A certain Gamecock running back went airborne under the night skies in Columbia on Saturday.

On the first play of the second quarter, MarShawn Lloyd hurdled a Charlotte defender before finding the endzone. Lloyd didn’t break his stride on the run, seemingly gliding over the defender.

The touchdown was Lloyd’s third rushing touchdown of the season. He also earned his first 100-yard rushing game of the season against Charlotte.

He had 11 carries for 117 yards with the Gamecocks leading 10-7 early in the second quarter.

TD: MarShawn Lloyd hit the Y-button (Shotuout Xbox folks) and hurdled the hell out of a Charlotte defender before racing for a 25-yard score.

I cannot emphasize in words how absolutely disgusting that run was. My word.
