The redshirt sophomore defensive back delivered another special teams masterclass on Saturday night in Columbia, returning two punts for touchdowns as the No. 10 Gamecocks defeated SC State 38-10. Swain now has three punt-return touchdowns in just two games, tying the South Carolina single-season record before mid-September.
