South Carolina Grinds Out 7-3 Victory Over North Carolina State

The dead ball era came to college football, at least for a night as South Carolina played ball control just a little bit better than North Carolina State. Both contributed woeful offensive performances, South Carolina finishing with 255 yards and North Carolina State just 133 in an ugly, sleepy affair.

A first half touchdown several plays after recovering a Toney Baker fumble deep in Wolfpack territory was all South Carolina needed. They actually missed a field goal and mishandled the snap on another but were never made to pay for their mistakes. North Carolina State receivers dropped endless passes, providing little help to quarterback Russel Wilson.

This was the second straight snoozefest game between the programs who hopefully get to take a national TV break for a few weeks. Fortunately for college football fans the much-anticipated Boise State and Oregon game is played later Thursday night.
