Following an eventful Saturday, the college football kickoff weekend prolonged its excitement with further captivating moments on Sunday.
No. 13 South Carolina and Virginia Tech initiated the day with another SEC versus ACC showdown. Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sellers presented glimpses of brilliance during a 24-11 triumph over the Hokies, yet it was classic Beamer Ball that propelled South Carolina to victory, highlighted by a game-changing 80-yard punt return by Vicari Swain. That’s correct, Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer implemented his father’s renowned approach to defeat his former squad.
In the evening contest, No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 10 Miami engaged in a nail-biter at Hard Rock Stadium. The Hurricanes maintained command for much of the game before a late surge from the Irish leveled the score at 24. However, Miami kicker Carter Davis successfully executed a 47-yard field goal with slightly over a minute remaining, and the Hurricanes defense persevered for a 27-24 victory.
