In its early Saturday afternoon matchup, Ole Miss had the opportunity to sweep the season series against South Carolina, but the Gamecocks had other plans. Ole Miss led the entire way in the first half, and it was not until the 15 minute mark that South Carolina gained its first lead.
Once South Carolina settled in, this game became interesting. Neither team could pull away for a majority of the second half, but the Gamecocks turned its intensity up as time went on. South Carolina’s defense stymied the Rebel offense, not allowing a single field goal in the last seven minutes of play.
