Why Jason Sudeikis cites Dawn Staley as reason South Carolina football wins today

ESPN’s “College GameDay” celebrity guest picker Jason Sudeikis picked South Carolina football to win its matchup with Texas A&M on Saturday — but not for the reason you’re probably thinking. Sudeikis, a well-known comedian and actor, picked the No. 21 Gamecocks to win its fourth game in a row because of South Carolina head women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley. “I’m going Gamecocks because I heard Coach Staley is playing running back and that woman can do anything,” Sudeikis said. USC could probably use Staley at running back on Saturday. The Gamecocks are without their starter Matt Fuller, who injured his ankle last week at Oklahoma. Fuller had surgery the next day and is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. Every member of the “College GameDay” crew — which is in South Bend, Indiana for the Notre Dame-Miami game — picked South Carolina to beat Texas A&M. South Carolina will kick off vs. Texas A&M at 3 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN. Staley and the No. 1 Gamecocks women’s basketball team, meanwhile, play No. 12 North Carolina in Charlotte on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. (ESPN). "I'm going Gamecocks because I heard Coach Staley is

Juan Fernandez, South Carolina take aim at SEMO

After an outstanding debut performance for a well-seasoned new face, South Carolina looks to stay on a roll Sunday afternoon against Southeast Missouri State. European import Juan Fernandez is less than two weeks shy of his 24th birthday, but he was a unique rookie in South Carolina's opener. He scored 20 points on 9-for-13 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in just 19 minutes of playing time as the Gamecocks rolled to an 81-55 victory over Stetson on Tuesday. "Juan made a couple of really aggressive, strong moves," Gamecocks coach Lamont Paris said. "It shows growth for a guy, even though he's 23 years old, he's getting better." South Carolina (1-0) benefitted from a balanced effort as four teammates joined Fernandez in double-figure scoring in the win. Camden Heide added 13 points, Jakub Necas and Davion Hannah each contributed 11 points and Aleksas Bieliauskas scoring another 10. Carolina shot 31-for-61 (50.8 percent) from the field. "I'm really excited about how we got this thing started," Paris said of the new season. "Excited about the ceiling that this team can achieve." SEMO (2-0) is off to a quick start and has shown balance in an 86-79 victory over Lipscomb on Monday and

Liberty girls volleyball falls to Philip Simmons in SCHSL Class 2A state championship

COLUMBIA — Carla Simpson went down the line of her players and coaching staff, greeting each one with a warm hug. She tried her best to conceal the tears, as she got ready to pose for a picture holding up a runner-up trophy. The Liberty girls volleyball coach guided the Red Devils (28-4) to the hallway after a falling 3-1 (25-22, 25-19, 25-15, 25-19) to Philip Simmons (40-5) in the SCHSL Class 2A state championship at Dreher High School on Nov. 7. “For those of you returning next year, remember this felling,” Simpson said to a group of teary-eyed players. Despite the loss, the Red Devils exhibited grit, as they avoided a sweep after coming up short in the first two sets. The victory in the third set wasn’t a surprise to Simpson. “These girls just don’t have any quit in them,” she said. “They are so resilient, and they love to play together. There’s been several games this season where we’ve had to fight back, so they always feel like they’re going to have a chance.” Getting to the state championship was just one of the goals for Red Devils, who last played in the title game in 2022.
