Columbia, S.C.  - The South Carolina Gamecocks Football season continues as they play host to the Troy Trojans today at 3:30 p.m. in Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks (2-2, 0-2) look to rebound from their 16-10 loss last week to Kentucky, while the Trojans (2-2, 0-1 Sun Belt) are coming off of a 29-16 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Taylor Zazour will call the action for SEC Network. He will be joined in the booth by Matt Stinchcomb. Carolina grad Alyssa Lang will patrol the sidelines. The familiar voices of Carolina Hall of Famers Todd Ellis and Tommy Suggs handle the call for the Gamecock Radio Network with Jamar Nesbit on the sidelines.

CAROLINA VS. TROY: This is the fourth meeting between the Gamecocks and Trojans in a series that dates back to 2004. Carolina leads the all-time series 3-0, with all three games being contested in Columbia. The teams met in 2004, 2005 and 2010, with Carolina winning by scores of 17-7, 45-20 and 69-24, respectively.
 
THE LAST TIME THEY MET: Marcus Lattimore had three touchdowns and 102 yards rushing by halftime to lead the 17th-ranked Gamecocks to a 69-24 victory over Troy on Nov. 20, 2010, its biggest point total under Steve Spurrier and the most it has scored in 15 years. Lattimore and the Gamecocks ended any doubts early as he scored on runs of 17-, eight- and five-yards for a 21-0 lead less than seven minutes into the contest. Troy had five turnovers, all which led to touchdowns. Stephen Garcia threw two touchdowns and ran for a third. The defense chipped in with safety D.J. Swearinger and defensive end Chaz Sutton both returning interceptions for touchdowns.
 
POINTS GALORE: The scoreboard operator was busy when the Gamecocks and Trojans met on Nov. 20, 2010. The 69 points scored by Carolina ranks as the seventh-highest mark in school history, while the 93 combined points is tied for the fourth-highest scoring game in Gamecock history.

GO COCKS!! let's get the offense in gear today.

 
South Carolina leads 3-0 late in the 1st Qtr., but our offense is baaaad.........already with 3 offensive penalties, and our run game is just as bad as it was against UGA and UK. Another dropped pass from Joyner.....

 
Gamecocks took a 10-7 lead off of a 16-yd TD pass to EJ Jenkins - his first TD as a Gamecock - but Troy was driving down the field late in the 2nd Qtr., looking for at least a game-tying field goal at worst, at 2nd and 9 from the USC 22 yd line. But the Troy QB's pass was picked off by reserve DB David Spaulding, who runs it back 74 yards for the touchdown!! A much needed defensive score with our offense sputtering, and Troy gaining momentum.

Gamecocks lead 17-7 at the half. Doty has thrown for 202 yds in one half, with the TD pass to Jenkins. But the run game is flat-lining: only 35 total yds on 14 attempts. Maybe there'll be some adjustments....

 
Need to stop all the penalties.  Can't hurt ourselves like that.  And why can't we run the ball!!!!

 
Gamecocks pull out a tight win 23-14 to improve to 3-2, (0-2) on the season. We actually escaped with a win.....against Troy. That may very well be our final win of the season right there. Vanderbilt is NOT a gimme. Missouri has a God-awful defense, but our offense may make it look like UGA's.

We had a strong offensive showing at least via passing in the 1st half - Doty threw for 202 yds. But our run game was anemic, averaging 2.5 ypc. We improved there a bit - about the ONLY halftime adjustment for the positive our staff accomplished - but Troy overall improved the most, especially on their own offense which started to move regularly throughout the 2nd half.

We STILL have too many stupid penalties and lack of discipline, even against a Sun Belt team. The pick-six that wasn't by Jahmar Brown - he does what so many still seem to think is the "cool" thing to do, despite so many being burned by the mistake, and being made a fool of on social media for years afterwards - and flips away the football before he crosses the goal line, resulting in a touchback back to the Trojans. You'd think football players would know not to do that anymore.

Now to get ready for Tennessee in Knoxville. I may not watch that game......

 
Didn't Troy beat LSU? I know it was ugly,  but, other Carolina teams would've lost this game. I'm hoping they are learning on the fly and we nab a few more. Lots of film to learn from after a win.

 
This may not be the last Win of the Season, but there will not be many more. I bet CCU beats Troy by at least 20. We look poorly coached. Especially on Offense and O-Line. I saw where Auburn has already fired their wide receivers coach. Maybe it is time to ALREADY look for a new O-Line coach and a Qffensive coordinator. I believe these two guys are in over their heads. Other than that GOOD WIN.

 
I like Joyner, but he just can't hold onto the ball.

I am confident Shane can improve this team, but like others I just don't see another win after this one right now.

 
Yet we don't look that bad in the game highlights.

The Vols walloped Mizzou 62-24 yesterday, but is that because Mizzou is bad this year (so are Vols).

Satt said in his weekly presser that Shane hasn't stepped into offensive practices when he was asked about it.

That probably changes this week and maybe we get the win at Rocky Top on Saturday.  Who knows.

I don't see us putting 62 points on anyone.  Right now we're making every defense look good.  Tennessee who knows.  Will be interesting to see if our D can slow them down.

 
I am really disappointed in our lack of discipline.  I thought it would be better under Beamer.  Still too many penalties that kill our drives or extend opponent's drives.  Stupid plays like the ball flip that took away a TD.  Just unforced mental errors every game.  It seems to get worse every game rather than better.  Vandy sucks so we should beat them, but that's about it for wins IMO.
