Gamecocks Dominate in Historic Heat | Columbia News

South Carolina crushed Kent State 57-0 in a scorching, record-breaking heatwave that forced a shortened second half — and fans paid the price with empty student sections and free water handouts. Despite the brutal conditions, the Gamecocks’ offense exploded for over 600 yards, led by QB LaNorris Sellers’ flawless 83% passing day (270 yards, 3 TDs) and a dominant line that allowed just one sack. Donovan Murph and Nyck Harbor shined in the air, while the running game added 278 yards. It was South Carolina’s highest-scoring game since their Tennessee showdown in 2022 — and their first shutout under Shane Beamer since 2021. Momentum is building as they prepare to face Towson next Saturday at 7 PM on SEC Network Plus. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
