South Carolina won't have too much time to fix what's wrong on offense before starting Southeastern Conference play at Kentucky on Saturday. The Gamecocks needed a strong, swarming defense to force a late fumble that led to the winning touchdown in a 23-19 victory over Old Dominion in their opener.

It was South Carolina’s defense that made the game-changing plays, forcing an Old Dominion fumble near the goal line that Sellers took 6 yards for the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. Sellers acknowledged he may have gotten caught up in the moment of his first start in front of some 78,000 people. He felt the nerves, rushed some of his decisions and did not have the usually solid technique he had shown throughout fall camp.
