COLUMBIA, S.C. (USC SID)– USC players still reveling in the first win of the season, but also taking time to reflect. Marcus Lattimore On fumbling the ball on the first play: “After that first play, it wasn’t a good play, and I hated that happening, but I just had to forget about it. After a few runs, I started to feel like myself again.” On Vanderbilt’s defense: “Coming into the game, I knew they were going to be tough. D-line is always going to give 100% on every play, linebackers were good. I knew coming into the game how good they were going to be and they lived up to their hype. It’s a great team that’s going to have a great year.” Connor Shaw On how he was able to come back in the game after injuring his shoulder: “They gave me some medicine.

I knew that he was going to be able to come out here and pick up where he left off. He had a great game tonight.” On the win: “It wasn’t too pretty, but we’ll take the win, especially against Vanderbilt in this place.”
