Notes from fourth SC drive:
• Wind is really blowing. Smelley not accurate. Smelley's accuracy smells.
• Davis just picks up a first down on 3rd and 10. Kid is tough.
• Dang it. Langford tips and dives for the near pick. He's a player. He almost gets balls he should have no business even touching. (14:12)
• VU's defensive line playing well.
• Big stop by VU defense. Punt and ball on 20.

Notes from fifth VU drive:
• Nickson getting shut down. Loss of four. 2nd and 14.
• Gamecock defense way too fast for Nickson to break free on corners.
• Nickson goes down. 4th and 19. The offensive line is folding. We're in trouble.

Notes from fifth SC drive:
• Great field position for Gamecocks again.
• TE Cook is killing our linebackers.
• Just when it looked like Gamecocks are dealing a deathblow, Darlron Spead has a huge pick and 41-yard return. It's the fifth pick and longest return of his career.

Notes from sixth VU drive:
• Beautiful fake and nine yard run by Nickson.
• Nice little run by Gaston Miller for first down. We're on the 15. This drive is huge.
• Miller gets a couple. But can we throw the ball?
• Nickson gets three on the keeper. Now 3rd & 4 on the 9.
• Jamie Graham gets a first down on the reverse. 1st & goal on the 5.
• Hawkins gets a couple. But I don't think we can muscle it in.
• Nickson up to the 3.
• Monahan bobbles a shovel pass.
• We score on a Hahnfeldt FG.
• Our red zone offense looked shaky against MiaO. Gamecocks are way, way better.

Notes from seventh SC drive:
• We give up huge kick return to the 50.
• Davis gets 9 yards to VU 41.
• A big stop on Mike Davis.
• Another stop. Fourth and 1. Marve is a man.
• Fake punt. Didn't fool us, but they needed a yard and got it.
• Obscene diving catch by Dion LeCorn. (That's French for "The Corn.")
• Not to act excited or anything but KENNY MCKINLEY IS OUT FOR THE GAME!
• Benoist gets a big sack. 3rd & 16 on 31.
• Field goal attempt at end of half. It's good.
