After digging a early hole, South Carolina came from 15 down at halftime to send the game into overtime tied at 39. South Florida scored on their first play and Jake Bentley was sacked on fourth down to end the game. The 46-39 defeat means Carolina finishes with a second straight losing season.
Slow Start
The Gamecocks could not have started the game much worse than they did. USF QB Quinton Flowers made quick work of the Gamecocks defense with two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter. In between the two scores was a Jake Bentley interception.
