Swain’s Punt Return Sparks South Carolina Past Virginia Tech, 24–11, in Season Opener

South Carolina defeated Virginia Tech 24-11 on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the season opener known as the Beamer Bowl.

LaNorris Sellers threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Nyck Harbor that effectively sealed the game, finishing with 209 passing yards and adding 24 yards on the ground.
Sellers completed 12 of 19 passes, scored both a passing and rushing touchdown, and defensive interceptions by Fred Johnson and Peyton Williams halted Hokies' scoring attempts.
South Carolina improved to 1-0 and will play their home opener against South Carolina State at Williams-Brice Stadium on September 6, with the game starting at 7 p.m.
