The @GamecockFB defense has allowed just 2 TDs in the last 29 drives dating back to 10/24 vs. #11 Tennessee. They’ve held opponents without a score in 9 of last 10 quarters of football (also at Oklahoma & vs. Texas A&M). 1.1 total points per drive / 3.2 points per quarter 🛡️

The last time Kirk Cousins suited up for the Vikings was in 2023 against the Packers at Lambeau Field. He’s now back in Minnesota in 2026, and his first game could come Sunday against Green Bay at Lambeau Field.

Last night's 𝑾 was @GamecockFB's fourth-straight dating back to a 38-19 road win at No. 16/15 Florida back on Oct. 10. It marks just the fifth, four-game or better SEC win streak in program history dating back to 1992. @CoachSBeamer (2024, 2026) joined Steve Spurrier (2005, 2012) as the only coaches in program history to have multiple, four-game or better victory streaks in SEC action on their résumés. 🤝

Postgame with Shane Beamer & LaNorris Sellers after a gritty win over Texas A&M! 4-straight dubs for the Gamecocks! Sellers gutted this thing out tonight.

Cocktober rolls along into November as the Gamecocks win their fourth in a row. Gutsy performance by LaNorris Sellers, who’s playing at a level that should place him in the top tier when you start talking about the QBs playing the best football right now.
