Alabama handed South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier the worst home loss of his 16-year college career, quite literally running
over the Gamecocks, 37-14, on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
South Carolina got off to a promising start. The Gamecocks scored on their opening drive of the game on a 1-yard touchdown
run by freshman tailback Mike Davis, but they wouldn't score again until the fourth quarter. With 5:43 remaining, [Blake Mitchell]
completed a 6- yard touchdown pass to Sidney Rice that capped an 80-yard drive against the Alabama reserves.
"Even though Alabama is a little bit better team, we should have been more competitive than we were today," Spurrier said.
"There's not too much to say, Alabama thoroughly beat us. They're a better team. They coached better, played better and they
look like they' re going to have a big season."
