Gamecocks Rise with Swain’s TDs | Columbia News

South Carolina’s football team cruised to a 2-0 start with a gritty win over Towson, weathering lightning delays and minimal injuries. Key players stepped up across the board: Nitro Tuggle surged from sixth to third on the WR depth chart, while Matt Fuller and Christian Clark dominated the rushing game. Vicari Swain stole the show on special teams with two punt-return touchdowns — breaking a school record and proving why playmakers matter most.

Conference play looms next week against Mississippi State — but this win gave them exactly what they needed: momentum, experience, and confidence.
