LaNorris Sellers throws for 3 TDs as South Carolina whipped Kent State 57-0 to begin season
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers led South Carolina to a lopsided 57-0 victory over Kent State in the teams' season-opener on Saturday. Sellers showcased his skills by throwing three touchdown passes alongside five successful drives. His performance came as the third-year starting quarterback under new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles.
The Gamecocks' offense racked up an impressive 645 yards and involved six different players in scoring. Sellers connected with Donovan Murph, Jabree Coleman, Mazeo Bennett, Mike Tyler, Matt Fuller, and Isaiah Augustave to secure the dominant win. Dru DeShields contributed 63 passing yards and 27 rushing yards for Kent State, with Fuller's 7-yard touchdown in the first quarter marking the first points scored.
Despite Briles' promises of an up-tempo, high-flying offense, South Carolina's game plan was more methodical in execution.
