The South Carolina Gamecocks pulled off a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the Outback Bowl.

The Gamecocks managed just three points in the game until late in the third quarter. Plagued by multiple miscues, it looked like South Carolina may fall short in the game. Michigan had its own offensive struggles but found a way to go up by a score of 19-3 behind four field goals.

Somehow, head coach Will Muschamp was able to rally the troops and turn things around. RB Rico Dowdle scored the first South Carolina touchdown of the game, and QB Jake Bentley kept it rolling just minutes later with a beautifully thrown ball to WR Bryan Edwards for a 21-yard touchdown.

Once they got rolling, the Gamecocks never slowed and scored 23 unanswered points to finish the game. On the defensive side of the ball, South Carolina forced five turnovers and did its part in the second half of the 16-point comeback.

Immediately following the game, Muschamp said that South Carolina may not have what other programs do, but the Gamecocks certainly have grit and toughness:
