Swain’s 2 punt return TDs set school career record, lead South Carolina to 45-9 win over FCS Towson

Vicari Swain set a new South Carolina career record with two punt return touchdowns, bringing his total to five, as the Gamecocks defeated Towson 45-9. Despite a 74-minute delay due to lightning and rain, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers and Matt Fuller contributed with long scoring runs. Swain’s performance included a 58-yard punt return in the first quarter and a 45-yard return in the third, surpassing Dickie Harris’s record. Towson struggled against South Carolina’s defense, managing only 203 yards. The Gamecocks, now 2-0, faced challenges with mistakes and missed opportunities, including turnovers and dropped passes. Towson, despite the loss, gained positives from the game and a financial boost from the visit. South Carolina prepares to face Mississippi State next, while Towson will play Morgan State.
