Well, we knew Vanderbilt had been playing with fire over the past few weeks — starting around the Ball State game, the offense hasn’t really done a whole lot, relying on the defense to play bend-don’t-break ball and wait for the opponent to beat itself. When that formula runs into Beamerball, well, what you see above is the result.
Vanderbilt’s defense bent but didn’t break, holding South Carolina to a missed field goal attempt on its first drive. Then the defense broke and broke and broke as the Gamecocks simply refused to implode on their own — you know, as they do every time they play Vanderbilt. The offense, on the other hand, got very little going, and when it did get something going it couldn’t convert it into points, with two turnovers on downs in the second half and fumbling it right back to South Carolina after the Gamecocks gave them a free shot at the South Carolina 15.
(I will push back on Clark Lea’s reference to this game as a “three-phase ass-kicking,” though, if only to point out that Jesse Mirco did in fact have a good game punting the ball.)
Anyway, the losing streak to South Carolina is now at 16 years and it’s probably good that we have a bye week next week. Then comes LSU and Tennessee. Thankfully, we’re already bowl eligible so we can lose both of those and it not matter.
Individual Stats
Passing
Passing | Comp | Att | Comp % | Yds | TD | INT | Sacks | Yds Lost | Net Yds | Success Rate | YPP |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Passing | Comp | Att | Comp % | Yds | TD | INT | Sacks | Yds Lost | Net Yds | Success Rate | YPP |
Diego Pavia | 16 | 31 | 51.61% | 166 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 10 | 156 | 33.33% | 4.7 |
Suffice to say, Diego Pavia did not have a good game passing the ball, with the South Carolina defensive line (which is very good) spending most of the day in the backfield. I am not sure Pavia has been sacked twice in a game in a while, which tells you how much pressure South Carolina was getting. There were also a surprising number of passes batted down.
Rushing
Rushing | Att | Yds | YPA | TD | Success Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rushing | Att | Yds | YPA | TD | Success Rate |
Diego Pavia | 11 | 75 | 6.818181818 | 1 | 63.64% |
Sedrick Alexander | 10 | 30 | 3 | 0 | 30.00% |

Nate Johnson | 1 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0.00% |
Moni Jones | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0.00% |
Pavia did break off a couple of big runs on scrambles, including a 17-yard run on 3rd and 8 for Vanderbilt’s only touchdown. The rest of the running game was… not effective. Nate Johnson had a late rushing attempt after Pavia went into the injury tent.
Receiving

Moni Jones | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00% | 0.0 | #DIV/0! | 0.00% |
This is the most I can remember Loic Fouonji doing this season. Other than that, there isn’t much noteworthy here. A lot of the “targets” that weren’t catches were uncatchable balls where the official scorer was making his best guess who Pavia was throwing it to.
Defense
Aside from Miles Capers forcing a fumble, there were very few havoc plays on Saturday: Vanderbilt’s defense got just five tackles for loss and four pass breakups. Randon Fontenette and CJ Taylor tied for the team lead with seven total tackles. Maurice Hampton was playing a lot more than I can remember him playing before.
What’s Next
Vanderbilt has a week off before going to Death Valley to play LSU on November 23; game time and TV network are to be announced.

Round of heavy rains to continue on Monday across South Carolina

Heavy rain will continue to fall across South Carolina at the beginning of the week. Periods of heavy rain will continue to stream mainly south to north as a low-pressure system passes just to our west. The positioning of this low-pressure system is pulling lots of deep tropical moisture across the Palmetto State, which will stay producing the chance for flash floods throughout the day. Some showers will still linger around on Tuesday; therefore, a few spots may develop flooding again.
Another day with periods of heavy rains is in the forecast to start the work week. Make sure to avoid flooded roads, some isolated spots could reach high amounts, up to 6 inches. Please stay aware. pic.twitter.com/uLF3CFKVzV
— South Carolina Public Radio (@SCPublicRadio) May 12, 2025
Overall, we expect higher rainfall across Upstate and the Lowcountry. Across Upstate South Carolina, the rainfall will range between 2 and 4 inches, with some spots that could receive up to 5 inches isolated. Across the Lowcountry, rain totals will range between 2 and 4 inches, with some isolated spots accumulating up to 5 inches. The Midlands and the Pee Dee rainfall will vary between 1 and 3 inches. Some models hint at rain in the higher range across the northern portions of the Midlands.
Please avoid flooded roads. Remember, don’t drown. Six inches of water could cause your vehicle to stall, while six inches of standing water could cause it to float.
This rainfall could significantly reduce drought levels across South Carolina, especially along the coast. The next drought monitor update will be released on Thursday morning. We expect to see a big difference, as we’ve had a very slow-moving low-pressure system and a stationary front that has meandered and brought several rounds of rain since last Friday.
Expect the weather to improve by mid-week, with drier conditions across the state. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal for this time of year as a high-pressure system will be located to our east. By the end of the week, temperatures could reach the 90s statewide.

South Carolina Gamecocks Considered a Pretender Not a Contender

The South Carolina Gamecocks are starting to be considered pretenders and not contenders.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are getting ready for what they hope is a successful 2025 college football season. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers is predicted to have another big season for the Gamecocks and the Gamecocks are expected to compete for a playoff spot.
However, based on the latest college football playoff projections, it looks like most people consider South Carolina to be a pretender and not a contender this season. 247 sports’ Brad Crawford released his postseason projections, and he had South Carolina missing the playoffs and playing Indiana in the Reliaquest Bowl. Yahoo Sports also just released theirs, and the Gamecocks were nowhere to be found in the top 12.
The Gamecocks were a borderline playoff team last season despite having three losses on the schedule. They had perhaps the best final stretch of the season amongst all the college football teams, but it wasn’t enough to put them in the top 12. Now, some expect them to be back in contention for the playoffs.
Sellers has shown his ability to elevate South Carolina’s offense and he did so last season as a first year starter. Now with an entire year under his belt and expected improvements in his game, it’s safe to think the Gamecocks’ offense will only be better this season. But will it be enough to land them inside the playoffs? For now, people are saying no.
