Player Of The Game

USC WR Deebo Samuel

New week, same story. Early in the game, South Carolina needed a spark. Trailing 10-0, Samuel proceeded to take back the kickoff on a play that was very similar to the return the week before against NC State.

The very next play, the Gamecocks picked off Missouri QB Drew Lock. Gamecocks QB Jake Bentley handed to Samuel on the speed sweep, and just like that the Gamecocks had the lead 14-10 and never looked back. Samuel has to be a serious contender for the Heisman at this point, having five touchdowns in just two games. The RS Junior continues to be the spark for this Gamecocks team that everyone hoped he would be.
