Gamecocks Dominate in Historic Heat | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

South Carolina crushed Kent State 57-0 in a scorching, record-breaking heatwave—playing the hottest game ever at their stadium, with temps hitting 98°F and a heat index over 100. The Gamecocks dominated early, leading 43-0 by the end of the third quarter, and even cut the fourth quarter short to just 10 minutes. Remarkably, no player cramping occurred thanks to stellar conditioning from staff led by Yimy Rodriguez, Luke Day, and Jon Melia—so much so that Beamer awarded Rodriguez the game ball. He also thanked fans for braving the heat and medical staff for keeping everyone safe. Next up: Towson at 7 PM, when temps should be much more bearable.
