one of the great settings in all of college football and there will be over 70,000 packed in to Williams Bry Stadium this after to improve that stat this [Applause] season Wilson loses the football it's snapped out of the air and South Carolina will have it at the 2yd line tenacious pass rushers getting after the quarterback pops it in the air for the first turnover of the season for South Carolina sers gets a clean snap they'll hand it off to Rocket he Dives forward touchdown South Carolina push right here is a little quarterback keeper and let's see if that's enough no signal yet as they push Norris back out of the shotgun they give it to Sanders and they're going to say touchdown touchdown this time around for [Applause] rock time a charm his hands to the big running back kind of very similar feeling to what he was doing there up but they do punch it in here's the point after Alex Herrera connects on the first extra point of 2024 and South Carolina after a de they front seven actually front six for the Gamecock Wilson has time going up deep has a man Isaiah pige makes the catch pig to the 15 to the 10 dancing around Dives for the Pyon 72 yards is a year ago couple of touchdowns just posted a 72 y as the point after is up and good and we're quickly tied in seven when receivers get on top of the DBS great job splitting the two Defenders and running through then a perfectly thrown ball from Grant Wilson doesn't slow down the receiver that much he's able to catch it in stride and then hand off to Rocket Sanders breaks a couple of tackles he's out over the 35 to the 38 yd line will Jones want to get over 100 yards per game on the ground sers has some room cuts it back taken down inside the Old Dominion 40 yd line who's led the conf the country in tackles the last two years here's sers and he needed to get to the 28 he saw Oscar AdAway the third in at running back they will give it to him big hole off the right side he's down to the 15 yd line that's a enough for the red zone three split to the near side saers looking that way and he is hit and he'll be drop back at the 23 yd line career field goal a 40 Yer on the way high enough long enough and it is good enough Western Kentucky one Bryce Duke in that running back they'll hand it off to him big hole off the left side and welcome to the game Bryce he'll pick up a couple to try to push the limits Duke stays in the game at running back they'll fake it to him hit a little slant to Isaiah Paige he gets his arms underneath the football right at Midfield and that's another first pocket collapses right at the last moment Wilson just air mails it to his bench it is in the NFL I appreciate you guys how do you not like Xavier Legette how do you not like this pass rush from South Carolina Kyle Canard with a big lorris keeps it himself and he is out to the 35 they'll spot him I guess that run just involves so many more players defensively to have to worry about it pulling the big boys up front to create some space sers pushed back pressure comes sellers trying to dance around it can't do it dropped by Nowa COA the red a game last here he has been banged up coming into this game loose football picked up by the monarchs down the sideline Patrick Smith young pushed out of bounds inside the 10 and ODU Aaron Young is your tail back HS goes in motion looking that way and that one is picked off o Donald [Applause] Fortune second down McDow dancing around cuts it back try to get the edge and he's knocked over by his quarterback through the air in the pass game Rocket Sanders with a hand off left side trying to get a couple of yards for the first down I think he did get enough brought down by Ricardo Williams refocus themselves a little [Applause] bit pitches it out to Joshua Sim in the tight end and he's inside the 40 yd line that'll be a rocket Sanders stays in the game on a second 21 dump it off sets up a screen pass rocket cuts it back to the middle of the field he's back to the original line of scrimmage at the 40 y pressure comes immediately and Wilson is dumped by Dylan Stewart Wilson over the middle and that one is inom physical as it can be Jared Brown slides into the back field he'll get the handoff here coming around the edge has a first down runs into his own man he hit from 40 yards fake field goal Kai Kroger the holder Lofts it up to the end zone and it's

to the 36 ORS of disciplin Prince of [Applause] Tides little keeper by Wilson Odell odonnell fortun we would see that much from Grand 25 seconds and looks as though South Carolina is going to just try to get this one to the I know the pass game has not been effective here in the first half but zers is brought down that'll be enough for the play for this offense to get going Lor sers keeps it himself out over the 30 to the 33 yd line will Jones brings down that Big Frame field [Applause] they will hand it off to Rocket first down and a bunch more out over the 45 to the 46 yd line Patrick

to bring the house no one to account for the quarterback great job by the offensive line picking up the Blitz and then we talked about Wilson's ability to run the football and clean snap kick is on the way and it is no [Applause] [Music] good here's rocket Sanders first down to the 25 yd line it's football that you just don't talk a lot [Applause] about nice pace gets it to Van dous Jacobs
