Go Gamecocks!

35 - 21

Wow. Hard to believe, but I love it! We beat Alabama! So that means...

January 26, 2010 - Basketball beats the #1 team (UK)

June 22, 2010 - Baseball beats #1 Arizona State

October 9, 2010 Football beats the #1 team (Bama)

...and now baseball IS the #1 team.

I also found these facts (from ESPN.com) very interesting:

In a 2009 win over South Carolina, Mark Ingram had 246 yards as the Tide totaled 264 rushing yards on the Gamecocks defense. On Saturday, Ingram had 41 yards, while the Tide as a team had 36.

Quick Notes on South Carolina's upset * First win over No. 1 team in school history * 35 points on Alabama is most since LSU scored 41 on them in 2007 * Ends Alabama's 19-game win streak and 18-game SEC win streak * Held Alabama to 36 yards rushing (3rd-fewest in Nick Saban era)

Marcus Lattimore has 2 Rush TD and a rec TD today vs Alabama. The last player to have 3 TD vs Alabama? Tennessee WR James Banks in the Vols' October 25, 2003 shootout with Alabama. Banks had 2 receiving TD and a Rush TD. Tennessee won 51-43.

The trio of QB Stephen Garcia, WR Alshon Jeffery, and RBMarcus Lattimore will all have eligibility remaining after this season. Garcia is only a junior, Jeffery a true sophomore, and Lattimore is a freshman who was one of the top recruits in the country last year.
