LaNorris Sellers throws for 3 TDs as South Carolina whipped Kent State 57-0 to begin season

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- , LaNorris Sellers threw three touchdown passes among five TD drives as South Carolina whipped Kent State 57-0 on Saturday in the season-opener for each team. Sellers, beginning his third season as starting quarterback under a third offensive coordinator, showed no hesitation in running the system installed by Kendal Briles, the Gamecocks’ new $2 million-plus OC. He looked smooth and sure as the first quarterback in an attack that piled up 645 yards and featured scores by six different players. Sellers finished 19 of 23 for 270 yards. Donovan Murph caught two touchdowns while Jabree Coleman rushed for two for South Carolina. Mazeo Bennett, Mike Tyler , Matt Fuller and Isaiah Augustave also scored one TD each. Dru DeShields passed for 63 yards and rushed for 27 to lead Kent State.
