S- BR I CE STAD I U M Williams-Brice Stadium, formerly Carolina Stadium, was first constructed in 1934 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Then, it seated 17,600 Gamecock fans. It has undergone a number of expansions and revisions over the years, with the largest prior to the 1982 expansion coming in 1971-1972. A bequest from the estate of Mrs. Martha Williams-Brice helped boost the capacity then from slightly more than 43,000 to greater than 54,000. Mrs. Williams-Brice’s husband, Thomas H. Brice, was a Gamecock football letterman from 1922-24, and her family operated the Williams Furniture Company in Sumter. She left a substantial inheritance from the furniture fortune to her nephews, Thomas W. and Philip L. Edwards, much of which they passed on to the University of South Carolina. That included a bequest for the stadium project. The name was officially changed from Carolina Stadium to Williams-Brice Stadium in dedication ceremonies during the Sept. 9, 1972 opener with Virginia. Added in 2012 was a $6.5 million state-of-the-art videoboard that sits above the north stands. It measures 36’ x 124’. In 2015, the $14.5 million Springs Brooks Plaza transformed the entire circumference of Williams-Brice Stadium into an aesthetically pleasing walkway with the look and feel similar to the majestic Gamecock Park.
Williams-Brice Stadium Facts • First game as Carolina Stadium: Oct. 6, 1934 (USC 22, VMI 6) • Dedicated as Williams-Brice Stadium: Sept. 9, 1972 (UVA 24, USC 16) • Capacity: 80,250 • Stadium Record: 293-189-14 (.605) • When the Gamecocks take the field on gameday, Williams-Brice Stadium is packed with 80,000+ screaming Gamecock fans, making it more populated than all but three cities in the state of South Carolina. • Williams-Brice Stadium is recognized as one of the finest facilities in all of college football. Carolina annually ranks among the nation’s leaders in attendance, and Gamecock fans are regarded as some of the most loyal in the country. • South Carolina established a school record for football season tickets sold in 2005, selling 62,604 season tickets, surpassing the previous mark of 62,103 set in 2002. The numbers do not include student tickets and tickets contractually obligated to visiting teams. • South Carolina ranked 16th in the nation in attendance in 2017, averaging 78,586 fans for seven games at Williams-Brice Stadium.

G A MEC OCK TRADIT IONS Nickname: The Fighting Gamecocks
The Cockaboose Railroad
The University of South Carolina is the only major college athletic program in the country that uses “Fighting Gamecocks” as its official nickname and mascot. The University’s athletic teams have been known as Gamecocks for over 100 years. At the turn of the 20th century, after struggling for more than decade under numerous nicknames, the school’s football team was the impetus of the new moniker. In 1903, Columbia’s morning newspaper, The State, shortened the name to one word and Carolina teams have been Gamecocks ever since. Those early teams must have been a feisty and spirited group. A gamecock, of course, is a fighting rooster known for its spirit and courage. A cock fight, which was a popular sport throughout the United States in the 19th century, would last until the death of one of the combatants. Cock fighting has been outlawed by most states for humanitarian reasons, but it is still held surreptitiously in many areas. The State of South Carolina has long been closely connected with the breeding and training of fighting gamecocks. General Thomas Sumter, famed guerrilla fighter of the Revolutionary War, was known as “The Fighting Gamecock.”
What is perhaps the most unique form of tailgating and featured throughout the years in numerous magazines and television shows, the Cockaboose Railroad has made its way to Columbia and University of South Carolina football. Twenty-two cabooses line a railroad track just outside of WilliamsBrice Stadium - but these rail cars don’t move and they certainly aren’t something you would see passing by on the rear end of a train. Several years ago, a local businessman and his wife finally had enough of the railroad tracks which sit just a stone’s throw from the south side of the stadium. In 1990, the beautifully-designed Cockaboose Railroad began catering to the serious Gamecock tailgater with amenities never before associated with in tailgating: running water, cable television, air conditioning, and heating, and a living room highlight each and every Cockaboose. The Carolina Cockabooses are stationary and many are wired with closedcircuit television to watch Gamecock away games if making the trip is not feasible. The Cockaboose Railroad - it’s different, it’s unique, and it’s exciting; and there’s nothing else like it in the nation.
The South Carolina Mascot
The Gamecock mascot, “Cocky,” is a familiar sight at a variety of South Carolina athletic events. He appears at all home and road football and basketball games, and at home baseball games. In addition he can be found frequenting other Olympic sports events on the Columbia campus. Cocky was chosen National Mascot of the Year in 1986, 1994, and 2004 and is recognized as one of the most colorful mascots in collegiate sports. In 1981, and 1982, the Gamecocks participated in the College Baseball World Series and “Cocky” was selected both years as the official mascot of the CWS. “2001”
The University of South Carolina Gamecocks feature perhaps the most unique and electrifying pregame entry in all of college football. In fact, Sporting News rated USC’s “2001” as the most exciting pregame entry in all of college football. As the minutes wind down on the game clock prior to the opening kickoff, the Gamecocks leave the locker room following final pregame instruction from their coaching staff and assemble in the tunnel in the southwest corner of Williams-Brice Stadium. Then, as the crowd of more than 80,000 begins its roar of anticipation, the first notes of the theme song from “2001-A Space Odyssey” blare over the stadium sound system. As the music continues, the enthusiasm of the crowd is feverish. Finally, at just the exact moment, in perfect coordination with the music, the Gamecocks hit the field running, and the stadium goes wild. Gamecock Walk
Approximately two hours and 20 minutes prior to every home game, the Carolina team buses drop the players off on the Garnet Way in Gamecock Park. Through a throng of Gamecock fans and well-wishers along with the Carolina Marching Band, the team walks on the Garnet Way, crosses Bluff Road and the stadium tarmac and heads to the locker room, located in the southwest corner of Williams-Brice Stadium, to prepare for the game ahead. School Colors
Garnet and Black were adopted near the turn of the century as the official colors of the University of South Carolina athletic teams. The colors are the dominant ones on the gamecock, which is the University’s official mascot for its athletic teams. 200

Alma Mater: “We Hail Thee Carolina”
We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise; With loyal devotion, remembering the days; When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be: Here’s a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Since pilgrims of learning, we entered thy walls; And found dearest comrades in thy classic halls; We’ve honored and loved thee as sons faithfully: Here’s a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Generations of sons have rejoiced to proclaim; Thy watchword of service, thy beauty and fame; For ages to come shall their rallying cry be: Here’s a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Fair shrine of high honor and truth, thou shalt still; Blaze forth as a beacon, thy mission fulfill; And crowned by all hearts in a new jubilee: Here’s a health, Carolina, forever to thee! Fight Song: “The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the Way”
Hey, Let’s give a cheer, Carolina is here, The Fighting Gamecocks lead the way. Who gives a care, If the going gets tough, And when it is rough, that’s when the ‘Cocks get going. Hail to our colors of garnet and black, In Carolina pride have we. So, Go Gamecocks Go - FIGHT! Drive for the goal - FIGHT! USC will win today - GO COCKS! So, let’s give a cheer, Carolina is here. The Fighting Gamecocks All The Way!
