Ace Sanders may have turned in an all-time performance at the Outback Bowl...

Here is my rundown...

1. 3 touchdowns
2. Catches game-saving 4th and 3 pass on final drive to keep us in the game.
3. Makes a circus catch for the ages at the back of the endzone, staying within bounds by millimeters and banging into the endzone wall but never losing control of the ball.
4. Makes one of the best punt returns in recent memory, taking it to the house.
5. During our critical drive to win the game, makes 3 clutch catches in a row.

Not a bad day at the office!

 
It is definitely up there with Ryan Brewer's 2001 Outback Bowl perfomance.
 

Getting an opportunity for increased playing time with the suspension of Watson, the Ohio native almost single-handidly
helped South Carolina cap its turnaround season with a 24-7 victory over No. 18 Ohio State in the Outback Bowl.


Brewer, who was recruited by Ohio State, filled in more than capably, accounting for 219 all-purpose yards and scoring all three South Carolina touchdowns. He rushed for a seven-yard TD early in the third quarter, caught a 28-yard TD pass 43 seconds into the fourth period and ran for a two-yard score with six minutes remaining.

The 5-10, 205-pound sophomore, a former Mr. Ohio, burned his home state team by rushing for 109 yards on 19 carries and catching three passes for 92 yards. He also had two punt returnS for 18 yards.
