For Skai Moore, dominant defensive sendoff ‘means the world’

South Carolina linebacker Skai Moore had to settle for a tie in the record book, but he got a sendoff any defensive stalwart would take.

One of the most decorated and accomplished players in the history of the Gamecocks strapped up for the final time Monday in the Outback Bowl. He’d been a prolific star for defenses that fell from a lofty height when he arrived and built their way back up, overcoming an injury that cost him a year and delayed his NFL plans.

And he got to leave on a 9-4 football team with a defensive shellacking of Michigan.
