When most Gamecock fans remember Parker White’s freshman season, they recall a maddeningly inconsistent kicker who had plenty of leg but struggled mightily at times to put the ball through the uprights.
All told, White made just four of 14 field goal attempts from 40 or more yards en route to a 56 percent make rate, 104th among 108 qualified kickers.
But amid that trying season, there was a field goal attempt White can recall well — a 40-yard make early in the fourth quarter of South Carolina’s rivalry game with Clemson, a game USC lost 34-10.
