WATCH: Gamecocks DB Rashad Fenton has perfect response to UT WR Tyler Byrd's trash talk

South Carolina took down Tennessee 15-9 in an ugly game full of field goals on Saturday in Knoxville.

The Gamecocks may have had a bit of added bulletin board material coming into the game as one of the Volunteers’ pass-catchers was spouting off on Twitter earlier in the week.

“I just spent 30 mins trying to book a flight to ‘Fenton island’ no air line recognized that destination I guess it doesn’t exist,” Tennessee wide receiver Byrd tweeted on Thursday in regards to the notion that Gamecocks’ cornerback Rashad Fenton was a lockdown corner.

Indeed, Byrd was nowhere to be found in the stat column. Fenton had three tackles in the game.

Byrd responded to a tweet from Fenton after the game. He seemed to realize he was wrong earlier in the week.
