“We’re calling him ‘Two Sacks’ right now,” defensive end Cedrick Cooper said.
According to the stat sheet, Griffin was credited with one and a half sacks in the Gamecocks’ season-opening victory over North Carolina. But nobody will quibble over the difference. They were still the most sacks tallied by a USC defender in a single game in over a year — further evidence of just how much the Gamecocks struggled to get to the quarterback in 2014, when their 14 sacks represented the lowest total in the SEC.
