Nov. 22 at South Carolina 37, South Alabama 12 
And You Care Because … South Carolina’s Skai Moore and Brison Williams each came up with two interceptions – each team turned it over five times – with Williams returning one of the picks 21 yards for a touchdown to overcome a rocky overall game to get to six wins. It wasn’t a perfect day for the South Carolina offense, but the defense held South Alabama to four Aleem Sunanon field goals from 20, 29, 20 and 31 yards out. Dylan Thompson found Nick Jones for a 29-yard touchdown, and caught a seven-yard scoring pass, but the Gamecocks had to rely on Elliott Frye field goals from 42, 47 and 24 yards out to make up for an offense that couldn’t seem to stop fumbling.

– South Alabama QB Brandon Bridge completed 2-of-11 passes for 19 yards, Hunter Vaughn completed 15-of-23 passes for 151 yards and four picks
