Welcome back to Take a Look Tuesday, a weekly look at what happened in the other games involving SEC teams. This Saturday was the 1st of October, and the top teams were getting into the Halloween spirit early with some scares. (Note: I remove sacks and sack yardage from rushes and rushing yardage when necessary to put stats in appropriate context.)
(Thursday) South Carolina 50 vs SC State 10
Well this game happened. South Carolina gave their FCS foes a blowout loss that wasn’t shocking, but it was a sloppy win. The Gamecocks turned the ball over three times (one of which was on an INCREDIBLE pick on the third play of the game), the worst of which was a miscue on special teams in which SC blocked a punt that traveled beyond the line of scrimmage and touched it by accident before SC State could fall on it in a quite bizarre sequence.
