Vanderbilt went to Columbia, South Carolina coming off a bye week following the shocking win over Missouri. Unfortunately, QB Mo Hasan who stepped in for the Missouri game and changed the tone of the Commodore football team was – and still is – in concussion protocol from a dirty hit. The team had to turn back to Riley Neal, but he lasted only one series before also entering concussion protocol. The offense under Deuce Wallace never found a groove. The defense eventually wore down, and South Carolina found enough plays to hand the Commodores their 11th straight loss in the series.
