SPRING OUTLOOKWith spring in the air, it’s time to turn the page on South Carolina Foot-

ball. The squad looks to put the disappointing 2019 season in its collec-tive rearview mirror and begin preparations for 2020 and another gauntlet, known as SEC Football.

After a 4-8 campaign, change was inevitable, and fifth-year head coach Will Muschamp has aggressively addressed that in the off-season, revamp-ing much of his coaching staff. Only three coaches, offensive line coach Eric Wolford, outside linebackers coach Mike Peterson and defensive coordina-tor/defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson, will return in the same roles as a season ago.

The biggest changes will occur on the offensive side of the ball, where Coach Muschamp has brought in former Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo to coordinate the attack and mentor the quarterbacks. Bobo has a long track record of success in the SEC and will use the spring to implement his vernacular and system. Bobo brought Joe Cox along with him from Fort Collins. Cox, who is originally from Charlotte, played at Georgia, and con-sidered an up-and-comer in the profession, will be in charge of the Game-cock tight ends. Bobby Bentley shifts back to direct the running backs, a position he held from 2016-18, before becoming the tight ends coach a year ago. Bryan McClendon returns as the wide receivers coach.

On the defensive side, veteran SEC legend Tracy Rocker joins the staff as the defensive line coach, while former Gamecock captain Rod Wilson returns to Columbia as the linebackers coach. Wilson, a Cross, S.C. native who captained the 2004 Gamecocks, was most recently with the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.

The Gamecocks also had a changing of the guard with their special teams units, as Kyle Krantz, who served as an assistant in that area for the past two years, takes over as the coordinator. Krantz will continue to assist with the Carolina secondary as well.

Coach Muschamp also made changes in some off-the-field positions, the most notable coming in the weight room, where an entirely new staff, under the direction of Paul Jackson, has taken over. Jackson, who most recently worked at Ole Miss, will be joined by Scott Salwasser, Anthony Hender-son, Julian Whitehead and Jordan Sims. Drew Hughes re-unites with Coach Muschamp as the Director of Player Personnel. The two previously worked together for a year at Florida. Gamecock Great Connor Shaw re-turns to Columbia as the Director of Football Student-Athlete Development.

On the field, the Gamecocks return 45 letterwinners, including 13 start-ers, six on both sides of the ball, along with their placekicker from 2019. Carolina returns just 20 percent of its rushing yards, 95 percent of its passing yards and 43 percent of its receiving yards, along with six of its top eight tacklers from a year ago.

Although it would be hard to match the difficulty of last year’s regular-season schedule, which proved to be the nation’s toughest, another challeng-ing slate awaits the Gamecocks in 2020.

The season kicks off with a home game against in-state rival Coastal Caro-lina on Saturday, Sept. 5. The Gamecocks will host East Carolina the follow-ing week, giving them two non-conference home games to open the season for the first time since 2003. The season-opening three-game homestand concludes on Sept. 19 when Carolina hosts Missouri in the SEC lid-lifter. The Mizzou contest also begins a stretch of eight-consecutive SEC contests for the Gamecocks.

The Gamecocks head out on the road for the first time in the 2020 cam-paign with a pair of SEC contests at Kentucky on Sept. 26 and at Florida on Oct. 3. Carolina returns home on Oct. 10 to host Tennessee then, after the lone off week of the season, plays host to Texas A&M, before wrapping up the month of October at Vanderbilt on Halloween.

No one in the country will have a tougher November slate than South Carolina, as the Gamecocks will face three teams that finished in the top four in the final 2019 national polls. First up is a Nov. 7 date with the Geor-gia Bulldogs. The Dawgs will be looking for revenge after Carolina upset the third-ranked team in the country in Athens a year ago. The Gamecocks will travel to Baton Rouge and Death Valley to face the defending national champion LSU Tigers on Nov. 14. The FCS Wofford Terriers will provide the competition in the home finale on Nov. 21, while the 2020 regular sea-son comes to a close in Clemson’s Memorial Stadium on Nov. 28 when the Gamecocks and Tigers renew their series for the 118th time.

New offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was brought in to reinvigorate an offense that strug-gled to put points on the board a season ago. Six starters return including four offensive linemen in left tackle Sadarius Hutcher-son, left guard Jordan Rhodes, right guard Jovaughn Gwyn and right tackle Dylan Wonnum. While on paper the center position is the only open spot heading into the spring, offensive line coach Eric Wolford has recruited well and will look to get his best five on the field. Sophomore quarterback Ryan Hilinski returns as the front-runner to direct the offense. He gained valuable experience a year ago after being forced into unexpected early duty follow-ing a season-ending injury to Jake Bentley, and looks to take the next step in his development. The running back room has undergone a massive overhaul following the graduation of Rico Dowdle, Tavien Feaster and Mon Denson and the competition will be fierce this spring. Competition at tight end is open as well following the graduation and Kyle Markway and a knee injury to Nick Muse, which will keep him sidelined this spring. Junior Shi Smith is a returning starter at wide receiver and figures to hold one of those positions, but there are plenty of open slots in the receiving corps for someone to step up as the Gamecocks look to replace the school’s all-time leading receiver in Bryan Edwards.

The Gamecock defense will have a different look in 2020, especially along the defensive line, where the losses of All-American Javon Kinlaw, stand-out Buck D.J. Wonnum, and glue-guy Kobe Smith will be felt. The lone returnee up front is Aaron Sterling, who is coming off a season in which he logged 10.0 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks. However, 2018 starter Keir Thomas returns after being sidelined for much of the 2019 season and Coach Muschamp and his staff have recruited well with several talented play-ers ready to fill those big shoes, including 2019 SEC All-Freshman selection Zacch Pickens. The Gamecocks will miss the leadership of three-year starter T.J. Brunson at linebacker, but leading tackler Ernest Jones and Sherrod Greene, who came on strong as the season progressed last year, are two re-turning starters at the position. The Gamecocks are blessed with a pair of re-turning starters at cornerback in Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu, whom some believe are as good of tandem as any in the country. R.J. Roderick is a returning starter at safety, while Jammie Robinson was a Freshman All-SEC selection at nickel and could play safety as well.

Kyle Krantz takes over as the Gamecocks’ special teams coor-dinator. Many of the key posi-tions are wide open entering the spring. One that is not is at placekicker, which is in the ca-pable hands (and foot) of senior Parker White. White has im-proved each season and is almost automatic from inside 40 yards. Krantz has a huge hole to fill at punter following the graduation of school record-holder Joseph Charlton. Those duties may not be decided until the fall. That may be the case as well at long snapper, holder, kickoff specialist and punt returner, where the Gamecocks graduated Max Oliveira, Joseph Charlton, Will Tom-mie and Bryan Edwards, respectively. Shi Smith and Xavier Legette both have experience at kickoff return and figure to get the first shot there.

THE HISTORY: 2020 will mark the 127th sea-son of intercollegiate football at the University of South Carolina, dating back to 1892. It is the 114th-consecutive year in which South Carolina has competed on the gridiron. The University did not field a team in either 1893 or 1906. Carolina owns an all-time record of 612-587-44, a .510 winning percentage.

IT JUST MEANS MORE: The 2020 season will mark South Carolina’s 29th year in the South-eastern 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 97-126-1 (.435) all-time in SEC regular-season play, but posted a 42-38 (.525) record in conference action in the last decade.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY: The 2020 season will mark the 10th anniversary of the 2010 squad that captured the SEC Eastern Division title and went on to appear in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta against eventual national champion Au-burn. It’s the Gamecocks only division title since joining the SEC.

2019 IN REVIEW: South Carolina concluded its 126th season of intercollegiate football in 2019 with a record of 4-8, including a 3-5 mark in the SEC. The highlight of the season was a 20-17 double-overtime win at Georgia, a team that finished fourth in the final Associated Press poll. Four of the Gamecocks’ eight losses were to teams that finished the season in the top-20 in the A.P.’s final poll, including No. 2 Clemson, No. 6 Flori-da, No. 8 Alabama and No. 19 Appalachian State.

BEATING THE BEST: The Gamecocks’ double-overtime win at Georgia matched the second-best win in school history, based on the AP rankings, topped only by the 2010 win over No. 1 Alabama. Six of Carolina’s top eight wins have come since 2009:No. Date Opponent AP Rank Score 1. 10/09/10 vs Alabama 1 35-21 2. 10/24/81 at North Carolina 3 31-13 10/12/19 at Georgia 3 20-17 4. 09/24/09 vs Ole Miss 4 16-10 5. 10/06/12 vs Georgia 5 35-7 10/26/13 at Missouri 5 27-24 7. 09/24/88 vs Georgia 6 23-10 09/13/14 vs Georgia 6 38-35 9. 10/04/07 vs Kentucky 8 38-23 11/21/87 vs Clemson 8 20-7 11/14/53 at West Virginia 8 20-14

NO EXCUSES, BUT THAT WAS TOUGH: The Gamecocks faced the nation’s toughest sched-ule during the 2019 season. Gamecock opponents averaged 8.9 wins, the high-water mark for any school in 2019, and all nine of their opponents that appeared in bowl games, won a bowl game. South Carolina’s Division I opponents combined for a 101-44 record, a .697 winning percentage. Using the NCAA formula, the Gamecocks (99-46, .683) faced the toughest schedule in the coun-try, just ahead of Auburn (107-50, .682).

WHERE THERE’S A WILL: Will Muschamp has posted a 26-25 record in his first four seasons as the Gamecocks’ head football coach. His .510 winning percentage is exactly the same as that of the University through its first 126 years of in-tercollegiate football. The 26 wins ranks him in a tie for ninth on the school’s all-time list with Sol Metzger, while his 51 games coached ranks 10th

2020 SOUTH CAROLINA SPRING FOOTBALL GUIDE14

HEAD COACH WILL MUSCHAMP

Will Muschamp begins his fifth season directing the Gamecocks’ foot-ball fortunes in 2020. Muschamp was introduced as the University of South Carolina’s 34th head football coach on December 7, 2015.

Coach Muschamp owns a 26-25 mark in four seasons in Columbia. He recorded more wins in his first three seasons (22) than any coach in school history. He was also the first head coach to take the Gamecocks to bowl games in each of his first three seasons.

In his first season in Columbia, Muschamp guided the Gamecocks to a 6-7 mark and a spot in the Birming-ham Bowl. The Gamecocks doubled their win total from the previous sea-son 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 pass-ing (Jake Bentley) and rushing (Rico Dowdle). Seventy-six of the Game-cocks’ 113-man Birmingham Bowl roster (67.3 percent) were either fresh-men 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 his-tory, was the only Power 5 school to have a multiple win total increase in 2016 and 2017, finished second in the SEC East and earned a second-straight bowl appearance. The season culmi-nated with an Outback Bowl victory over Michigan on New Year’s Day.

Muschamp’s third squad posted a 7-6 campaign and a third-straight bowl appearance despite being deci-mated by injuries on the defensive side of the ball. The return of Deebo Sam-uel, who earned All-America recogni-tion, sparked an offense that logged five games of 500 or more yards.

In his fourth year, the Gamecocks slipped to 4-8, but the season was highlighted by an overtime win over third-ranked Georgia, the eventual SEC Eastern Division champion.

Regarded as an outstanding defen-sive mind, Muschamp is a 25-year coaching veteran, including 17 years in the Southeastern Conference. In eight seasons as a head coach, all in the SEC, Muschamp owns a 54-46 record, a .540 winning percentage.

His previous head coaching experi-ence 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 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 na-tional 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 Bro-yles 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 de-fense 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 de-fensive 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 de-fense ranked No. 1 in the nation with 119 sacks and ranked in the Top-10 nationally allowing 2.9 yards per rush-ing 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 Or-akpo 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 allowed less than 100 rushing yards per game and twice led the nation in rush-ing 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, Mus-champ moved immediately into coaching, working as a GA at Auburn from 1995-96, while earning his mas-ter’s degree. He served as a secondary coach at West Georgia (1998) and Eastern Kentucky (1999) before mov-ing 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 Geor-gia, Muschamp earned his way from walk-on 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.

ASSISTANT COACHES

Bobby Bentley is in his fifth season at Carolina, having joined Will Mus-champ’s coaching staff on Dec. 8, 2015. He will return to coach the running backs in 2020, a position he held for three seasons from 2016-18, before serving as the tight ends coach in 2019.

In 2016, his first season in Columbia, Bentley developed a pair of fresh-men 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 and third seasons proved to be a case of running back by committee. The quartet of Rico Dowdle, A.J. Turner, Ty’Son Williams and Mon Denson, all had strong moments during both their sophomore (2017) and junior (2018) campaigns.

Bentley also mentored his son, Jake, in the 2018 Outback Bowl win over Michigan following the dismissal of quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper.

In 2018, the Gamecocks produced six individual 100-yard rushing games, including Deshaun Fenwick’s 112-yard performance against Chattanooga, the first freshman to rush for 100 yards in his debut since 1999.

In addition, Bentley was named one of Rivals Top 25 recruiters for the 2019 class.

In his lone season at the tight ends coach, Bentley mentored Kyle Mark-way, who was the squad’s third-leading receiver with 31 receptions for 349 yards, along with transfer Nick Muse, who added 17 catches for 158 yards.

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.

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-consec-utive 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 Gamecock Great Marcus Lattimore.

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 pass-ing 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.

He and his wife, the former Paulette West, are the parents of five children: Chas, Shuler, Jake, Brooks and Emily. Chas is an assistant strength and con-ditioning coach at the University of Miami; Shuler is a graduate assistant at Troy working with the quarterbacks; and Jake is a senior quarterback at Utah.

Mike Bobo begins his first season with the Gamecocks. Bobo was named the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Dec. 10, 2019.

Bobo just completed his fifth season as the head coach at Colorado State where he posted a 28-35 record. He guided the Rams to bowl games in each of his first three seasons, making him the lone coach in program history to accomplish that feat, and joined Sonny Lubick as the only two to coach the Rams in multiple bowl games in their careers. Overall, Bobo’s teams left their marks on the offensive record book at CSU, as his squads own three of the top-six marks for total offense in a season as well as the school record for most yards per game in a season, that coming in 2017. His Rams also posted three of the top seven scoring seasons in CSU history.

In 2019, the Rams ranked 14th in the nation in passing offense, averaging 305.3 yards per game through the air. Wide receiver Warren Jackson averaged 111.9 receiving yards per game, fourth in the country, on 77 receptions with eight touchdowns in 10 games.

In 2018 the Rams’ 26 touchdowns passes--from two different quarter-backs--ranked fourth in the record books, and CSU ranked 13th among all FBS programs in passing offense (304.9). The Rams managed the 10th-best offensive season in CSU history in 2018, averaging 410.5 yards per game.

The 2017 Rams finished the season with a 7-6 record and ranked 11th in all of FBS in total offense (492.5). CSU ranked second in third down conver-sions (50.3 pct.) and eighth in first downs (25.1), also both school records.

In 2016, Bobo became the first head coach in CSU history to lead the Rams to a bowl game in each of his first two seasons. The Rams’ offense fu-eled a late-season surge, averaging 47.8 points and 533.8 yards per game over the last six contests, including the bowl game. CSU ranked fourth in the na-tion in red-zone scoring (94.6 pct.), 28th in scoring offense (35.3) and 30th in total offense (462.5).

In 2015 Bobo became the only head coach in program history to win seven regular season games in his first season at the helm. CSU’s four wins in the season’s final month marked the first undefeated November by a Rams team since 1948, and included three road wins.

The former Georgia Bulldog came to Fort Collins from his alma mater, where he had been a record-breaking starting quarterback and spent 16 sea-sons coaching, including the last eight (2007-14) as offensive coordinator.

Bobo’s 14-year stint at Georgia, where he had starred at quarterback in the late 1990s, began in January 2001 when head coach Mark Richt hired him as quarterbacks coach, for his second stint with the school. He was pro-moted by Richt to offensive coordinator in 2007. During his time at UGA, Bobo helped lead the Bulldogs to 135 victories, including two Southeastern Conference championships, five SEC Eastern Division titles and eight bowl victories. The 2012 Broyles Award finalist held the offensive coordinator spot for 92 games with the Bulldogs, scoring 30-plus points 57 times, 40-plus points 29 times and more than 50 points 13 times.

Bobo guided several talented quarterbacks at Georgia, including Aaron Murray, Matthew Stafford and David Greene, along with wide receiver A.J. Green, running back Todd Gurley and many others. In all, Bobo helped mold four first-round NFL draft choices at Georgia: Stafford (No. 1 in 2009), running back Knowshon Moreno (No. 12 in 2009), Green (No. 4 in 2011) and Gurley (No. 10 in 2015).

Prior to joining Richt’s staff at Georgia, Bobo served one year as an assis-tant coach at Jacksonville State, after working as an administrative assistant and graduate assistant from 1998-99 at UGA.

Bobo was a quarterback for the Bulldogs from 1994-97, throwing for 6,334 yards, the third-most all-time by a Georgia quarterback.

Bobo, a native of Thomasville, Ga., and his wife, Lainie, have five children, a son Drew; triplets Olivia, Jake and Ava Grace; and Kate. His father, George, was a long-time successful high school coach in Georgia.

Joe Cox was named the Gamecocks’ tight ends coach on Jan. 9, 2020. Cox comes to Columbia after spending the past five seasons as an assistant coach at Colorado State University under the tutelage of Mike Bobo.

Cox spent the 2019 season as the Rams’ wide receivers coach after men-toring the tight ends from 2015-18. The former Georgia quarterback, who started every game in 2009 for Mike Bobo, joined the CSU staff as a graduate assistant in 2015 after coaching for two years at the high school level in his home state of North Carolina.

Cox helped propel a Rams’ offense that turned in some of the most pro-ductive seasons in school history. CSU has posted two of the top five scoring seasons in school history (3rd—35.3 in 2016 and 5th—33.4 in 2017) and two of the top four marks for total offense with Cox on the staff, including a school-record 492.5 yards per game in 2017 (4th, 462.5 in 2016). The 2017 Rams also set school records for first downs per game (25.5) and third-down conversions (50.3 pct.).

In 2019, the Rams ranked 14th in the nation in passing offense, averaging 305.3 yards per game through the air. Junior wide receiver Warren Jackson averaged 111.9 receiving yards per game, fourth in the country, on 77 recep-tions with eight touchdowns in 10 games. True freshman wideout Dante Wright added 57 catches for 805 yards. Jackson and sophomore tight end Trey McBride (45 catches for 560 yards and four TDs) earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors.

In 2018, with Cox guiding a talented group of tight ends, the Rams ranked 13th in FBS in passing offense (304.9), registered the fourth-highest mark in school history for passing touchdowns with 26 and the 10th-best season for total offense, averaging 410.5 yards per game.

In 2016 the Rams’ tight end corps was instrumental in helping the Rams to rank fourth in FBS in red-zone scoring (94.6 pct.), as well as 12th in passing efficiency, 28th in scoring offense (35.3) and 30th in total offense (462.5). The unit also contributed to the Rams’ stellar pass protection, which resulted in a No. 8 national ranking for fewest sacks allowed (1.0), including just one total in the final six games of the season. Their impact on the run game resulted in the second-highest yards-per-carry average (5.3) in school history and the second-best rushing total (2,832 net yards).

Cox was part of the coaching staff at Mallard Creek High School in Char-lotte, N.C., from 2013-14 when the school won back-to-back state cham-pionships. He joined the Mallard Creek staff in 2013 as quarterbacks coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2014.

As Georgia’s starting quarterback in 2009, Cox completed 185-of-331 pass attempts for 2,584 yards and 24 touchdowns, at the time the second-best single-season total in UGA history. An offensive captain, Cox led the Bulldogs to a record of 8-5, and was named Walter Camp Offensive Player of the Week for his five-touchdown, 375-yard performance at Arkansas. For his career, Cox completed 56 percent of his passes for 3,016 yards and 29 touchdowns with 16 interceptions.

Cox was the 2004 state of North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year and AP Prep Player of the Year, and a Parade Magazine All-American at Indepen-dence (N.C.) High School.

Cox earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Georgia in December 2009.

He and his wife, Erica, were married in March 2016 and have one daugh-ter, Avery.

Kyle Krantz begins his third season as an on-field coach and his fifth year in Columbia. He was promoted into the newly-created tenth on-field assis-tant coaching position in early January 2018 and served as the special teams assistant while coaching the Nickels and the SAM linebackers in his first two seasons. He will take over as the special teams coordinator and also assist Travis Robinson with the defensive backs in 2020.

During the 2018 season, his first as an on-field coach, Krantz shared in the responsibility for the development of true freshman defensive back Jaycee Horn. Horn earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team and was recog-nized by 247Sports as a midseason true freshman All-American.

In 2019, Krantz mentored Jammie Robinson, who earned SEC All-Fresh-man accolades, along with SAM linebacker Sherrod Greene, who showed tre-mendous improvement over the course of the season. The Gamecocks’ special teams boasted a school record-holder in punter Joseph Charlton, while rank-ing in the top-20 in net punting for a third-straight year. Placekicker Parker White was successful on 81.8 percent of his field goal attempts.

Krantz owns 11 years of coaching experience, including nine seasons in the SEC as part of four different programs. He spent his first two years in Columbia as a defensive analyst for the Gamecocks.

A 2009 graduate of the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in sociology, Krantz began his career as a student assistant for the defense at UNC from 2007-08 before becoming the linebackers coach at his alma mater from 2009-10. During the summer of 2011, he worked as an offensive quality control volunteer at Northwestern.

Krantz joined the Kentucky staff just prior to the start of the 2011 season, serving as a graduate assistant for the Wildcats. After two seasons in Lexing-ton, he moved on to the University of Florida, where he was placed in charge of quality control for the offense in 2013, working primarily with the wide receivers, and for the defense in 2014, working with the defensive backs un-der Coach Muschamp.

Krantz spent the 2015 season as a defensive analyst on Gus Malzahn’s staff at Auburn, working again with Coach Muschamp and secondary coach Travaris Robinson, before reuniting with Muschamp and Robinson in Co-lumbia.

A native of Denver, Colo., Krantz is married to the former Brittany Hauck.

ASSISTANT COACHES

Bryan McClendon begins his fifth season in Columbia as the wide receiv-ers coach after joining the staff on Dec. 23, 2015. In his first two seasons, he 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, a position he held for both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

In 2019, McClendon helped Bryan Edwards finish his career as one of the most prolific receivers in school history. Edwards set school records with 234 career completions for 3,045 yards while catching a pass in 48-consecutive games.

In 2018, Carolina averaged 30.1 points, 152.8 yards rushing, 272.8 yards passing and 425.6 total yards per game, the most since 2014. The Gamecocks had a school-record five games of 500 yards or more, including back-to-back games of 600 yards against Chattanooga and Clemson. Carolina also set a single-season school record with five passes of 70 yards or more.

In 2017, McClendon groomed sophomore 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 in 2016. Samuel paced the team with 59 receptions for 783 yards, while Edwards turned in the second-best true fresh-man 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 Georgia. He held sev-eral 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 2009-2014, he was the Bulldogs’ running backs coach. McClendon also served as recruiting coordinator in 2014-15.

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 of-fensive 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, 6,294 and 5,964); average yards per game (467.64, 484.2 and 458.8); and touchdowns in a season (72, 58, 70) from 2012-14.

McClendon 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 SEC 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), win-ning three.

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 Dec. 28, 1983, McClendon graduated from Georgia in Decem-ber 2005. He and his wife, Amber, have three children, Bryan, Brooke and Brayden.

Mike Peterson begins his fifth season in Columbia, serving as the outside linebackers coach. Peterson was named to the post on Jan. 26, 2016.

While under Peterson’s tutelage, D.J. Wonnum wrapped up his Gamecock career ranked ninth with 29.5 tackles for loss. He was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2019.

Peterson is credited with the development of Bryson Allen-Williams, who logged 10 tackles for loss in 2018 despite playing in just nine games, and finished his career 10th on the school’s all-time list with 27.5 tackles for loss.

In 2017, Peterson was instrumental in the development of Wonnum, who was twice named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week and ranked tied for seventh in the SEC in tackles for loss with 13.0, while leading the team with 6.0 sacks.

With Peterson’s mentoring, senior Darius English turned in his finest sea-son for the Garnet & Black in 2016, garnering 9.0 sacks to move him into both the single-season and career (15.0) sacks top-10 lists in school history while earning second-team All-SEC accolades.

After retiring from a 14-year NFL playing career, Peterson returned to his alma mater at the University of Florida in 2013 where he finished his degree while working as an undergraduate assistant coach on the Gators’ strength & conditioning staff. Upon his graduation, he was named to a full-time posi-tion as a strength & conditioning coordinator.

Peterson played linebacker on head coach Steve Spurrier’s Florida Gators from 1995-98. He was a member of the 1996 Gators team that finished 12-1 and won the college football national championship. As a senior in 1998, he served as a team captain, earned first-team All-SEC and All-America honors and was selected as the Gators’ most valuable player by his teammates. He was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a “Gator Great” in 2011.

Peterson was a second-round pick (36th pick overall) of the Indianapolis Colts in the 1999 NFL Draft and played professional for the Colts (1999-2002), Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-08) and Atlanta Falcons (2009-12). He earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2005.

During his NFL career, Peterson logged 883 tackles in 196 games with 21.5 sacks and 19 interceptions.

Born June 17, 1976 in Gainesville, Fla., Peterson is the older brother of former Chicago Bears running back Adrian Peterson.

Porter Michael Peterson and his wife, Chantal, have two sons, Mike Jr. and Gavin. His father was a long-time coach in the Gainesville area.

Peterson and his wife established the Mike Peterson Foundation in 2004. The foundation was constituted in an attempt to support and benefit under-served youth and socio-economically challenged families in Peterson’s home-town of Alachua, Florida and his NFL cities of Jacksonville and Atlanta. Since its inception, the Mike Peterson Foundation has already served over 15,000 youth and families through several community events and programs, most notably the Top Dog Readers Club literacy program at the Grove Park Elementary School in Atlanta.

ASSISTANT COACHES

Now in his fifth season in Columbia, Travaris Robinson serves as the Gamecocks’ defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach.

Led by first-team All-American defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, the Caro-lina defense held its opponents to 20 points or less in five games in 2019.

The Gamecocks were hit hard by the injury bug during the 2018 sea-son, especially on the defensive side of the ball, including four Opening Day starters who were not available for the Belk Bowl. Eight true freshmen saw significant playing time on defense during the season.

Carolina led the SEC and ranked ninth in the country with 28 turnovers forced, while ranking 25th in points allowed per game at 20.7 in 2017. The Gamecocks held 11 of 13 opponents to fewer points than its season average.

Carolina tied for 10th in the nation in turnovers forced with 27 during the 2016 campaign, including 15 interceptions.

Regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, T-Rob spent the pre-vious five seasons coaching defensive backs under Muschamp, first at Florida (2011-14), then at Auburn (2015). The former Tiger standout began his coaching career at Auburn under Muschamp, first as a staff assistant in 2006 while finishing up his undergraduate degree, then as a GA in 2007.

Robinson spent one season each as a defensive backs coach at Western Kentucky (2008), Southern Miss (2009) and Texas Tech (2010) before re-uniting with Muschamp on his staff at Florida.

In his first season at Florida in 2011, Robinson guided a UF secondary that ranked seventh in the nation in pass defense (166.8), while the Gator defense ranked eighth nationally in total defense (299.5).

Robinson led a secondary that was one of the best in the nation in 2012, ranking No. 2 in pass efficiency defense (95.55) and allowing just seven touchdown passes, the second-fewest in the nation. Florida had 20 intercep-tions on the season, good for seventh nationally while safety Matt Elam was a first-team All-America selection and first-round draft pick.

In 2013, Robinson’s secondary was seventh nationally in passing defense and eighth in passing efficiency defense, while the defensive unit was eight in total defense. Under Robinson, Vernon Hargreaves III was a freshman All-SEC and freshman All-America pick while being named the National Freshman Defensive Player of the Year by College Football News.

In 2014 at Florida, Robinson again tutored Hargreaves III, who was a first-team All-SEC pick and named first-team All-America. Jalen Tabor received freshman All-America and freshman All-SEC honors. The Gators defense finished the 2014 regular season ranked ninth nationally in total defense, 14th in pass efficiency defense and 23rd in passing defense.

At Texas Tech, he helped the Red Raiders to an 8-5 record and a victory over Northwestern in the TicketCity Bowl. In his one season at Tech, Robin-son had two defensive backs earn All-Big 12 Honorable Mention recognition and a third that was named a freshman All-America honorable mention.

His 2009 Southern Miss squad finished in the top four in Conference USA in pass efficiency defense, interceptions and yards per pass attempt, and he coached First Team All-C-USA selection Eddie Hicks.

Before embarking on his coaching career, Robinson played two seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Robinson was selected the MVP of the Iron Bowl and was a first-team AP All-SEC selection after collecting 92 total tackles with four interceptions. He concluded his collegiate career with 166 tackles and five picks.

Robinson was born in Miami, Fla. and attended Coral Park High where he was a four-year letterman and earned all-state honors as a defensive back and wide receiver. He received his bachelor’s degree in mass communications from Auburn in 2007.

He is married to the former Mandisa Skyers. Their family includes sons, Tyson Jerod and Travis Jerod, and daughter, Jordyn.

Veteran defensive line coach Tracy Rocker comes to Columbia after find-ing success at every stop during his 20-plus year collegiate and professional coaching career.

The well-traveled Rocker spent the past two seasons at Tennessee, his fifth different stop in the SEC. He has also logged Division I stints at Georgia (2014-16), Auburn (2009-10), Ole Miss (2008), Arkansas (2003-07), Cin-cinnati (2002), and Troy (1997-01).

ASSISTANT COACHES

South Carolina alum Rod Wilson returns to his alma mater where he will be in charge of the linebackers. Wilson was officially named to his post on February 21, 2020.

Wilson has spent the past three seasons with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs as an Assistant Special Teams Coach. He assisted Special Teams Coordinator Dave Toub, helping develop Harrison Butker into one of the league’s top placekickers and the combination of Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman into two of the most dangerous return men in the NFL. This past season he was part of the staff that led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title in 50 years.

In 2018, the Chiefs special teams ranked third in punt returns, fourth in punt return coverage and eighth in kickoff returns. In 2017, Butker con-nected on a franchise record 23-consecutive field goals, ranking second in team history for most field goals made in a single season and tied for first for the most 50-plus yard field goals made in a season with four. The Chiefs also led the NFL in kick returns (40) for 1,051 yards.

Prior to his stint in Kansas City, Wilson spent four seasons (2013-16) at Charleston Southern coaching the safeties, inside linebackers and assisting with special teams, following a six-year NFL career.

Under Wilson’s tutelage, CSU landed at least one linebacker on the Big South’s All-Conference squad each of his four seasons. In 2016, Wil-son helped guide the Buccaneers defense to top rankings within the league, limiting opponents to the fewest rushing touchdowns (15) and fewest total rushing yards (1,488). The 2015 Buccaneers ranked atop the league in total defense (292.0 yards per game) and held opponents to the second-fewest rushing yards per game (147.1) which helped earn an outright Big South title and the program’s first-ever berth into the FCS Playoffs.

Within his four years at Charleston Southern, he made a brief stop in Kan-sas City as part of the league’s Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship during the club’s 2015 training camp.

Prior to his collegiate coaching career, Wilson enjoyed a six-year playing career in the National Football League. Originally selected in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft (220th overall) by the Chicago Bears, Wilson appeared in 51 games for the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, tallying 47 tackles and one forced fumble while primarily playing a special teams role under then-Special Teams Coach Dave Toub. Wilson’s career high-lights include four playoff appearances, which included two NFC Champi-onship appearances and a trip to Super Bowl XLI.

Born Nov. 12, 1981, the Cross, S.C. native graduated from the University of South Carolina, where he played five different positions for the Game-cocks (quarterback, wide receiver, spur, safety and linebacker). He put to-gether an outstanding senior year in 2004, serving as a team captain, leading the team in tackles, and earning SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades.

Wilson and his wife, Megan, have two sons, Jaylen and Ryan.

Offensive line coach Eric Wolford is in his fourth year on Will Muschamp’s staff and his fifth year overall in Columbia. Wolford previously served on Steve Spurrier’s Carolina staff during the 2009 campaign.

In 2019, Wolford’s unit helped pave the way for five different running backs to rush for more than 100 yards in a game.

In 2018, Carolina averaged 30.1 points, 152.8 yards rushing, 272.8 yards passing and 425.6 total yards, the best marks since 2014. The Gamecocks had five games of 500 yards or more for the first time in school history, in-cluding back-to-back games of 600 yards against Chattanooga and Clemson.

Carolina’s number of sacks allowed has dipped from 41 in 2016, the year prior to Wolford’s arrival, to 29 in 2017 and to 23 in 2018, the fewest since the 2013 season. Even more impressively, in SEC play the sacks allowed number has dropped from 31 in 2016, to 18 in 2017, to just 12 in 2018.

Off the field, Wolford was 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 high-est GPA on record for four-consecutive seasons.

Wolford served as South Carolina’s run game coordinator and offensive line coach in 2009 after a two-year 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 top-ping the 5,000-yard mark in total offense for just the third and fourth times in school history. Wolford was 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, who earned the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year Award. Wolford also helped lead UNT to its third-consec-utive 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, Houston enjoyed a dramatic turnaround, going from a winless season to five victories. During that time, Wolford coached five all-conference players.

Wolford had the unique experience of coaching in the first three seasons of the USF football program, helping to lead the Bulls to two winning seasons. In year two, the offense put up over 400 yards per game.

Wolford began his coaching career at his alma mater, Kansas State, where he worked as a GA 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. During his senior year, the Wildcats won the school’s first bowl game in the 1993 Cop-per Bowl. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1994 in social sciences with a focus on monetary policy and banking.

Wolford and his wife, Melinda, have two children, Stone and Marlee. Eric and Melinda started a non-profit organization, inspired by their son,

called the No Stone Unturned Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to embracing, engaging, and empowering children with special needs and their families, with a major focus on any child with any disability.

Charlotte, N.C.52,183

CHARLOTTE N.C. (AP) — True freshman quarterback Sam Howell threw for 245 yards and two touch-downs, Myles Wolfork had two late fourth quarter interceptions and North Carolina battled back to beat South Carolina 24-20 on Saturday in Mack Brown’s return to the sideline following a five-year hiatus.

Howell capped second half drives of 98 and 95 yards with a 22-yard TD strike to Dyami Brown and a 17-yard scoring toss to Beau Corrales to give Brown his first win since 2013, when he coached at Texas.

Brown was holding back tears as he was interviewed leaving the field after singing the school fight song with fans and raising his hands to them in vic-tory.

“I don’t usually (do that) but I thought I should because they stayed, they were loud,” Brown said. ... I wanted to tell them thank you.”

Later, Brown danced in the Tar Heels locker room.The Tar Heels’ defense was strong in the second half, and Wolfork sealed

the win by intercepting Jake Bentley twice on South Carolina’s final three possessions helping North Carolina register its first win over a power-con-ference opponent in a season opener since topping Indiana in 1997, Brown’s final season in his first stint at the school.

The Tar Heels were remarkably conservative on offense in crucial situa-tions in the first half, not wanting to put Howell in difficult situations. North Carolina ran 12 plays inside the South Carolina 25-yard line in the first half and 11 were runs. The only pass attempt resulted in a sack.

But as the game progressed, the Tar Heels began to take the handcuffs off Howell and he responded with two big TD passes and no major mistakes.

“We were very conservative with Sam Howell around the goal line early,” Brown said. “And we felt like at halftime, he’s a quarterback. We have to turn him loose. And he played a tremendous second half.”

North Carolina did most of its damage on the ground though, rushing for 238 yards on 52 carries. Javonte Williams led the way with 102 yards on 18 carries.

“They are patient in their runs and we cut back and over-pursued,” said South Carolina coach Will Muschamp.

Clemson graduate transfer Tavien Feaster, who won two national champi-onship rings with the Tigers and ran for 1,109 yards and 13 touchdowns over the past two seasons, ran for 72 yards and a touchdown for the Gamecocks.

Bentley was limited to 142 yards passing.

GAME CHANGERNorth Carolina scored on drives of 98 and 95 yards in the fourth quarter

to overcome a 20-9 deficit for a 24-20 victory. The Tar Heels scored on passes of 22 and 17 yards, part of Sam Howell’s 245 passing yards.

KEY STAT483 – The Tar Heels gained 483 of total offense, compared to 280 for the

Gamecocks. Javonte Williams had 102 rushing yards while Dazz Newsome had 74 yards receiving. North Carolina also has 33:42 time of possession.

Columbia, S.C.70,698

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina fans gave quarterback Ryan Hilinski even more love than a second string QB typically gets in his first start and the freshman with the inspiring backstory responded with a storybook debut.

Hilinski completed 24 of 30 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score leading the Gamecocks (1-1) to a 72-10 win over Charleston Southern on Saturday.

The highly touted Hilinski earned the backup job in spring practice after enrolling early from high school and was elevated to starter after senior Jake Bentley broke his foot in the last play of the opening loss to North Carolina. Bentley is out for at least several weeks.

While South Carolina was recruiting Hilinski, his older brother Tyler Hilinski killed himself while playing quarterback for Washington State. The school promised to do whatever it could to help his family and their Hilin-ski’s Hope foundation in Tyler’s honor to help make the mental health of college athletes as important as their physical health.

The crowd chanted “Let’s go Ryan!” during his first two drives.Hilinski’s parents were in the stands and his mother, Kym, said during an

in-game interview with the SEC Network that she caught herself cheering for Tyler as her younger son took the field for South Carolina.

“I stepped back and I said, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe I just yelled that.’ But I think they were both out there on the field today, right?” Kym Hilinski said in the TV interview. “It was Ryan and Tyler, and Tyler was his angel on the field. I hope he’s with him for the rest of this season and the next few seasons.”

The Gamecocks mostly kept it simple for Hilinski against the FCS Buc-caneers (0-2) with plenty of screens, short passes and handoffs. Hilinski did hit Bryan Edwards in stride for a 60-yard touchdown pass and looked like a freshman in the third quarter when he was rushed and sailed a pass for his one interception.

But overall, it was a fine debut for the freshman. Things get exponentially harder next week with No. 2 Alabama coming to town for the Southeastern Conference opener.

Muschamp said dealing with the pain and struggle of what happened to his brother helps Ryan Hilinski deal with social media and the crucible of now being a starting quarterback in the SEC.

“It makes you grow up very quickly,” Muschamp said. “It helps you handle criticism.”

GAME CHANGERSouth Carolina accumulated a school-record 775 yards of total offense and

scored 11 touchdowns in the rout of the Buccaneers. The Gamecocks scored 21 points in the first quarter and never looked back, as Carolina had two 100-yard rushers (Mon Denson and Kevin Harris) and a 100-yard receiver (Bryan Edwards).

KEY STAT282 – Ryan Hilinski made his first start in a Gamecock uniform on Sat-

urday, throwing for 282 yards on 24 completions in 30 attempts. Hilinski threw for a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yard strike to Bryan Edwards.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Ala-bama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fo-cused on what his team needs to work on instead of his career performance.

Tagovailoa threw for a career-best 444 yards - the third most in history for No. 2 Alabama - and tied his high with five TD passes in a 47-23 victory over South Carolina on Saturday.

But there was no gushing or cel-ebrations for Tagovailoa, who seemed to channel his coach Nick Saban in a single-minded focus on what the Crimson Tide (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) must do to improve.

“When we start drives, we’ve got to finish them,” he said. “We were able to move the ball really well, but we got stuck.”

It seemed like Tagovailoa unstuck the Tide much of the game against South Carolina (1-2, 0-1).

He had TD throws of 24 yards to Najee Harris and 81 yards to Henry Ruggs III in the opening quarter. When the Gamecocks closed to 17-10, Tagovailoa hit Harris who finished a nifty run where he broke through one tackler, leaped over another and dragged a third over the goal line with him.

Tagovailoa finished 28 of 36. He surpassed his previous best of 387 yards set against Texas A&M last year. Tagovailoa matched his career high of five TDs on an 11-yard toss to DeVonta Smith in the final quarter.

The Crimson Tide finished with 76 yards rushing against 495 passing.Saban reminded his players, about all who were in middle or elementary

school in 2010, of the Tides’ previous game here when the top-ranked Tide were soundly beaten 35-21.

And the Gamecocks tried anything they could to pull off another miracle, but little worked - especially with Tagovailoa in complete control.

Parker White’s fake field goal run to the end zone was called back because of holding. Alabama snuffed out a fake punt to stop the Gamecocks well short of a first down. And when South Carolina drove to Alabama’s 1 on the final play of the half, freshman Ryan Hilinski’s pass to the back of the end zone was off target.

Tagovailoa’s passing yards were the third most in school history. He bet-tered his previous mark of 387 yards against Texas A&M and tied his per-sonal best for touchdowns set against Auburn, both of those coming in 2018.

Smith and Ruggs both surpassed 100 yards receiving. Smith had 136 yards on eight catches, including two TDs. Ruggs had six catches for 122 yards.

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said his team’s errors near the goal line - Hilinski threw high on one fourth-and-goal and threw an interception into the end zone - cost them the chance to keep things closer.

GAME CHANGERSouth Carolina cut the Alabama lead to 24-13 on a 28-yard Parker White

field goal with 11:26 left in the third quarter but the Crimson Tide came back with a five-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a DeVonta Smith touch-down reception from Tua Tagovailoa, giving Alabama the 31-13 lead on its way to a 47-23 victory.

KEY STAT819 – The two teams combined for 819 passing yards, 444 from Tago-

vailoa and 324 from Carolina freshman Ryan Hilinski. Hilinski was 36-for-57 with a pair of touchdowns in the game.

COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Mis-souri’s defense scored the easy way and the hard way as the Tigers beat South Carolina 34-14 on Saturday.

Linebacker Cale Garrett recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touch-down and safety Ronnell Perkins returned an interception 100 yards for another score for the Tigers (3-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference). South Carolina (1-3, 0-2 SEC) managed just 16 rushing yards and freshman quar-terback Ryan Hilinski committed two costly turnovers.

Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant completed 19 of 33 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed 17 times for 77 yards.

The Tigers began the scoring in the first quarter with a bizarre play. Hil-inski’s pass was batted back to him by Missouri defensive end Chris Turner. Hilinski grabbed the ball and spiked it at his own 1-yard line. Although the officials initially ruled the second throw an incomple - and illegal - for-ward pass, Garrett scooped up the ball in the end zone. After a video review showed Hilinski’s spike went backward, the original call was reversed, it was ruled a fumble and the Tigers were awarded a touchdown.

The Gamecocks got back into the game in the second quarter when D.J. Wonnum intercepted a Bryant pass in the flat and rumbled 21 yards to Mis-souri’s 1-yard line. Rico Dowdle pounded in a touchdown run to cut South Carolina’s deficit to 10-7. Missouri answered with Bryant’s 3-yard touch-down pass to Albert Okwuegbunam, and the Tigers led 17-7 at halftime.

After throwing for only 3 yards in the first half, Hilinski threw a perimeter screen to wide receiver Bryan Edwards on the first play of the second half, and Edwards weaved 75 yards for a touchdown. Hilinski guided the Game-cocks down the field on the ensuing drive by converting two third-down passes and one fourth-down pass. But on third-and-goal from Missouri’s 3-yard line, Hilinski threw it right to Missouri’s Perkins in the end zone, and he returned it 100 yards to give the Tigers a 31-14 lead.

GAME CHANGERWith the Gamecocks trailing 24-14 and the ball on the Missouri 3-yard

line, Ryan Hilinski’s pass was intercepted by Ronnell Perkins in the end zone and returned for a 100-yard touchdown, giving the Tigers the 31-14 lead.

KEY STAT2 – Missouri scored a pair of defensive touchdowns in the game, as Cale

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Rico Dowdle and Tavien Feaster like sharing the football, especially when it leads to South Carolina victories like this.

Dowdle and Feaster, the Game-cocks’ two senior tailbacks, both ran for more than 100 yards and account-ed for three touchdowns as South Car-olina (2-3, 1-2 Southeastern Confer-ence) snapped a five-game series losing streak to Kentucky with a 24-7 victory Saturday night.

Dowdle had 102 yards and a 30-yard TD while Feaster had 107 yards and scoring runs of 2 and 19 yards in a dominant win over the Wildcats (2-3, 0-3).

The Gamecocks also ended a run of six consecutive losses to Power Five opponents. And they did it just the way coach Will Muschamp wanted with an effective running attack.

Dowdle surpassed the century mark for the second time in three games. Feaster gave South Carolina a second 100-yard rusher with 107 yards (67

in the final period) and touchdown runs of 2 and 19 yards. It’s the first time the Gamecocks had a pair of 100-yard rushers in SEC play since 2001 when Andrew Pinnock and Derek Watson did it in a win over Vanderbilt with Lou Holtz as coach.

Feaster won a pair of national titles with Clemson, but wanted a new set-ting where he could showcase the skills that made him a five-star prospect coming out of high school. It had been slow going at times for South Caro-lina’s run game this season until the breakthrough against Kentucky.

The win “proves a lot,” Feaster said. “Just that hard work and dedication will take you far. Even if the results weren’t immediate, just keep pushing, keep fighting.”

The Gamecocks certainly did, pressuring Kentucky quarterback Sawyer Smith throughout and giving up just 111 yards total the first three quarters. The Wildcats broke up a shutout on Chris Rodriguez’s 2-yard scoring run with 2:32 left in the game.

“This was a commanding win and that’s what we needed going into an off week,” Muschamp said.

Kentucky last started SEC play with three losses in 2013.The Wildcats had averaged better than 200 yards rushing against South

Carolina during the win streak. They managed just 115 yards on the ground in this one.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said Smith was dealing with injuries and struggled to move the ball.

“We need to hit the reset button and get some guys healthy,” he said. “And get some of these mistakes that we’re making corrected.”

GAME CHANGERRico Dowdle gave the Gamecocks a 17-0 lead just 1:01 into the second

half with a 30-yard touchdown run. Dowdle also moved over 2,000 career yards rushing in the Kentucky win.

KEY STAT269 — The Carolina running game had a pair of 100-yard runners (Tavien

Feaster 107, Rico Dowdle 102) and had 269 total yards on the ground in the Kentucky win. It was the second time this season that the Gamecocks had a pair of 100-yard runners.

ATHENS, GA. (AP) — Israel Mu-kuamu returned the first of his three interceptions 53 yards for a touch-down and South Carolina took advan-tage of Jake Fromm’s four turnovers to beat No. 3 Georgia 17-10 in double overtime on Saturday.

Parker White’s 23-yard field goal in the second overtime proved to be enough when Georgia’s Rodrigo Blan-kenship was wide left on his attempt from 42 yards. Blankenship’s second miss of the game sent South Carolina players charging onto the field to cel-ebrate the upset.

White missed a 33-yard attempt in the first overtime.Georgia (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) suffered a big hit to its na-

tional championship hopes. The Bulldogs, favored by 24 1/2 points, could not overcome three interceptions and a lost fumble by Fromm, the senior quarterback known for avoiding mistakes. Fromm did not throw an intercep-tion in the Bulldogs’ first five games.

Fromm led Georgia on a tying 96-yard touchdown drive capped by his 6-yard scoring pass to Demetris Robertson with less than two minutes re-maining in regulation.

South Carolina (3-3, 2-2) took its first win over a ranked opponent since beating No. 18 Tennessee in 2016. It was an important signature win for coach Will Muschamp over his alma mater.

The Gamecocks won despite losing quarterback Ryan Hilinski to an ap-parent knee injury.

Hilinski completed 15 of 20 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game after a late hit in the third quarter. Georgia linebacker Adam Anderson was penalized for roughing the passer.

Fromm threw no interceptions on 111 passes through five games, but his first giveaway in the second quarter was costly.

Pressure from the South Carolina defense forced Fromm to attempt a pass off his back foot. The floater from Fromm, intended for George Pickens, was intercepted by Mukuamu, whose 53-yard return gave the Gamecocks the lead.

With Georgia driving for a potential tying touchdown, Fromm fumbled the first snap of the fourth quarter. T.J. Brunson recovered for the Gamecocks at the South Carolina 29.

Hilinski’s 46-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Edwards in the first quarter gave the Gamecocks a 7-3 lead.

D’Andre Swift, who ran for 113 yards, had a 1-yard scoring run early in the second quarter.

GAME CHANGERCarolina’s defense recorded four turnovers including a 53-yard intercep-

tion return by Israel Mukuamu in the second quarter. Mukuamu had three turnovers on the day, becoming the first Gamecock since 1988 to have three picks in a game.

KEY STAT93 — Carolina recorded its longest touchdown drive of the season in the

Columbia, S.C.78,883

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Kyle Trask threw for a career-high four touchdowns, three in the fourth quar-ter, to help No. 9 Florida bounce back from its loss at LSU and outlast South Carolina 38-27 on Saturday.

The Gators (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) slogged through a soggy field from Tropical Storm Nestor for much of the game. But they eventually came to life and rallied past a South Carolina (3-4, 2-3) team looking to take down a Top 10 opponent for the second straight week after its 20-17 double-overtime win at Georgia.

Instead, it was Florida, off its 42-28 defeat at LSU, that kept making plays on the way to its best start since 2015.

‘’We have a very resilient team,’’ Trask said. ‘’We’re never going to panic, no matter the situation.’’

That was evident in the second half.After Trask’s interception deep in Florida territory led to Tavien Feaster’s

21-yard TD run to put the Gamecocks up 17-10, Dameon Pierce answered right back with a 75-yard scoring run on Florida’s next snap to tie it.

In the final period, down 20-17, Trask faced fourth-and-3 on South Caro-lina’s 34 before scrambling from pressure to pick up the first down with a 9-yard pass to Kyle Pitts. Trask followed with the go-ahead 25-yard touch-down throw to Lamical Perine.

Florida’s defense came through down the stretch, too, after the Gators took the lead. Defensive end Zachary Carter sacked Ryan Hilinski, who fumbled as nose tackle Kyree Campbell recovered.

Trask, who completed 21 of 33 passes for 200 yards, finished the series with a 5-yard TD pass to Pitts before a final scoring pass of 5 yards to Trevon Grimes.

South Carolina, still buoyed by its win over Georgia, looked strong well into the second half and seemed poised once more shuffle the SEC East race with an upset.

But like a year ago, when Florida rallied from 31-14 down to defeat the Gamecocks 35-31, South Carolina could not hold.

‘’Get the lead in fourth quarter, got to make some plays. We didn’t do that,’’ South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said.

Hilinski, who sprained his knee in the Georgia win, was not sharp for most of this game. The freshman completed 17 of 35 throws for 170 yards.

Feaster, the Clemson graduate transfer, ran for 175 yards for South Caro-lina, which was outscored 21-7 in the final period.

Things got so frustrating on the Gamecocks sidelines that Muschamp drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the closing minutes.

GAME CHANGERFlorida logged a seven-play, 52-yard drive early in the fourth quarter, giv-

ing the Gators a 24-20 lead they would not relinquish. Kyle Trask hit Freddy Swain with a 25-yard TD pass as Florida scored 21 fourth quarter points.

KEY STAT175 – Tavien Feaster ran for 175 yards on the day, which was a career high

and was first time a Gamecock has run for 175 yards since Rico Dowdle rank for 226 yards against Western Carolina in 2016. Feaster had 25 carries and a touchdown in the contest.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. (AP) — Jauan Jennings and Marquez Calla-way each scored two touchdowns and Tennessee threw for a season-high 351 yards without the services of injured quarterback Brian Maurer to beat South Carolina 41-21 on Saturday

Tennessee (3-5, 2-3 SEC) outscored South Carolina 24-0 in the second half to end a three-game skid in this series.

“We just really dominated the sec-ond half in all phases,” Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said. “You look at our team, tonight was a chance for our program to kind of grow up.”

Maurer couldn’t play Saturday after sustaining concussions in each of Tennessee’s last two games, which left former starter Jarrett Guarantano and redshirt freshman J.T. Shrout as the Volunteers’ only available scholarship quarterbacks.

Guarantano went 11 of 19 for 229 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to Jennings before leaving with an injured left hand midway through the third quarter. Shrout was 7 of 11 for 122 yards, including a 55-yard touch-down to Callaway.

Jennings ended up with seven catches for a career-high 174 yards and two touchdowns. Callaway had three catches for 102 yards and scored on a 65-yard punt return.

“We didn’t cover 15 and 1,” South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said as he referred to Jennings’ and Callaway’s uniform numbers. “We had a hard time matching up on those guys. We knew that going into the game. We’ve had a hard time matching up with those guys since they’ve been here. We’ve been fortunate to come out the three previous years and get the win. We just didn’t today.”

Guarantano took a big hit from T.J. Brunson just as he threw a 19-yard pass in the back of the end zone to Jennings, who gave Tennessee a 28-24 lead by hanging on to the ball even after taking a shot from R.J. Roderick.

Although the hit from Brunson briefly sent Guarantano to the locker room, Tennessee still managed to extend the lead on its next series as Cal-laway caught Shrout’s first career touchdown pass.

Big plays enabled South Carolina (3-5, 2-4) to grab a 21-17 halftime lead.South Carolina quarterback Ryan Hilinski, who went 28 of 51 for 319

yards, connected with Shi Smith for a 75-yard touchdown on the game’s first snap. Late in the second quarter, Bryan Edwards reached his right arm over-head and made a spectacular one-handed, 18-yard catch on the right sideline to set up a Tavien Feaster 1-yard touchdown run. South Carolina also made a fourth-and-goal stand at the 1.

But it was all Tennessee the rest of the way.

GAME CHANGERMarquez Callaway hauled in a 55-yard touchdown pass from Jarrett Guar-

antano with 5:07 left in the third quarter as Tennessee took a 31-21 lead. The Volunteers added a field goal and a blocked punt for a touchdown in the 20-point win.

KEY STAT485 – The Tennessee offense had 485 yards of total offense on the day and

had a pair of receivers collect over 100 yards as the Volunteers defeated the Gamecocks. Jauan Jennings had a career-high 174 yards for the Vols.

Columbia, S.C.71,945

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — With one of their key playmakers out in-jured, South Carolina again turned to dependable “old man” Bryan Edwards.

Edwards caught a school record 14 passes for a career best 139 yards to lead the Gamecocks (4-5, 3-4 South-eastern) to a 24-7 win that keeps South Carolina’s season from skidding into a ditch for now.

The senior shouldered the offensive load for the Gamecocks after receiver Shi Smith tweaked his hamstring this week and did not play.

“He competes every down like it is his last down,” South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. “I’ve seen that for four years now.”

Ryan Hilinski was 24-for-31 for 235 yards for the Gamecocks, including a 25-yard touchdown pass to Edwards midway through the fourth quarter that sealed the win.

“He was hard to tackle,” Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. “At times we knew the football was coming to him and we still had a hard time getting him down.”

Edwards’ teammates call him “old man,” in part because he is one of the few seniors on the offense and in part because he is a mature, calming pres-ence in the locker room. That’s been especially important in an up-and-down year that included an upset of No. 8 Georgia and second half collapses in losses to No. 6 Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee.

“Everybody calls me ‘old man.’ I haven’t turned 21 yet,” said Edwards, who also had a 38-yard punt return late in the third quarter that flipped the field a defensive struggle.

Freshman Deshaun Fenwick got his first action of 2019, running 18 times for 102 yards.

Muschamp said Fenwick came to him to discuss a transfer after he didn’t play the first two months of the season.

“He stuck it out,” Muschamp said. “He’s a great example of a guy who handled adversity and fought it a little bit.”

The Commodores (2-6, 1-4) lost starting quarterback Riley Neal to injury after the first drive and, with Mo Hasan not playing, turned to third string Deuce Wallace. The junior was 8-for-17 for 30 yards and two interceptions.

The SEC’s third leading rusher, Vanderbilt’s Ke’Shawn Vaughn, ran 20 times for 87 yards.

The Gamecocks have won 11 straight over Vanderbilt. South Carolina is the only SEC East team that the Commodores never beat this decade.

GAME CHANGERKevin Harris scored from one yard out with 1:38 left in the first half,

giving the Gamecocks a 14-7 lead that it would never relinquish. Carolina added 10 points in the fourth quarter for the 24-7 victory.

KEY STAT139 – Bryan Edwards set a career-best in catches and receiving yards in a

game on Saturday, making 14 catches for 139 yards and a touchdown. It was part of 440 yards of total offense in the game for the Gamecocks.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Zac Thomas ran for a touchdown and Nicholas Ross scored on a 20-yard in-terception return as Appalachian State beat its second Power Five program of the season - and first from the South-eastern Conference - with a 20-15 victory over South Carolina Saturday night.

The Mountaineers (8-1) were ranked No. 20 and undefeated with a chance to play in the Cotton Bowl before last week’s 24-21 home loss to Georgia Southern. They bounced back in the best way possible, holding off a late rally by South Carolina and adding this Power Five takedown to their 34-31 victory at North Carolina on Sept. 21.

Bryan Edwards had a 23-yard touchdown catch to draw the Gamecocks (4-6) within five with three minutes left. The Gamecocks drove to the App State 9 with 11 seconds left. But after a South Carolina holding penalty, Hil-inski’s pass to the end zone was long in Appalachian State’s latest landmark victory.

As the Mountaineers did after stunning fourth-ranked Michigan in 2007 and the Tar Heels back in September, they rushed the field in celebration.

South Carolina’s chances of making a bowl took a serious hit. The Game-cocks now must win at Texas A&M (something they’ve never done) and No. 4 Clemson in their final two games to make their fourth postseason trip under coach Will Muschamp.

Things turned right before halftime when Hilinski’s hard throw over the middle bounced off Xavier Legette’s hands and was intercepted by safety Nicholas Ross and returned 20 yards for a touchdown to put Appalachian State ahead for good 13-6.

Hilinski, the Gamecocks freshman, had not thrown a pick in his past five games until Ross got the deflected ball and took it in for the score.

Appalachian State defense took away what was expected to be the Game-cocks biggest edge in the run game. Season starter Rico Dowdle, who had missed the previous two games with an ankle sprain, had zero yards on 10 first-half carries in his return.

The Gamecocks came in averaging 184 yards a game on the ground but gained just 21 on 27 carries. South Carolina played without leading rusher Tavien Feaster, who sustained a groin injury last week.

“When we don’t have the ability to run the ball, we’re going to struggle,” South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said.

Edwards finished with nine catches for 90 yards, the senior surpassing Alshon Jeffery for the school’s all-time receiving yardage mark.

GAME CHANGERZac Thomas’ 1-yard run for a touchdown with 7:10 left in the third gave

the Mountaineers a 20-9 lead. Carolina came back to cut it to five (20-15) on Bryan Edwards’ 23-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Hilinski and got the ball to the App 9 in the final drive, but couldn’t get the go-ahead score.

KEY STAT117 – Carolina outgained Appalachian State 346-202 but the Mountain-

eers had 117 yards on kickoffs, leading to a pair of scoring drives. App State also had a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown by Nicholas Ross.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — Kellen Mond threw for 221 yards and a touchdown and ran for a second score as Texas A&M extended its winning streak to four games with a 30-6 win over South Carolina on Sat-urday night.

Cordarrian Richardson ran for 130 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, and added a TD reception to help the Aggies to the victory on a night they piled up 319 yards rushing.

With just four wins and one game left the loss guarantees that the Game-cocks (4-7, 3-5 Southeastern Confer-ence) won’t make a bowl game for the first time in four seasons.

South Carolina fell to 0-6 all-time against Texas A&M and lost its second straight game this season after falling to Appalachian State last week.

The Aggies led by 10 at halftime and neither team could get anything going after the break, combining for six punts in the third quarter. South Carolina went three-and-out twice and the Aggies punted after just three plays once.

Texas A&M (7-3, 4-2) was finally able to sustain a drive when it capped a 14-play drive with a 40-yard field goal which extended the lead to 16-3 early in the fourth quarter.

The Aggies forced a fourth straight punt by South Carolina after that and Mond made it 22-3 with a 1-yard TD dive with about 10 minutes left. Rich-ardson set up that score when he scampered 31 yards a play earlier.

South Carolina went for it on fourth-and-8 on its next drive and couldn’t convert. Richardson’s long touchdown ran came two plays later to pad the lead.

Ryan Hilinski threw for 175 yards for South Carolina in a game where the Aggies held the Gamecocks to just 45 yards rushing.

Isaiah Spiller added 129 yards rushing for Texas A&M.The game was tied early in the second quarter after both teams scored a

field goal in the first quarter when Mond found Richardson wide open for a 17-yard touchdown reception to give A&M a 10-3 lead.

Seth Small missed a 42-yard field goal on Texas A&M’s next possession, but made one from 30 yards with less than a minute left in the second quar-ter to leave the Aggies up 13-3 at halftime.

GAME CHANGERTexas A&M made it 10-3 with 11:35 left in the second quarter on a 17-

yard pass from Kellen Mond to Cordarrian Richardson, completing an eight-play, 75-yard drive. The Aggies then scored 17 points in the second quarter on its way to the win over the Gamecocks.

KEY STAT260 – The Gamecocks had just 260 yards of offense in the game against

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Trevor Lawrence threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 3 Clem-son to its 27th straight victory and sec-ond consecutive 12-0 regular season with a 38-3 victory over rival South Carolina on Saturday.

Travis Etienne ran for two touch-downs as the Tigers dominated throughout on the way to a sixth straight win over South Carolina (4-8).

Lawrence had touchdown throws of 10 and 65 yards to Tee Higgins and of 16 yards to Justyn Ross. He completed 25 of 35 throws - tying an Atlantic Coast Conference single-game mark with 18 straight at one point - before coming out in the fourth quarter.

Clemson’s defense did its part in the beatdown, holding the Gamecocks to 174 yards and continuing a run where the Tigers have limited all 12 op-ponents this year to less than 300 yards of total offense.

South Carolina’s defense showed some fight very early, stuffing Etienne for no gain on fourth-and-goal at the 1 on Clemson’s first drive. Four plays later, though, Ryan Hilinski threw an interception to Derion Kendrick to set up the first score and Clemson’s rout was on.

Lawrence connected with Higgins on a 10-yard score on a perfectly placed over the shoulder throw.

Higgins was on the other end of another beautiful Lawrence TD pass from 65-yards out.

Lawrence and the Tigers benefited from a couple of official reviews. On the first, Justyn Ross’ 33-yard catch after he was pushed out of bounds and returned was upheld when South Carolina challenged the call. Then Ross’ catch, initially ruled caught out of bounds, was overturned for a 16-yard scoring pass as his backfoot touched turf before going out.

South Carolina, which gained 600 yards a year ago in this game, struggled to make anything against Clemson’s front-line defense. The Gamecocks fin-ished with 99 yards overall the first 30 minutes and their only score was Parker White’s 39-yard field in the second quarter.

It was South Carolina’s fewest points scored against Clemson in 30 years since a 45-0 shutout loss in 1989.

Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp did not want to list the things he be-lieves caused his team to struggle, saying it would sound like excuses. “The bottom line is we weren’t productive and we need to get better,” he said.

GAME CHANGERCarolina’s defense executed a goal-line stand on Clemson’s first drive, then

Ryan Hilinski hit Shi Smith on the offense’s first play, a 21-yard reception. But later in that drive, Hilinski was picked off by Derion Kendrick and in that drive, Trevor Lawrence connected with Tee Higgins for a 10-yard touch-down, giving Clemson a lead it would never relinquish.

KEY STAT527 – Clemson gained 527 yards of offense in the game with a pair of 100-

yard receivers, while Carolina had 174 yards of total offense. Trevor Lawrence was 26-for-36 for 295 yards and three touchdowns while also being the Ti-gers’ leading rusher (66 yards).
