In the LSU game, Sellers was the more productive quarterback. He rushed 10 times for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns, also completing 9-of-16 for 113 yards with 1 interception. Robby Ashford, Sellers’ backup, was 2-of-4 passing for 42 yards and rushed 11 times for 11 net yards in the LSU game.

A week after a heartbreaking loss to LSU, Ashford steps in for LaNorris Sellers at quarterback and accounts for 376 yards of offense. USC improves to 3-1 heading into the bye week.

Strong starts to the season have not been South Carolina’s forte, dating back to well before Shane Beamer took over as head coach. Over the last six years, the greatest number of wins the Gamecocks have earned through its first four games is two.
