Swain's 2 Punt Return TDs Set School Career Record, Lead South Carolina to 45-9 Win over FCS Towson
Vicari Swain broke the school punt-return TD record with two scores, and South Carolina added 391 total yards in a 45-9 win.
- On Saturday night, South Carolina defeated Towson 45-9 at Williams-Brice Stadium, with quarterback LaNorris Sellers rushing for 119 yards and defensive back Vicari Swain setting a school record with two punt return touchdowns.
- Lightning and heavy rain suspended play for 74 minutes early in the third quarter after Sellers' 58-yard touchdown run put the Gamecocks up 24-3, triggering an immediate halt per program safety policy.
- Despite the victory, South Carolina struggled with offensive miscues: running back Matt Fuller fumbled twice and had a touchdown wiped out by penalty, while receiver Nyck Harbor dropped two touchdown passes in the end zone.
- Towson collected $550,000 from the Southeastern Conference school for the visit, with payment due on or before January 31, 2027 according to the contract obtained by the Greenville News.
- South Carolina opens Southeastern Conference play against Mississippi State next Saturday, with coach Shane Beamer acknowledging the team must correct offensive errors before facing the Bulldogs, who won their first two games 100-26.
