Deebo Samuel finally broke one.
He’d had the rep for taking kicks back for scores after returning a pair in the first two games of the 2017 season. He’d been a little quiet in 2018, at least until Saturday.
Samuel’s 90-yard return touchdown to open South Carolina’s Ole Miss win was part of the reason he claimed SEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. He also had another return into Rebels territory to set up a short USC drive.

Took the opening kick 90 yards for a TD; it was his fourth-career kickoff return for a touchdown, most in @GamecockFB history.
