Gamecocks secure defensive win

South Carolina overcomes early offensive struggles with dominant defense in victory over Towson

South Carolina's offense struggled in a 45-9 victory over Towson, despite finishing with over 500 yards of offense and a 2-0 record. The Gamecocks had only 88 yards through the air entering a third-quarter weather delay, and their opening drive ended in a turnover. Despite these struggles, Vicari Swain's punt return set a new program record for most returned for a touchdown in the program. Despite the team's struggles, their defense continued to shine, forcing seven three-and-outs and extending the lead to 29 points. The game was briefly interrupted by a weather delay.
