South Carolina-Wofford by the numbers
5
Forced fumbles for senior defensive end Dante Sawyer, tied for the most in the nation. He forced one Saturday after having never forced a fumble for South Carolina coming into this season. He has not recovered any of the loose balls, but also has three pass breakups and three sacks this season.
14
Career interceptions for senior linebacker Skai Moore, tying the program record set by Bo Davies. Moore collected the record-tying pick in the second quarter, his third on the season, which also marked Wofford’s second interception of the year. Moore had not had a pick since Arkansas on Oct. 7 but will now have the chance to take sole possession of the school record against Clemson. Moore also tied for the team lead Saturday with five solo tackles.
15
Passes completed by Jake Bentley on his final 16 attempts, including a stretch of 12 consecutive completions. Bentley ended the game with just one touchdown pass and 6.9 yards per attempt, but also an extremely efficient 79 percent completion rate, by far his best mark of the season, after throwing five interceptions in the previous two games.
33:32
Time of possession for South Carolina, meaning the Gamecocks had the ball longer than Wofford, a team notorious for draining the clock with long drives and its triple-option offense. That success came from a combination of the defense limiting the Terriers to 155 rushing yards and the offense having just one possession that lasted fewer than three minutes – and that was 2:59.
1,000
Career yard milestone reached by sophomore running back A.J. Turner late in the fourth quarter. Turner is the 43rd player in school history to hit that mark. He did so on an evening in which he collected 69 yards on 11 attempts, with most of that coming on a 30-yard scamper that was his single best rush of the season.
