COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -
Stephen Garcia threw two touchdowns,
rushed for another score and South Carolina matched its best start
of Steve Spurrier's five seasons with a 38-14 victory over South
Carolina State on Saturday night.
The Gamecocks improved to 4-1, tying their opening mark of 2007.
But it took more time than Spurrier would've liked to finally put
away the Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
Garcia's 1-yard TD right before halftime put South Carolina
ahead 10-0. In the second half, Garcia connected with Moe Brown on
touchdowns of 40 and 9 yards to put things out of reach at 31-7.
Garcia finished 13 of 19 for 132 yards.
Spurrier improved to 38-0 against opponents not in the six
conferences with Bowl Championship Series bids.
South Carolina State (3-1) fell to 0-5 against Football Bowl
Subdivision.
