South Carolina Scores Eight Touchdowns and Shuts Out Kent State
Kent State's offense gained 179 yards. South Carolina's gained 653. South Carolina won 57-0, and the only interesting question is which side of that ledger you would rather explain.
Eight touchdowns, no field goals. Matt Fuller opened with a seven-yard run in the first quarter. Early in the second, LaNorris Sellers threw an 18-yard touchdown to Mazeo Bennett Jr., and the Gamecocks went for two and got it (Maurice Brown II to Brady Hunt), which made it 15-0. Jabree Coleman broke a 60-yard run for 22-0, and Donovan Murph caught a 29-yarder with 1:10 left in the half. That was 29-0 at the break.
Murph got another from Sellers early in the third quarter, 37 yards this time, for 36-0. Cutter Woods then threw a seven-yard touchdown to Mike Tyler (43-0). Isaiah Augustave scored from a yard out in the fourth quarter, and Coleman finished it with a five-yard run with 2:26 left.
South Carolina had 367 passing yards and 286 rushing yards on 38 rushing attempts, and committed no turnovers. Kent State had 79 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and threw one interception. Its rushing was the only part that held up, 100 yards on 25 attempts (four a carry), which was about the best news the Golden Flashes had all day. Sellers was 19 of 23 for 270 yards and three touchdowns.
South Carolina is 1-0, Kent State 0-1. Sellers led all scorers with 28.9 Promethium points, and he did it with two carries for one yard. Murph caught only four passes, but two were touchdowns, and Coleman had four carries, two of them touchdowns. Fantasy football remains easy when your team scores 57.
