South Carolina defeats FCS Towson 45-9 on a rainy Saturday night, with Vicari Swain scoring twice on punt returns. Swain’s two punt return touchdowns break the school’s career record, bringing his total to five in his time with the Gamecocks. The win includes additional scoring as quarterback LaNorris Sellers and tailback Matt Fuller both add big plays.
The game is delayed for 74 minutes because of lightning and heavy rain. After the delay, Sellers delivers a 58-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to extend South Carolina’s lead to 24-3. Fuller also contributes a long scoring run, while Swain’s punt returns are central to the final margin. Both outlets describe the same key events: Swain’s record-setting returns, Sellers’ long touchdown, and the weather delay affecting play.
