Reed Morton opened the scoring with i
37-yard field goal two minutes into the
game. The field goal came after the
Gamecocks were unable to move the bal
past the 20-yard line. The drive included <
35-yard kickoff return and a 30-yard run b)
Brandon Bennett.
After a Nelson Welch field goal tied the
game, USC had its most successful drive ol
the afternoon. Stanley Pritchett and Mike
Reddick spearheaded a 84-yard drive thai
had three third-down conversions and an
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against
Clemson.
On the ensuing drive, the Tigers moved
the ball to the 28-yard line but were unable
