Gamecocks Suspend Dylan Stewart Indefinitely After Punch vs. Alabama
- Following a 1-yard rushing touchdown during the Week 4 game, South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart punched Alabama tight end Josh Ford in the helmet in the end zone. Stewart avoided ejection, receiving only an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
- Frustrations mounted for South Carolina during the Week 4 loss, with Stewart appearing visibly upset on the sideline after the touchdown. Coach Shane Beamer was shown reprimanding Stewart after a previous play, though Stewart never stopped walking while Beamer was screaming.
- ESPN rules analyst Jerry McGinn said Stewart should have been ejected, stating, "He should be ejected immediately." Stewart entered the contest with 57 total tackles and 11 sacks through three college seasons, positioning him as a projected first-round NFL Draft pick.
- Josh Ford downplayed the altercation while laughing, calling the matchup an "awesome, a good battle," and said, "Man, he's a great player" in a post-game response. Ford acknowledged being punched multiple times but dismissed the incident as a competitive exchange.
- South Carolina's performance remains stagnant, showing little improvement over last year after going 4-8 on the season. The program faces ongoing struggles that threaten to undermine even star players like Stewart during the current season's early weeks.
