Game time is set for 12:21 p.m. ET at Williams-Brice Stadium (80,250) in Columbia. SEC TV has the regional broadcast with Dave Neal and Andre Ware in the booth and Cara Capuano roaming the sidelines. u This week s game culminates the annual Homecoming week on the campus of the University of South Carolina. It will be the third Homecoming game for the Gamecocks this season. They were the opponent for both Arkansas s and Missouri s Homecoming contests and spoiled both of those celebrations. u The Gamecocks are 6-2 on the season, 4-2 in SEC play. They opened with a non-conference win over North Carolina, then lost their SEC opener at Georgia before bouncing back with four consecutive wins. After suffering a last-second loss at Tennessee, they rebounded with a double-overtime win at No. 5 Missouri last week. u Mississippi State is 4-3 overall and 1-2 in league play. They alternated wins and losses through the first half of the season before snapping that trend with back-to-back wins over Bowling Green and Kentucky. u This is the 15th meeting between these two schools, but the first time they have met in Columbia since the 2007 season, a Gamecock win. Carolina also won the last meeting, a decision in Starkville in In fact, the Gamecocks have won each of the last six tilts between the two schools, with State s last win coming in 1999.

SETTING THE STAGE: The No. 14/16 South Carolina Gamecocks (6-2, 4-2 SEC) return home following a three-game road trip to open a four-game homestand against the Mississippi State Bulldogs (4-3, 1-2 SEC) on Saturday, November 2. Game time is set for 12:21 p.m. ET with Dave Neal and Andre Ware in the booth and Cara Capuano working the sidelines for SEC TV. Gino Torretta will have the national radio call for Touchdown Radio. Todd Ellis and Tommy Suggs handle the call for the Gamecock Radio Network with Langston Moore on the sidelines. WKNT (107.5 The Game) in Columbia is the flagship station for Gamecock Athletics. IS THERE A HEISMAN IN THE HOUSE?: There are at least three and more likely four former Heisman Trophy winners in the house this week. Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier (Florida) won the award in 1966, SEC TV analyst Andre Ware (Houston) was the 1989 winner and Touchdown Radio voice Gino Torretta (Miami, Fla.) captured the prestigious award in It s likely that South Carolina s own George Rogers (1980) will be on hand as well. A LITTLE HISTORY: 2013 marks the 120th season of intercollegiate football at the University of South Carolina, dating back to It is the 107th-consecutive year in which South Carolina has competed on the gridiron. The University did not field a team in either 1893 or Carolina is 24 games over the.500 mark with an all-time record of The Gamecocks were nine games under.500 until head coach Steve Spurrier took the reins in 2005, but are 33 games over since. SEC HISTORY: The 2013 season marks South Carolina s 22nd year in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina and Arkansas joined the league prior to the 1992 campaign. The Gamecocks earned their first SEC Eastern Division title in the 2010 season. The Gamecocks are all-time in SEC regular-season play, but are 21-9 since 2010 in conference action. CAROLINA VS. MISSISSIPPI STATE: This is the 15th game in a series that dates back to 1992, South Carolina s first season in the SEC. The 21-6 win by the Gamecocks on Oct. 17, 1992, was Carolina s first-ever SEC win. The Bulldogs won six of the next seven meetings between the two schools from South SOUTH CAROLINA VS.

For a gameby-game listing, please refer to page 16 of these notes. THE LAST TIME THEY MET: The Gamecocks used a solid defense and just enough offense to escape Starkville with a win over Mississippi State on October 15, The Gamecocks held the Bulldogs to under 300 yards of total offense and intercepted two passes, including a D.J. Swearinger theft at the Carolina 12-yard line with just over a minute left in the game to preserve the victory. Swearinger finished the day with a game- and career-high 12 tackles, earning co-sec Player of the Week honors. Offensively, the Gamecocks were stymied much of the afternoon, but put together a 12-play, 79-yard fourth-quarter drive that consumed 5:54 on the clock, culminating with a Connor Shaw four-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery for the winning score. Bruce Ellington figured in on that final drive, returning the kick for 17 yards, rushing twice out of the Wildcat formation for 14 yards, completing a pass for eight yards and catching a pass for another eight yards. His efforts garnered him co- Freshman of the Week honors in the SEC.

Kenny McKinley caught four passes for 107 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the contest. The Gamecocks rolled up 402 yards of offense while limiting Mississippi State to just 258, including 118 through the air. BOWL ELIGIBLE: South Carolina is off to a 6-2 start and are bowl-eligible for the 10th-straight year. It s the seventh-straight season that the Gamecocks have opened with at least six wins in their first eight games. GOOD HOME COOKIN : The Gamecocks have won their last 14 games at Williams-Brice Stadium. Carolina is 30-3 in its last 33 home games. The only home losses since the beginning of the 2009 season came to top-ranked Florida in 2009, to 17th-ranked Arkansas in 2010 and to defending national champion Auburn in The Gamecocks 14-game home winning streak is tied with Ohio State for the second-longest in the nation, trailing only Michigan (19). TOP HOME STREAKS: The Gamecocks have won 14-straight home games, their longest stretch since joining the SEC and tying for the second-longest streak in school history. Only a 15-game home winning streak from has been longer. Here are the top home winning streaks in school history: YEARS WINS SNAPPED BY Ole Miss (current) 14 TBD Florida State PERFECT AT HOME: The Gamecocks are 3-0 at home this season with four home games remaining. They went 7-0 at home in It marked the first time they ran the table at home since joining the SEC. The last time they had gone undefeated at home prior to 2012 was in They have been undefeated and untied at home 10 times. THE LAST TIME OUT: The No. 20/20 Gamecocks traveled to Columbia, Mo. for the first time and made history with a double-overtime win over the No. 5 Tigers. The Gamecocks rallied from a 17-0 fourthquarter deficit to win an overtime game for the first time in school history. It was also the first double-overtime game in Carolina history. Connor Shaw was the hero, coming off the bench in the second half to hit 20-of- 29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He led Carolina to scores on each of its last five possessions. Along with Dylan Thompson, the Gamecocks threw for 423 yards, the most in the Spurrier Era. Bruce Ellington caught a career-high 10 passes for a careerhigh 136 yards and two scores, including a 15-yard reception on a fourth-and-goal in the first overtime period. Mike Davis added 10 receptions for 99 yards and totaled 150 all-purpose yards. Kelcy Quarles led the defense with six tackles including 3.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Elliott Fry s 40-yard field goal in the second OT proved to be the game-winner. BEST SOUTH CAROLINA WINS BY RANKINGS: The Gamecocks win over No. 5 Missouri matched the fourth-best win in school history by the A.P. rankings. It was the second-best road win, topped only by the 1981 win at No. 3 North Carolina. Here are Carolina s top wins by rankings. Note that four of the top 5 have come in the last five seasons: Date Opponent A.P. Rank Score 10/09/10 vs Alabama /24/81 at North Carolina /24/09 vs Ole Miss /06/12 vs Georgia /26/13 at Missouri /24/88 vs Georgia /04/07 vs Kentucky /21/87 vs Clemson /14/53 at West Virginia /09/00 vs Georgia /23/58 vs Clemson COMEBACK OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS: The Gamecocks rallied from 17 points down in the fourth quarter on the road to the No. 5 team in the country, which would be considered as one of the greatest come-from-behind wins in school history. It was the largest comeback by the Gamecocks at any point of a game since rallying from a 17-point second-quarter deficit vs. East Carolina on Sept. 3, BUT PROBABLY NOT THE G.O.A.T.: Although it didn t have the same conference and national implications as last week s win at Missouri, Carolina s win at North Carolina on September 28, 1968 has to be recognized as the greatest of all time, at least in modern times. The Gamecocks trailed in that one, 27-3, entering the fourth quarter, but scored 29 points in 10:01 to pull out the victory. Playing the role that Connor Shaw reprised last Saturday was none other than Tommy Suggs back in the summer of 68. The greatest comeback of any team I ve ever been associated with, said head coach Paul Dietzel after the win. JUST GO FOR IT: The Gamecocks lead the country in fourth-down conversions made, keeping the drive alive 14 times on a fourth-down play, one ahead of Kentucky (13-of-18). Only California (10-for-25) and Idaho (10- for-22) have attempted more fourth-down opportunities than Carolina s 21. Interestingly, those three other schools have combined for a 3-20 record. BETTER THAN AVERAGE: The South Carolina defense has held six of its eight opponents below their season scoring average, with four of the eight held double-digits below that average. Only Georgia and Kentucky scored more against the Gamecocks than they have on average this season. Overall, Carolina is holding its opponents to a touchdown less a game than they are accustomed to scoring. Here are the numbers: OPPONENT PTS. VS. SC AVG. PPG DIFF.

It was the most passes attempted, the most passes completed and the most yards passing in the Steve Spurrier Era at South Carolina. The previous highs were 53 attempts (at Georgia in 2009), 34 completions (at Tennessee in 2007) and 397 yards (vs. East Carolina in 2012). It was also the most passing yards since the Gamecocks completed 40-of-46 passes for 490 yards at Mississippi State on Oct. 14, Steve Taneyhill did most of the work that day, completing 38-of-44 for a school-record 473 yards. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN: Bruce Ellington (10 for 136 yards) and Mike Davis (10 for 99 yards) became the first tandem of Gamecock receivers to reach doubledigits in receptions in the same game since Stanley Pritchett (12 for 113) and Zola Davis (11 for 185) accomplished the feat at Mississippi State on October 14, Both the receptions and receiving yards were career highs for both Ellington and Davis. STAYING ON THE FIELD: Carolina s offense had been one of the best teams in the country in logging the fewest three-and-outs this season. Of their first 60 offensive drives, the Gamecocks had just seven threeand-outs. In the loss at Tennessee, they were held in check with six three-and-outs among their 14 drives, including all three drives in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. That trend seemed to continue as they went 3-and-out on the first two drives against Missouri before getting into a rhythm. For the season, Carolina has been held to three-and-out just 15 times in 88 drives, 17.0 percent of the time, the nation s sixth-best mark. That has helped them control the clock, ranking 30th in the nation in time of possession at 32:13 per game. Carolina has scored on 41-of-88 drives, 46.6 percent, with 33 touchdowns.

Connor Shaw Stephen Garcia Blake Mitchell Chris Smelley Syvelle Newton Dylan Thompson Tommy Beecher Antonio Heffner THROWN IN THE WIND: Junior Dylan Thompson, a 6-3, 218-pounder from Boiling Springs, S.C., is waiting in the wings if Shaw is unable to answer the bell and has proven to be more than adequate. In 2012, Thompson led the Gamecocks to wins over East Carolina and Clemson in his two starts, throwing for over 300 yards on both occasions. He was 7-of-10 for 117 yards and two touchdowns in the bowl win over Michigan, including the game-winning 32-yard pass to Bruce Ellington with 11 seconds remaining in the contest. In 2013, Thompson completed a 29-yard TD pass to Kane Whitehurst in the season opener against North Carolina, the only snap he took from scrimmage in that game. In his first series against Vanderbilt he led the team on a eight-play, 76- yard drive that culminated with his three-yard TD run. He played most of the game at UCF, completing 15-of- 32 passes for 261 yards. He was 4-of-5 for 38 yards and a touchdown in the win at Arkansas. He made his first start of the 2013 season at Missouri and went 15- of-27 for 222 yards with one INT. For the season, he is 44-of-78 (56.4 percent) for 643 yards and two TD s with three interceptions.

He became the 41st player in school history to reach the 1,000-yard plateau for his career. The Lithonia, Ga. product had 115 yards in the season opener against North Carolina, 149 at UGA, was held to 77 by Vanderbilt before rebounding with a career-high 167 yards in the win at UCF, then logged 106 against Kentucky before going for 128 at Arkansas and 137 at Tennessee. He was held to a season-low 51 yards last week at Missouri but added 99 receiving yards. Davis is the SEC s leading rusher, averaging yards per contest, is second in all-purpose yardage at yards per game, and is tied for fourth in scoring at 7.5 points per game. Davis ranks 12th in the nation in rushing and 13th in all-purpose yards. He has scored a touchdown in seven of eight game this season with 10 TDs total. A SEASON TO REMEMBER: Mike Davis is closing in on 1,000 yards for the season. Davis has 930 yards through eight games.

Mike Davis has logged four of those in his first two seasons. He had a 50-yarder as a true freshman against UAB last season. His 75-yard burst against North Carolina in the 2013 season opener and his first career start was the longest by a Gamecock since Bobby Wallace went for 88 against Middle Tennessee in 2006, and tied for the 12th-longest run in school history. He matched that with another 75-yard burst at Georgia, playing for the first time as a collegian in his home state. Of the 14 runs in school history of 75 yards or longer, Davis is the only one to do it twice. His fourth-career 50-yard jaunt came at UCF, a 53-yard TD run.

He topped that with a 10-catch, 136-yard, 2-touchdown effort last week at Missouri. For the season, he has a team-high 31 catches for a team-best 468 yards with five touchdowns, including two against both Arkansas and Missouri. Ellington went over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for his career in the win at UCF. With 13 career touchdown receptions he is tied for ninth on Carolina s all-time list.

His TD catches came from 18 and 30 yards out. His previous highs were four receptions (4 times) and 78 receiving yards. He had just one career touchdown coming into the season, but has found paydirt four times in For the season, he has 21 catches for 203 yards and four scores.

Brent Kwinton Smith Kane Whitehurst Pharoh Cooper HANGIN WITH MR. COOPER: Pharoh Cooper is starting to make his presence felt. The true freshman has taken the direct snap in the wildcat formation. He had two carries for 26 yards against Kentucky, then carried four times for 45 yards against Arkansas, including a 33-yard burst. He also took over the punt and kickoff return duties against the Razorbacks and logged a 36-yard punt return, the longest by a Gamecock this season. STELLAR TIGHT ENDS: The Gamecocks are blessed with a pair of standout tight ends. Junior Rory Busta Anderson is an All-SEC candidate. He came into the season with eight touchdown receptions among his 22 career catches. Sophomore Jerell Adams averaged over 22 yards a catch on just four receptions last season, and has maintained that average this season. The two combined for six catches and 86 receiving yards in the win at Missouri. With Anderson checking in at 6-5, 242, and Adams at 6-6, 237, both can present a matchup advantage. CAROLINA TIGHT ENDS 2013 Career Player Rec-Yards-TD Rec-Yards-TD Rory Anderson Jerell Adams Drew Owens THE O-LINE: The Gamecocks boast a veteran offensive line with four returning starters. Junior left guard A.J. Cann is the most experienced of the group with 32 career starts, the most on the squad, and is an All- SEC candidate. He was a midseason first-team All-SEC selection by Phil Steele. Senior right guard Ronald Patrick started all 13 games last season and has started 20 of the last 21 games, missing the Tennessee contest with a high ankle sprain. Junior left tackle Corey Robinson started nine of the final 10 games a season ago, while right tackle Brandon Shell was a Freshman All-American while making 10 starts in The two tackles have started every game this season. The lone newcomer is at center, where a pair of redshirt freshmen, Cody Waldrop and Clayton Stadnik have split time. Waldrop started the opener, but suffered a foot sprain in the win over North Carolina. He was replaced by Stadnik, who started the next two games before Waldrop returned to face UCF. Waldrop has continued to be plagued by injuries, so Stadnik has started the last four games. Clayton s twin brother, Brock, is also a member of the Carolina offensive line, and was the more highlyrecruited of the two. The two played side-by-side at the collegiate level for the first time in the win at Arkansas. AS GOOD AS IT GETS: The 2013 Gamecocks feature one of the game s top players in junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Clowney, who is regarded by most as the top defensive player in the country and a likely top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, was just the second Gamecock to earn unanimous All-America honors in 2012, joining George Rogers from his Heisman Trophy season in Clowney was named the Hendricks Award winner as the nation s top defensive end, and the All-America Player of the Year, presented by AT&T as selected by the fans on ESPN.com. He finished sixth in the Heisman race and was a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and the Bednarik Award after being named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year by the league s coaches. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: Coming off his trip to L.A. to receive the ESPY Award for the top play of the year, Jadeveon Clowney is back to cause havoc for quarterbacks around the southeast. As a sophomore, Clowney set school records last season for sacks in a game (4.5 at Clemson), sacks in a season (13.0) and tackles for loss in a season (23.5). The 6-6, 274-pounder was on everyone s preseason All-America list and a legitimate candidate for all the national awards. With 2.0 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss this season, he continues to move up the all-time Carolina charts in those categories. In addition, he has a school-record nine career forced fumbles. Here s where he ranks on Carolina s all-time lists after just two-plus seasons: CAREER TACKLES FOR LOSS 1.

Junior Kelcy Quarles, an All-SEC candidate, is reaping the benefits of the attention Clowney draws. Quarles leads the team and is second in the SEC in both sacks (7.0) and tackles for loss (10.0), already surpassing his 2012 totals of 3.5 sacks and 8.0 TFLs.

He is tied for seventh in the SEC in scoring among kickers, averaging 6.9 points per game. He became the first true freshman placekicker to kick in the Gamecocks season opener since Courtney Leavitt in HULL OF A PUNTER: Junior Tyler Hull is in his second season as the Gamecocks punter. The 6-2, 206-pounder from Mount Airy, N.C. spent his first season at Guilford College before transferring to South Carolina just prior to the start of the 2012 campaign.

They share the same father, Gerald Dixon Sr., who played at Carolina in the early 90s. THE LEGACY CONTINUES: The Gamecocks roster features four players whose fathers also donned the Garnet & Black: junior defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles and his father, Buddy ( ); sophomore defensive linemen Gerald Dixon and Gerald Dixon Jr. and their father, Gerald ( ); and redshirt freshman Jordan Diggs and his father, Shed ( ).

Jeffery 4-yard pass from C. Shaw (Wooten kick) ( :54) th 0:00 MSU Team safety STARKVILLE, MISS. unior wide receiver Alshon Jeffery hauled in a 4-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Connor Shaw for the game-winning touchdown with 3:50 remaining to lift No. 15/13 South Carolina to a comeback win over Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon at Scott Field. The Gamecocks trailed 10-7 with 9:50 left in the fourth quarter but they put together a 12-play, 79-yard scoring drive to take their first lead of the contest on Jeffery s touchdown reception. Jeffery outleaped two defenders to come down with the reception, which moved him into sole possession second place on the school s all-time list for touchdown receptions with 20, trailing only Sidney Rice s ( ) 23. It was a struggle. We had a bunch of bad plays, but somehow or another Conner (Shaw) found Alshon (Jeffery) on the jump ball, said head coach Steve Spurrier, who collected his 50th win at the helm of the South Carolina program on Saturday. We had been trying to get the jump ball thrown all day and he finally threw it perfect instead of out of the ballpark like the earlier one. Junior defensive back D.J. Swearinger sealed the win by intercepting a pass from Mississippi State quarterback Tyler Russell on the ensuing possession. With the win, the Gamecocks (6-1, 4-1 SEC) become bowl eligible for the eighth straight year. It is also South Carolina s fifth straight true road win, which is a school record. Shaw shook off two interceptions to complete 20-of-28 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. The Flowery Branch, Ga., native also added 28 yards on the ground. Freshman Bruce Ellington played a key role in the offensive scheme as he rushed for 25 yards, completed 2-of-3 passes for 24 yards and caught four passes for 32 yards. Sophomore running back Marcus Lattimore, who left the game in the fourth quarter with an injury, had 17 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. Lattimore now has 30 career touchdowns and is just three shy of the school record of 33 set by George Rogers ( ) and Harold Green ( ). He also moved into 14th all-time in school history in rushing yards with 2,015, becoming just the 15th player in school history to surpass the 2,000-yard mark. The Gamecock defense held the Bulldogs to 296 yards of offense on the day led by a careerhigh 12 tackles from Swearinger. Senior spur Antonio Allen added 10 stops, including one for a loss. The Bulldogs (3-4, 0-4) struck first with a 10-play, 69-yard scoring drive. Russell found Chris Smith across the middle for a 19-yard scoring strike to cap the drive, giving Mississippi State a 7-0 lead at the 1:09 mark of the first quarter. The Gamecocks answered in the second quarter with a 13-play, 80-yard drive, with Ellington and Lattimore doing a majority of the damage. Ellington caught three passes for 24 yards, rushed one time for three yards and threw a 16-yard pass to Lattimore. Lattimore also had three rushes for 18 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown run to end the drive and knot the game at 7-7. South Carolina threatened to take the lead less than two minutes later after Reginald Bowens intercepted a Russell pass and returned it 19 yards to the Bulldog 11-yard line. But Mississippi State returned the favor, as Johnthan Banks intercepted a Shaw pass in the end zone, leaving the contest tied at 7-7 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Mississippi State regained the lead on a 22-yard field goal by Derek DePasquale with 9:50 remaining, but the Gamecocks responded with the game-winning drive capped by Jeffery s 4-yard touchdown reception from Shaw. Russell completed 11-of-29 passes for 165 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, while Vick Ballard added 67 yards rushing on 20 carries for the Bulldogs.

Spurrier was introduced as Carolina s 32nd head coach on Nov. 23, Coach Spurrier has compiled a (.729) won-loss record in 24 seasons as a major college head coach, including a mark (.649) at Carolina. He became the 71st collegiate coach (all divisions) and the 22nd in Division I to record 200 career victories when he defeated UAB on Sept. 15, 2012 and logged his 250th all-time coaching win against Georgia on October 6, Coach Spurrier surpassed Rex Enright s school record for wins when he logged number 65 at Clemson in the 2012 season finale. In doing so, he joined the great Bear Bryant as the only coaches to boast the most coaching victories at two different SEC schools. He led the Duke Blue Devils to the 1989 Atlantic Coast Conference championship before returning to his alma mater, the University of Florida, as head coach in During his 12 seasons with the Gators, Spurrier s teams won seven Southeastern Conference championships, one national title and finished ranked in the nation s top 10 nine times. His record at Florida was an amazing (.817). Spurrier, who won the 1966 Heisman Trophy as a quarterback for the Gators, was also head coach of the NFL s Washington Redskins ( ). He returned to the college ranks in 2005 after a one-year absence from the sidelines. In his first season at South Carolina, Coach Spurrier led the Gamecocks to a 7-5 record and a second-place finish in the SEC Eastern Division. In doing so, he posted a five-game winning streak, the 15th-consecutive year in which he has had a fivegame winning streak, something no other coach in college history has accomplished. He was honored as the SEC Coach of the Year by the Associated Press after leading the Gamecocks to a school-record five straight SEC wins, their first win ever at Tennessee and their first win over Florida since the 1930s. He came back with an 8-5 record in 2006, just the ninth time in school history that the Gamecocks posted eight or more wins in a season. The season was capped with a Liberty Bowl win over C-USA champion Houston. In his third season with the Garnet & Black, Spurrier s squad raced out to a 6-1 record and moved as high as No. 6 in the BCS rankings, before finishing the campaign with a 6-6 record. With 21 wins, he set the Carolina record for coaching victories after three seasons at the helm. With a 7-6 record in 2008, Carolina returned to a New Year s Day bowl game for the first time since the 2001 season. The Gamecocks followed that up with another 7-6 record in 2009, their sixth-consecutive non-losing season, the longest stretch in school history since The 2009 season included a win over No. 4 Ole Miss, only the second time in school history that Carolina had defeated a top-five team. His 2010 Gamecock squad posted several milestones en route to a 9-5 season, the biggest of which was the school s first SEC Eastern Division title and first appearance in the SEC Championship. The Gamecocks also defeated the nation s No. 1 team, Alabama, for the first time in school history, and finished the season ranked 22nd in both major national polls. He was named SEC Coach of the Year for the seventh time, his ninth overall Coach of the Year honor. The Gamecocks continued to make history in 2011, winning a school record 11 games and finishing in the the top-10 in the final A.P. poll for the first time. The squad also won a Coach OF THE YEAR 2010 South Carolina 2005 South Carolina 1996 Florida 1995 Florida 1994 Florida 1991 Florida 1990 Florida 1989 Duke 1988 Duke Versus Mississippi State (7-2) Date Site Score 09/29/90 Gainesville W, /28/91 Starkville W, /01/92 Starkville L, /02/93 Gainesville W, /30/00 Starkville L, /29/01 Gainesville W, /31/06 Starkville W, /29/07 Columbia W, /15/11 Starkville W, Did You Know...

29 Game 1 #6/7 South Carolina 27, North Carolina 10 August 29, 2013 Williams-Brice Stadium Columbia, S.C. 81,572 COLUMBIA,S.C Quick offensive strikes from Connor Shaw and Mike Davis helped No. 6/7 South Carolina (1-0) dispatch of North Carolina (0-1) in the college football season opener at Williams-Brice Stadium. On the third play from scrimmage, the senior quarterback Shaw found sophomore wide receiver Shaq Roland over the middle for a 65-yard touchdown strike, putting the Gamecocks in the lead 7-0. The 82-yard drive marked the quickest score for South Carolina in a season in the SEC era (since 1992). Shaw ended the contest going 11-for-20 for 149 yards and the one TD pass while adding 43 yards on the ground.

30 Game 2 #11/12 Georgia 41, #6/6 South Carolina 30 Sept. 7, 2013 Sanford Stadium Athens, Ga. 92,746 ATHENS, Ga. A back and forth affair went to the No. 11/12 Georgia Bulldogs as the No. 6/6 South Carolina Gamecocks fell in front of sellout crowd of 92,746 fans at Sanford Stadium. It was a day for the offense as the Gamecocks and Bulldogs combined for 990 total yards. South Carolina rushed for 226 with 228 in the air while Georgia rushed for 227 and passed for 309 in the contest. South Carolina took the opening drive 57 yards to set up for a 36-yard field goal by Elliot Fry to take an early 3-0 lead. The Gamecocks mixed the pass with the run including a pair of third-down conversions that featured a 14-yard pass completion by Connor Shaw to Nick Jones and a 21-yard rush by Mike Davis. Georgia answered the Gamecocks on its opening drive that was capped by a three-yard touchdown pass by Aaron Murray to tight end Arthur Lynch. The Bulldogs drove deep into South Carolina territory on a 32-yard pass completion from Murray to Michael Bennett and a 19-yard rush by Gurley. With 2nd & goal on the 3, Murray play faked and found Lynch in the end zone to give the Bulldogs a 7-3 lead. The Bulldogs showed some trickery following the touchdown as they went with an onside kick that was recovered by cornerback Blake Sailors to give Georgia another possession on their own 48-yard line. The Bulldogs made its way into Carolina territory for a second consecutive possession and went into the red zone after a 4th & 13 completion from Murray to Scott-Wesley. Inside the Gamecocks 10-yard line, Carolina held tough and UGA settled for a Patrick Beless 22-yard field goal to extend the advantage to The Bulldogs went seven plays and 69 yards to increase the lead to 17-3 on a six-yard touchdown pass from Murray to Keith Marshall. After Jadeveon Clowney netted his first sack of the season, the Bulldogs made up for the 10-yard loss with a 16-yard rush by Marshall followed by a 15-yard face mask penalty on the Gamecock defense. South Carolina responded with a 12-play, 84-yard drive to answer the Bulldogs and cut the deficit to seven points. Davis was key for the Gamecocks as he had a 23-yard rush to begin the drive and a three-yard carry on 4th & 2 at the UGA 11 to keep the drive going. The Gamecocks would punch it in the end zone on a seven-yard carry by Brandon Wilds. The Gamecock defense forced a three-and-out for the Bulldogs on the next possession. South Carolina then caught a break as punter Collin Barber mishandled the snap allowing the Gamecocks to recover on the UGA 18-yard line. South Carolina rode the momentum of the punt mishap and responded quickly to tie it up at 17 as Shaw found Jones in the corner of the end zone on the first play for an 18-yard touchdown. The pendulum swung to Georgia as the Bulldogs went 11 plays in 70 yards in the ensuing drive to reclaim a lead. Gurley again was a focal point for Georgia with seven carries for 46 yards including a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:42 remaining in the half. South Carolina answered one more time to tie the game at 24 going into halftime. With three timeouts and 1:38 remaining on the Carolina 29-yard line, Shaw manufactured an 11-pla,y 70- yard drive capped by a 30-yard touchdown pass to Nick Jones. The Bulldogs capitalized on Carolina s first turnover of the season to go ahead on Beless second field goal of the game, this one from 37 yards. The Gamecocks were driving and appeared to convert a fourth down but quarterback Connor Shaw fumbled right before his knee hit the ground, allowing the Bulldogs to take over on the Georgia 25-yard line. Georgia extended the lead to near the end of the quarter on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Murray to Gurley. The Bulldogs went 13 plays for 82 yards with Murray finding Gurley on third down, just eluding the sack attempt by Carolina defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles. South Carolina dug deep and responded again as Davis tallied a 75-yard run from scrimmage to end the third quarter and move the Gamecocks into scoring position at the Georgia five-yard line. Three plays later, Davis scored on a three-yard touchdown. The extra point attempt sailed left as Georgia stayed ahead with 13:55 remaining in the game. With Georgia 3rd & 13 on their own 15-yard line, Murray eluded another Gamecock sack attempt and found Scott-Wesley behind the Gamecock defensive backfield for a completion. Scott-Wesley took it down the sideline and into the end zone to give Georgia a lead with 13 minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

Shaw threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns on 21-for-29 passing while also leading the Gamecocks in rushing with 84 yards on 19 carries. Junior wide receiver Bruce Ellington made a career-best eight catches for 111 yards and a score, while sophomore running back Mike Davis added 144 all-purpose yards (77 rushing, 67 receiving) in the victory. Sophomore running back Brandon Wilds caught his first career TD pass, while junior Nick Jones also had a TD catch. South Carolina scored on its first four possessions of the game. The first, set up by Ellington s 12-yard punt return to the Vandy 42, needed just six plays, with all the yards (27 passing, 15 rushing) coming from Shaw. Shaw hit Jones with a bullet toward the back of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown pass. The second Gamecock drive went much longer, as it took 11 plays to cover 93 yards. Davis capped the drive with a four-yard run. The biggest play came on Davis 38-yard catch-and-run from Shaw that put South Carolina on the Vandy 24. Junior quarterback Dylan Thompson piloted the third drive, an eight-play, 76-yard one that ended with his three-yard draw for the score. He went 5-for-5 for 67 yards, with all five passes going for first downs. The second quarter saw the Gamecocks keep rolling, scoring an eightyard, 92-yard drive. Shaw hit Ellington in traffic from 26 yards out for the score, the third catch of the drive for the junior. He also had a three-yard grab and a 39-yard catch as well in the sequence. Vanderbilt (1-2, 0-2 SEC) scored late in the first half on Jerron Seymour s one-yard run. Steven Clarke s 69-yard interception of Thompson s pass set up the one-play, one-yard score. It was the first interception given up by the Gamecocks in 72 pass attempts in The Commodores added a 54-yard field goal from Carey Spear as the half ended. South Carolina outgained Vanderbilt in the first half and ran 52 plays to Vandy s 24. The Gamecocks put up another touchdown on their first possession of the second half when Wilds caught a 33-yard TD pass from Shaw, finishing the 10-play, 75-yard drive in 4:38. On the ensuing Vandy possession, the Commodores drove deep into Gamecock territory before junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney sacked VU s Austyn Carta-Samuels and forced a fumble, which senior defensive tackle Kelsey Quarles recovered, ending that Vandy threat. But the Commodores kept coming, scoring early in the fourth quarter on Carta-Samuels one-yard run, which ended a 10-play, 45-yard drive. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by the Gamecocks, setting up Wesley Tate s 19-yard reception from Carta-Samuels for the score. The two-point pass to tight end Steven Schue was good, making it in favor of South Carolina. After a stalled Vanderbilt drive, the punt hit a Gamecock defender, and VU s Darrius Sims recovered, giving the Commodores another life. But senior cornerback Jimmy Legree picked off the Carta-Samuel pass on the goal line, the first interception by a Gamecock in The Gamecocks, taking over at the one-yard line, ran the clock down to a minute before turning the ball over on downs at the Vanderbilt 36.

32 Game 4 #12/13 South Carolina 28, UCF 25 September 28, 2013 Bright House Networks Stadium Orlando, Fla. 47,605 ORLANDO, Fla. Behind a huge second half from sophomore running back Mike Davis, South Carolina (3-1) picked up a hard-fought road win at UCF (3-1) at Bright House Networks Stadium on Saturday afternoon. In front of a broadcast TV audience on ABC, Davis ran for a career-best 167 yards on 26 carries, scoring three times to lead South Carolina s comeback effort after being down 10-0 at half. Junior quarterback Dylan Thompson came in after an injury to senior Connor Shaw and threw for 261 yards while also running for a score in the victory. Davis put the Gamecocks on the board just four plays into the second half with his 53-yard dash to the end zone. Davis had three of the four carries in the quick scoring drive. After the Gamecock defense forced a three-and-out, South Carolina drove again until another fumble, this by sophomore running back Brandon Wilds, ended the chance. But South Carolina s defense stepped up again and stopped the Knights from getting a first down. The Gamecocks took the lead on the next drive when Thompson ran for two-yard score after rolling out right and seeing the opening. Freshman Elliott Fry s PAT capped an 11-play, 97-yard drive, the longest drive of the year by yards for South Carolina. Senior cornerback Jimmy Legree intercepted a Blake Bortles pass and returned it 21 yard, setting up the next Gamecock score, as Davis carried a defender for the last bit of his 13-yard score that after the Fry kick became for the visitors. Davis put his third ball in the end zone with another 13-yard score, giving South Carolina a lead early in the fourth quarter. UCF kept fighting, getting big throws from its senior quarterback Bortles in scoring the final 15 points of the contest. Bortles twice found Rannell Hall for scores, first a 73-yard catch-and-run before a seven-yard strike with 1:54 remaining in the game. The ensuing onside attempt by the Knights was gathered by Gamecock junior wide receiver Bruce Ellington, who returned it 31 yards. The Gamecocks took a knee three times to run out the clock to take the win. The Knights held a 10-0 lead at halftime, scoring on the first drive of the game in 4:55 after Storm Johnson s one-yard run and a second-quarter Shawn Moffitt 27-yard field goal. UCF had fortunes on their side, recovering both of their own fumbles while getting the lone Gamecock fumble of the first half, which came on the play that knocked South Carolina s starting quarterback Shaw from the contest with a strained right shoulder. The Gamecocks had a chance toward the end of the second quarter after junior cornerback Victor Hampton intercepted the Bortles pass with 1:17 left. Thompson drove the Gamecocks to the UCF 28 before a penalty ended the momentum and took the Gamecocks out of field goal range. The final play of the half saw Thompson get hit as he threw, altering the flight of the ball to allow Sean Maag to intercept it at the UCF 20. The Knights only had 32 more yards of offense ( ) than the Gamecocks in the first 30 minutes of play but held the 10-0 lead. South Carolina picked off three passes in the contest, one each for Hampton, Legree and redshirt freshman T.J. Holloman, the most by a Gamecock team since last season s East Carolina contest. Sophomore Gerald Dixon also picked up a fumble recovery. Both teams forced three fumbles, but the Knights kept two of theirs.

South Carolina (5-1, 3-1 SEC) posted its most complete game of the season with an astounding offensive performance to defeat Arkansas (3-4, 0-3 SEC) on Saturday afternoon at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The Gamecock offense held the ball for 43:25 of the contest, posting 537 yards on 89 plays, compared to Arkansas 248 on 37 plays. Senior quarterback Connor Shaw threw for three touchdown and 219 yards in 19-for-28 passing and added a rushing TD as well. Sophomore running back Mike Davis ran for 128 yards and a score on 19 carries, and junior wide receiver Bruce Ellington caught six passes for 96 yards and two TDs. Arkansas opened the game with a 7-play, 65-yard, capped by Alex Collins 6-yard run. South Carolina had a drive stall deep in Arkansas territory, but freshman Elliott Fry salvaged it with a 33-yard field goal. The Gamecock defense took over, holding Arkansas to one first down after that opening drive. Two plays after that last first down, Gamecock junior Victor Hampton intercepted Brandon Allen s pass and returned it to the Arkansas 6-yard line. Davis scored on the next play to give South Carolina the 10-7 advantage. Davis dominated play in the first quarter, gaining 63 yards on just eight carries. The Gamecocks stretched the lead to 17-7 when Shaw found Ellington wide open in the end zone from 9 yards out early in the second quarter. South Carolina drove deep into Razorback territory before a Shaw fumble gave Arkansas the ball back. A three-and-out forced another Hog punt, when Sam Irwin-Hill boomed one 79 yards that resulted in a touchback. After the long punt, Arkansas forced the only Gamecock punt of the half before getting the ball back near midfield. Two running plays got Arkansas to their own 49, but an incomplete pass put Arkansas at fourth down again. The pass on the fake punt fell incomplete, giving the Gamecocks the short field. It took 12 plays to cover the ground, and Shaw hit Ellington from four yards out to give the Gamecocks the 24-7 lead just before the half. Shaw threw for 149 yards while Ellington had 96 receiving yards, both getting two scores. The Gamecocks added two more touchdowns in the third quarter, first on the initial drive of the second half, ended by junior Damiere Byrd s 45-yard catch from Shaw. Then the Gamecocks, after senior cornerback Jimmy Legree stripped Keon Hatcher after a long run, embarked on the second-longest drive time-wise of head coach Steve Spurrier s tenure. South Carolina ran 9:29 off the clock, and Shaw ended it on the 15th play by scrambling in from 10 yards out. Kane Whitehurst scored in his return to Arkansas, reeling in a 15-yard pass from junior Dylan Thompson for the sixth South Carolina touchdown. Redshirt freshman Brendan Nosovitch scored the final Gamecock touchdown with his 7-yard run with 1:07 left in the contest. South Carolina s defense limited the Arkansas offense to seven first downs in the contest. Allen struggled all game, going 4-for-12 for 30 yards passing with one interception.
