South Carolina got its seventh win of the season Saturday, which was kind of the point of Saturday.
The Gamecocks beat Akron 28-3 in a game scheduled to replace the Sept. 15 Marshall game, which was canceled due to Hurricane Florence. South Carolina improved to 7-5, while the Zips fell to 4-8.
South Carolina announced an attendance of 53,420 at Williams-Brice Stadium, although Saturday’s rain kept some of those people away, and most of the fans who did come didn’t stay for the second half.
They didn’t miss anything. The Gamecocks led 28-3 at halftime and neither team scored after the break.
