Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason promised a “street fight” Saturday. It ended with a sloppy South Carolina victory by technical knockout.
The Gamecocks outgained the Commodores 534-284 but struggled to put the game away until late in the fourth quarter due to three turnovers, eventually getting out of their first road game of the season with a 37-14 victory. It was the first time South Carolina has surpassed 500 yards in an SEC game since Nov. 1, 2014 against Tennessee.
South Carolina (2-1 overall, 1-1 SEC) has now beaten Vanderbilt (2-2, 0-1) 10 straight times. It’s the Gamecocks longest winning streak against any conference team.
