Today, there are 96 days until kickoff of Gamecocks football.
As mentioned earlier, we are providing this countdown for you and hope you are enjoying this….
96 is the number of yards in South Carolina’s longest run from scrimmage. On October 27, 1950 the legendary Steve Wadiak took the ball from his own 4 yard line and raced through a hole in the middle of the line for the touchdown. South Carolina won the game against George Washington 34-20. The game was a conference game as both teams were members of the Southern Conference. Many in attendance that day remembered not only the run but also the fight that broke out at the end of the game when a Colonial slugged South Carolina’s Tommy Woodlee.
