LaNorris Sellers Throws for 3 TDs as South Carolina Whipped Kent State 57-0 to Begin Season
Sellers completed 19 of 23 passes for 270 yards as South Carolina scored on six players and piled up 645 total yards.
On Saturday, the South Carolina Gamecocks defeated the Kent State Golden Flashes 57-0 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, with quarterback LaNorris Sellers throwing three touchdown passes in the season-opener.
The game marked the debut of offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, signed to a $2 million-plus contract to install a new system designed to eliminate hesitation from the quarterback position.
Sellers threw for 270 yards while freshman running back Jabree Coleman rushed for 60 yards on his first carry; receiver Donovan Murph led with 92 yards and two touchdowns.
South Carolina's defense held the Golden Flashes scoreless while limiting quarterback Dru DeShields to 63 passing yards and forcing one interception in the fourth quarter.
Head coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks continue their three-game home stand next week, hosting the Towson Tigers on Saturday, September 12, at 7 PM ET.
