Gamecocks Win At Vandy, 21-7

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Brian Maddox rushed for a career-high 146 yards and the game-clinching touchdown to lead No. 19 South Carolina to a difficult 21-7 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday night, giving Steve Spurrier his 40th victory with the Gamecocks.

The win snapped South Carolina’s seven-game Southeastern Conference road losing streak that dated back to 2008 and put the Gamecocks (5-2, 3-2) in first place in the SEC East. South Carolina had lost two of the last three to Vanderbilt (2-5, 1-3).
