Gamecocks corner gets last laugh after Tennessee trash talk
South Carolina cornerback Rashad Fenton admitted, the trash talk motivated him a bit.
After picking up the nickname “Fenton Island,” with his stellar play in the first half of the season, he got challenged a little on Twitter.
Tennessee wide receiver Tyler Byrd made a joke, ad few Gamecocks fired back.
I just spent 30 mins trying to book a flight to “Fenton island” no air line recognized that destination I guess it doesn’t exist♂️♂️

But Fenton got the last laugh.
“At the end of the day, we’ve got to come out and actually perform,” Fenton said after USC’s 15-9 win. “Which is funny because he didn’t play today.”
Fenton had three tackles as the Gamecocks limited the Volunteers passing game for almost the entire afternoon. Byrd did actually play, but saw no notable role in the offense and continued a quiet season after surpassing 200 yards a season ago.
