GamecockArchives.com 2017 Preview – NC State Game the matchup Most of the lead in to this game as focused on whether or not Carolina can score against the Wolfpack defense and with good reason. The 2016 version of the Gamecock offense was inconsistent and sputtered through late season losses to Florida (20-7) and Clemson (56-7). Hopes in Columbia are high though based on flashes shown by underclassmen like , Rico Dowdle, Bryan Edwards, and Hayden Hurst and newcomers like Ty'Son Williams and Shi Smith. The 39 points the Gamecocks put up in the season ending bowl loss to South Florida also raised expectations. N.C. State on the other hand returns an experienced and successful defense with the exception of a couple of key losses in the secondary. USC will certainly look to exploit those losses behind second-year QB Bentley. The sophomore son of USC running back coach Bobby Bentley completed 66% of his passes, averaging 7.5 yards per attempt and hitting nine passes across his seven starts. He threw for 390 yards in the loss to USF and if he can cut down on sacks allowed he could be in for a big year. The running back corps, which looked undermanned at the beginning of 2016, now looks stacked. Soph Rico Dowdle had three 100 yard rushing games in the last six of the year while redshirt soph A.J. Turner had a 113-yard game against Texas A&M and proved to be a solid receiver out of the backfield. They’re joined now by UNC transfer Ty’Son Williams, who could emerge as the best of the bunch. Depth is provided by Wisconsin transfer Caleb Kinlaw and soph Mon Denson. Carolina had to rely on young unproven receivers last year also, but now returns talented headliners Deebo Samuel (59 catches for 793 yards and six rushing ) and Bryan Edwards (44-590-4), supported by three promising true freshman – speedy Shi Smith, giant (6- 4, 219) Or’Tre Smith and Chad Terrell who at 6-2 is another big target. Returnees Terry Googer and Chavis Dawkins will be in the mix and if Randrecous Davis can get healthy USC will have one more speed burner. Tight end Hayden Hurst, a preseason first team All-SEC pick by the coaches, will be Bentley’s safety net and a real matchup challenge. USC has quality depth too there with KC Crosby, Jacob August, Kiel Pollard, Kyle Markway and Evan Hinson. The offensive line took the brunt of the blame for USC’s struggles, but has developed depth and maybe more importantly is at full health to open the season. Both of this year’s starting guards, LG Donnell Stanley and RG Cory Helms, were hampered by injuries. Stanley went down in the season opener and never returned, while Helms played the year with a fracture in his lower leg. Center Alan Knott looks ready for a better season as well and has publicly credited the strength and conditioning staff and new nutritional management team for having the line in better shape for the upcoming year. Tackle Zach Bailey, a third team preseason All-SEC pick, is the headliner of the unit and moves from left tackle last season to right tackle this year. At left tackle last year’s right tackle, Malik Young, is battling junior college transfer Dennis Daley. Senior D.J. Park, who started at right guard last year, provides depth at every position but center and redshirt freshman Sadarius Hutcherson offers promise in reserve. This group will be highly tested by the Pack as despite some talent at RB last year they put rushing averages like 1.1 (Mississippi State), 1.2 (Georgia), 1.4 (Florida) and 2.7 (South Florida). They also allowed a sack percentage in double digits in six games last year, though some of that also fell on the shoulders of two true freshmen . They will be tested early and often by a State line that is experienced and talented. Seven players who saw significant time last year are back, led by end Bradley Chubb, currently projected as a first round pick in next year’s NFL draft. Chubb racked up 22 tackles for loss last year and has impressive quickness for a 6-4, 275 pound end. The other end position features two players capable of wreaking havoc, senior and junior Darian Roseboro. Street, the starter for his stout play against the run, had 9 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, while Roseboro had 7 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. Nose tackle B.J. Hill, checking in a 6-4, 315, adds another force in the middle of the field. Backup Tyrone Riley is solid at end, Palmetto State native Eurndraus Bryant is an experienced 325 pound tackle and Shug Frazier gives the Pack an up and coming tackle. State’s linebackers are experienced if not quite the headliners that the DL are. Senior Jerod Fernandez enters his fourth season as a starter. The undersized Floridian (6-0, 227) had 88 tackles last year and has picked off five passes over the last three seasons. He’s joined in the lineup by the Pack’s most experienced player, Airius Moore. The senior has played in 39 games

GamecockArchives.com 2017 Preview – NC State Game and started 30 and is solid if unspectacular. The top reserve, junior Riley Nicholson, looked like a future standout as a freshman but struggled last season. The fourth linebacker is junior Germaine Pratt, coming off a redshirt year (shoulder surgery) and converting from the safety position. In the secondary State will definitely miss Josh Jones and Jack Tocho, both on NFL rosters at the moment. Corner Mike Stevens (32 tackles, 4 PBU, 1 INT) is out with an injury, leaving safety Shawn Boone (67 tackles) as the primary returning player. There will be opportunities for Bentley & company to make some plays. The starting corners for this matchup will be Rock Hill native Nick McCloud and converted WR Johnathan Alston. McCloud saw a little action last year as a true freshman but is probably better suited to play safety while Alston redshirted in 2016 as he made the conversion to the secondary. Boone, who will line up at the nickel, will be joined by safeties Jairus Morehead and Dexter Wright. Both players played a good bit last year on special teams and as backups and bring significant size – Morehead at 6-1, 217 and Wright at 6-2, 232 – to the back line. State put up some big defensive numbers last year, though those were significantly padded by a game against Notre Dame in a torrential rain storm where moving the ball was impossible and a bowl game against an extremely mediocre Vanderbilt offense. Against Wake, Clemson and Louisville they forced only one three and out all day and didn’t have any against Boston College. USC needs to follow the success Florida State (State had only a 35% success rate against the Seminoles’ passing plays), Miami (44%) and Louisville (43%) had in 2016 and throw the ball often but get the ball out quick and challenge the Pack secondary where speed and quickness is a little questionable. The Gamecocks’ offensive line was very shaky last year and while there is some optimism that there will be improvement, it may not be obvious in this game versus a big, talented Wolfpack front. Offensively Boise State transfer Ryan Finley took over last year as the Pack’s signal caller and while he’s not a prolific passer he is cool under pressure, rarely sacked and knows how to find his safety valve receiver. State struggled to pass in several key conference games last year – Clemson (32%), Louisville (24%), Boston College (37%) and Miami (38%) but feels like they are in a better position at receiver this year. Brae’lon Cherry has graduated, but Stephen Louis is a solid receiver, Kelvin Harmon is coming off a good freshman year and Ju’Michael Ramos returns after a year out due to injury. That doesn’t include H-back Jaylen Samuels, who will line up everywhere from the backfield to the slot, and is Finley’s favorite bail out target. The running game will lose Matt Dayes, who shouldered a heavy load last year. The Wolfpack wasn’t overly successful on the ground and will be counting on a running back by committee mix that will include juniors Nyheim Hines and Reggie Gallaspy and graduate student Dakwa Nichols. Hines played mostly last year while Gallaspy struggled with injuries and Nichols saw scant playing time. The best case scenario for Coach Dave Doeren is that Gallaspy is healthy and successful as the every down back with Hines in the back as the third down and elusive change of pace back. State’s offensive line returns 89 career starts, so it will be an experienced bunch that lines up in Charlotte. Right guard Tony Adams (35 starts) is the leader. Garrett Bradbury slides over from left guard to center to fill the only vacant spot on the line, with junior Terrone Prescod moving into Bradbury’s left guard spot. The staff believes Prescod is one of their most improved linemen. Between Finley’s ability to get the ball out and avoid sacks and the experienced line a lot of pressure will be placed on the Gamecocks’ secondary to cover for extended periods of time. The Achilles’ heel of the Carolina defense still appears to be the defensive line. Coach has been trying to infuse talent but still lacks game changing talents. At the end spots D.J. Wonnum comes off a nice freshman year but ideally would be more of a complimentary player to a big time pass rusher. The other end will be either senior Dante Sawyer or soph Keir Thomas. Sawyer hasn’t shown consistency or the ability to wreak havoc in the backfield that he showed in high school or junior college but does bring the versatility to play inside or out. Thomas is undersized but showed a high motor last year as a true freshman who sacrificed and played tackle against much larger players. USC will start two seniors in Taylor Stallworth and Ulric Jones. Stallworth is in his fourth year in the program and has 18 career starts. He will need to have a big year for the Gamecocks to be successful. Jones, a

GamecockArchives.com 2017 Preview – NC State Game former junior college transfer who made eight starts and 42 tackles last year, will be sharing time with massive juco transfer . At linebacker Carolina enthusiastically welcomes back star linebacker Skai Moore. The Fort Lauderdale native led USC in tackles for each of his first three seasons and showed a nose for the ball, picking off 11 passes and recovering three . He will be the undisputed leader of the defense and should make USC much better. The other two starters are solid in senior Bryson Allen-Williams and sophomore T.J. Brunson. Allen-Williams will move between a traditional linebacker spot and a rush end position as Carolina tries to use his skills to generate some pass rush. Brunson saw time largely on special teams last season but played more as the season went on and shows a knack for being able to handle the middle linebacker position. USC will have to stay healthy at linebacker as backups Sherrod Greene and Eldridge Thompson have no FBS experience and Antoine Wilder is converting from safety. Due to injuries (especially the loss of promising freshman Jaylin Dickerson to a season-ending injury) the Gamecocks remain thin at defensive back. The good news is that the starters are very experienced. At corner junior is the leader. The Miami native has struggled some with injuries in the past, but has played in 22 games with 7 starts and looks ready for a breakout year. Across from him is senior Jamarcus King. The rail-thin corner started fast last year and had 57 tackles and 3 but struggled late against big physical receivers from Florida and Clemson. He will face sizeable receivers from N.C. State and will need every ounce of the six pounds he’s gained to stay with them. Backing them up and playing nickel will be small but highly touted freshman corner Jamyest Williams. Senior is moving from corner to safety and appears to have taken will to the move. Lammons has 23 starts and four career picks and will lend stability and some swagger to the secondary. Physical hitter D.J. Smith enters his second season as a starter and fourth on the squad after making 79 tackles last season. Smith can be a liability in coverage at times but plays the run well. Behind those two is former walk-on wide receiver Javon Charleston, a standout on special teams coverage units who seems to be emerging as a capable DB. Due to the lack of a pass rush USC really struggled late in the year against the pass – vs. Clemson (25%), South Florida (38%) and Florida (43%) the Gamecocks really struggled to consistently make stops. The personnel isn’t a whole lot different from last year so someone like Wonnum is going to have make a leap forward or the staff will need to find ways to scheme others like Allen-Williams to bring additional rushers without leaving the secondary consistently on an island. The experience offensive line of the Wolfpack and an experienced signal caller like Finley have the ability to exploit that. The special teams units are interesting. State struggled a bit at kicker, most obvious in the narrow loss to Clemson when three missed field goals by Kyle Bambard cost them an upset. Bambard was replaced as kicker after that game and lost the job this year to Carson-Newman transfer Carson Wise. Wise has been very accurate over the last two seasons though he doesn’t have a lot of long field goals to his name. (career long of 49) Punter A.J. Cole is effective and Nyheim Hines is a good return man who may not blow open a long one but last year consistently got State in good field position. South Carolina lost all of its specialists from a year ago, as kicker Elliott Fry, punter Sean Kelly and four-year long snapper Drew Williams all exhausted their eligibility. Redshirt freshman Alexander Woznick appeared to have locked up the kicker spot in the spring, but Parker White has had an excellent fall camp and is challenging him for the role. White will handle kickoffs. Similarly, Michael Almond filled in for Kelly during the bowl game last year but has been passed by soph Joseph Charlton. Deebo Samuel, Chris Lammons and Rashad Fenton will all figure into the return game and Samuel and Fenton have kickoff returns for touchdowns to their names. series history The Gamecock – Wolfpack series dates back to October 21, 1915 when South Carolina traveled to Raleigh. State was known as North Carolina A&M then and the day belonged to Carolina thanks to touchdown runs of 17 and 41 yards by halfback Bill Folger. The series carried on through days in the Atlantic Coast Conference and has been played sporadically since Carolina’s departure in 1971. Carolina would win four of the first five matchups between the two schools.

GamecockArchives.com 2017 Preview – NC State Game The series started to even out in the late 1920s, but USC won three straight from 1929 to 1931, outscoring State 50 to 6 including two shutouts. Crip Rhame was the hero of the 20-6 win in 1929 with touchdown passes of 28 and 45 yards, while Hap Edens broke loose on an 85 yard touchdown run. Bob Gressette’s touchdown return of a blocked punt was the only first half score in 1930, but Tommy Reynolds and Miles Blount added touchdown runs in a 19-0 whitewashing. Blount also scored the next year as he, Astor Fleming and Grayson Wolf all scored on rushes as USC rolled 21-0. The Wolfpack would claim wins in 1934 and 1935 and then the two schools didn’t meet again until 1956, when State would emerge victorious in two more contests in ’56 and ’57. Carolina snapped the streak in 1958 as a tight battle entered the fourth quarter scoreless but and John Saunders each scored rushing touchdowns and USC held on for a 12-7 win. They matched that score in a different style in 1959, falling behind 7-0 but Ken Norton scored on a 3 yard run in the third quarter to make it 7-6. Norton then scored the game winner in the fourth on a 33-yard breakaway. After some back and forth Carolina would take back to back victories in 1965 and 1966. A 74- yard touchdown run by Ben Garnto coupled with a pair of field goals from Jimmy Poole were enough points for a 13-7 victory. The 1966 matchup was one of big plays. The Gamecocks scored first on a halfback option pass from Garnto to Jimmy Killen. State matched the score but Bobby Bryant returned a punt 98 yards to give Carolina the lead again. A 23-yard touchdown pass from to Johnny Gregory pushed the lead to 21-7 but a Wolfpack comeback eventually left the game tied at 24 going into the fourth quarter. The final period’s only score came as halfback Benny Galloway ripped off a 43-yard touchdown run to give the visiting Gamecocks a 31-24 win. There was no game in 1967 and State won big (36-12) in 1968. A 3-1 Gamecock squad held on through a bumpy ending for a 21-16 win in 1969. A 72 yard touchdown punt return by Jim Mitchell and short touchdown run by Warren Muir gave USC a seemingly comfortable 21-10 lead in the fourth quarter, but the Wolfpack’s Darrell Moody threw a late touchdown pass to make it interesting. His attempt for a two-point conversion was intercepted by USC DB Pat Watson and the ensuing onside kick was recovered by Carolina defensive end Joe Wingard to salt away the win for the eventual ACC champions. The Wolfpack would win four straight from 1972 through 1975 before Kevin Long and Clarence Williams combined for 195 yards rushing to lead Carolina to a 27-7 win in 1976. Williams and Zion McKinney each scored on rushing touchdowns while Long caught a 3-yard pass from Ron Bass for another score. Britt Parrish’s two field goals accounted for the rest of the points. Carolina would fall again in 1977 and 1978 but huge days from George Rogers (30 carries, 217 yards) and Spencer Clark (18, 103) helped USC edge State 30-28 in 1979. There was no game in 1980 and the 1981 contest was tight until the fourth quarter, entering the final period with USC up 13-12. Defensive back Chuck Finney provided the clincher though when he picked off a pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown. After a loss in 1982 the Gamecocks won in 1983 and 1984. The ’83 victory was triggered by Todd Berry taking the opening kickoff back 85 yards for a touchdown and also included a 47-yard scoring run by Thomas Dendy and a 35-yard pick six by Hinton Tayloe. In ’84 USC fell behind 15-3 but fought back as a 61-yard scoring pass from to tight end Chris Corley jump started a comeback. The game was tied at 28 with a minute to go when Dendy scored the game winner from six yards out. The series would get particularly intense over the next four years. The 1985 game saw the Gameoccks ahead 17-6 with just over seven minutes left, thanks to a 48- yard pick six by Chris Major. Unfortunately the State duo of Erik Kramer and Haywood Jeffires hooked up twice in the final four minutes, once for a seven yard touchdown and then the game winner, a 75 yard bomb with just 82 seconds remaining. The 1986 game had a controversial ending that would impact the ’87 game as well. A one-yard run had given Carolina a 22-17 lead early in the fourth quarter and it appeared USC would hang on – State’s final drive came up short but Carolina jumped offsides, giving the 16th ranked ‘Pack one more play. A 33-yard Hail Mary from Kramer to Danny Peebles resulted in a game-winning touchdown and a flag that was thrown that appeared to be for offensive pass interference was picked up. Carolina hosted the 1987 contest and came out on fire for revenge. Sterling Sharpe returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown – that score was called back, but Carolina never slowed down on their way to a 48-0 dominant shutout. Harold Green rushed for

GamecockArchives.com 2017 Preview – NC State Game three touchdowns and Brad Edwards returned an 43 yards for a score in the blowout. More controversy heralded the 1988 game – ranked as high as #6 in the country Carolina had crashed the previous week in a 34-0 loss to Georgia Tech and the publishing of a steroid expose in Sports Illustrated that focused on USC DT Tom Chaikin and alleged widespread issues within the program. In front of a nationally televised ESPN audience the Gamecock defense crushed State, led by Patrick Hinton who intercepted three passes and recovered a . The Wolfpack managed just 27 yards rushing while a Carolina offense that started sluggishly recovered enough to add a touchdown pass from Ellis to Eddie Miller and three Collin Mackie field goals. The 80s closed on a dark note, as Carolina dropped the 1989 game 20-10 but also saw Ellis suffer a career ending knee injury when hit low by State defensive lineman Mark Thomas. The two teams would play just three times through the 1990s, all Wolfpack victories. The most notable one was played in 1999, Lou Holtz’s first game in charge of the Gamecocks. Torrential downpours made offense all but impossible as Carolina fell 10-0 despite 118 yards rushing from Derek Watson. State managed to sneak in a 22 yard field goal and then scored a touchdown in the final period on a blocked field goal return. The Gamecocks and Wolfpack have only met twice since then, a 34-0 USC victory in Columbia in 2008 and a 7-3 Carolina win in 2009 in Raleigh. The 2008 game was the season opener and saw ride to the rescue replacing Tommy Beecher (four interceptions). Smelley was five for five passing with fourth quarter touchdown passes to Dion LeCorn and Jared Cook. Mike Davis rushed for 101 yards while Taylor Rank added a scoring run. The Carolina defense was relentless and knocked State freshman QB Russell Wilson out of the game. Gamecock defenders again owned the day in 2009, holding the Wolfpack to just 133 yards and three points. Devin Taylor forced a fumble on State’s first possession and Darian Stewart recovered it at the NCSU 14. Running back Brian Maddox then scored the game’s only touchdown and nine tackles for loss by USC the defense and a blocked punt by Taylor made the lead stand up the rest of the way.
