South Carolina Gamecocks Weekly Matchup
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the South Carolina Gamecocks will host the South Carolina State Bulldogs at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC. Kickoff time is 7 p.m. ET with television coverage on SECN+ and ESPN+.
In their last game, the South Carolina State Bulldogs defeated Wofford 16-15. In the season opener on Saturday night, the Wofford College football team was defeated by South Carolina State at Dawson Stadium. A touchdown with 1:29 left in the fourth quarter by the Bulldogs gave them the lead, and a last-second field goal attempt by the Terriers came up short. With the Terrier offense unable to gain momentum, the defense and special teams unit came up with big plays. An 89-yard kick-off return and a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown, along with a safety on defense, were all the points the Terriers could muster.
The Bulldogs had 50 rushing yards by KZ Adams, and William Atkins was 17-of-33 passing. S.C. State had 414 total yards, with 303 of those passing yards. Wofford had 10 first downs to 23 for the Bulldogs. Wofford was 4-of-15 on third down and 1-of-1 on fourth down. S.C. State was 12-of-23 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth downs. S.C. State was called for seven penalties, while Wofford was called for six. S.C. State had a 34:13 to 25:47 time of possession advantage.
South Carolina Gamecocks Weekly Recap
Last game, the South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Virginia Tech Hokies 24-11 as 6.5-point favorites. The game went under the total of 51.5.
LaNorris Sellers led the Gamecocks in passing, going 12 for 19 with 209 yards and one touchdown. He also added 24 rushing yards, including a 15-yard touchdown to start the game. Oscar Adaway III was the rushing leader with 14 attempts for 60 yards. Nyck Harbor was the Gamecocks’ leading receiver with three receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown.
The defensive performance from the Gamecocks was a key contributor to the victory. They consistently kept the Hokies out of the endzone, only allowing 11 points on three field goals and surrendering a safety offensively. After being relatively quiet in the first half, Dylan Stewart added on two sacks in the third quarter. The Gamecocks tallied a total of four sacks on the day. The Gamecocks also swarmed the ball in the air, with both linebacker Fred Johnson and DB Peyton Williams picking off Kyron Drones.
In what was an impressive defensive effort for both teams, the momentum of the game took a swing after redshirt sophomore Vacari Swain returned an electric 80-yard punt for a touchdown, which extended the Gamecock lead to 17-8. After another field goal cut their lead to 17-11, the Gamecocks answered with a 64 touchdown pass from Sellers to Nyck Harbor, which ultimately iced the game as the final score was 24-11.
With the win, the Gamecocks have achieved only the first step of their journey to the College Football Playoffs. The Gamecocks hope to continue their momentum with another win this Saturday, as they host South Carolina State in their first home game of the 2025 season.

South Carolina began playing football in 1892 and has one conference title in its history. In 1969, the Gamecocks won the ACC championship.
The Gamecocks have had moments of glory, especially under former head coach Steve Spurrier. The Old Ball Coach led USC to three consecutive 11-win seasons and a berth in the SEC championship game. But the Gamecocks have never come close to winning the SEC, let alone a national championship.
Spurrier’s 11-win season run ran from 2011 to 2013, and they finished in the top nine of the national rankings. However, the Gamecocks reverted to mediocrity in 2014 and have yet to escape their misery. USC has not finished in the national rankings in eight seasons. South Carolina has had just four winning seasons in the past eight years.
George Rogers was the only Heisman Trophy winner in USC history in 1980. Other great USC players include Steve Wadiak, Alex Hawkins, Billy Gambrell, Marcus Lattimore, Jadeveon Clowney, and Sterling Sharpe.
