South Carolina shares video of insane sideline celebration on punt return TD vs. Virginia Tech
Published:
The South Carolina offense was stuck in neutral for most of the game following their opening drive touchdown. Then, Vicari Swain embodied Chris Berman’s onomatopoeia rolodex on an 80-yard punt return touchdown. And the Gamecocks’ sideline justifiably lost its collective mind.
Roughly an hour after South Carolina sealed a 24-11 win over Virginia Tech, the Gamecocks’ social feeds released footage of the team’s bench going crazy during Swain’s return. Players jaunted their way down toward the endzone and head coach Shane Beamer started waving for the crowd to stay loud as Swain celebrated.
LaNorris Sellers completed 63.2% of his passes (12/19) for 209 yards and 1 touchdown in the game. He didn’t light up the stat sheet with his legs — 13 carries (including 4 sacks and 3 kneel downs) for 25 yards — but did scamper for the game-winning first down with 2:12 remaining in the contest.
South Carolina wreaked havoc defensively, totaling 4 sacks and 7 tackles for loss on the day. Standout edge defender Dylan Stewart posted 1 of those sacks and 1.5 of the tackles for loss. The Gamecocks host the South Carolina State Bulldogs in Week 2 before beginning SEC play versus Vanderbilt in Week 3 (Sept. 13).
