Although the video shows one touchdown scored by each team during the first half, the final score score was 26-7 with the Gamecocks earning their fifth victory of the season against five losses. QB Stan Spears(#10) scored Carolina's first touchdown on a one-yard sneak late in the second period.

Other Gamecock greats Julius Derrick(#85), Nelson Weston(#66), Weems Baskin(#82), Ed Pitts(#71), John Saunders(#33) and Buddy Mayfield(#80) played important roles in the Carolina victory that day.
