=== No. 12 South Carolina downs Wofford ===
 
 Columbia,  SC  (Sports Network) - Kenny  Miles ran for a career-high 127 yards
 and a touchdown on 27 carries and No. 12 South Carolina used a 17-point fourth
 quarter to take care of Wofford, 24-7, Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
 
 Miles  added four catches  for 27 yards, while Connor Shaw threw for 122 yards
 with   one  touchdown  and  one  interception  on  16-of-20  passing  for  the
 Gamecocks  (9-2),  who went  a perfect 7-0  at home this  season for the first
 time since 1987.
 
 Ace Sanders caught five passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the victory.
 
 "This  game was about  like every time we've played Wofford. It was very close
 and then something good happened for us in the fourth quarter," South Carolina
 coach Steve Spurrier said. "Wofford is a good team, we knew that coming in and
 we  knew it was going to be a close dog fight all the way through. We got some
 turnovers that gave us a little room to breathe at the end of the game"
 
 Eric  Breitenstein led the Wofford attack with 125 yards and a touchdown on 28
 carries,  while James Lawson  attempted only two passes -- one going for a 71-
 yard completion -- for the Terriers (8-3).
 
 After  both teams failed  to put any points on the board in the third quarter,
 South  Carolina finally put the game away with 17 points in the fourth to snap
 a 7-7 tie.
 
 The Gamecocks took the lead for good with just a few ticks under 12 minutes on
 the  clock, when  Adam Yates capped an extensive 15-play, 68-yard drive with a
 chip-shot 23-yard field goal to make it a 10-7 game.
 
 Wofford  turned the  ball over  on  downs on  its next  possession, and  South
 Carolina needed just five plays to move down the field before Shaw hit Sanders
 in the end zone for an 8-yard strike and a 17-7 lead with 8:10 left.
 
 Breitenstein  then fumbled  on the  ensuing Terriers  drive and  the ball  was
 scooped  up by Akeem  Auguste, who rumbled 31 yards to the end zone to ice the
 victory for South Carolina.
 
 "Turnovers  got us today," Wofford coach Mike Ayers said. "If we don't turn it
 over  and take care of the ball then the other side may be a little sad. Loved
 the  effort  of the kids  and the way that  they conducted themselves and know
 that we really worked hard for this."
 
 Following  a scoreless  first quarter, the Gamecocks struck first early in the
 second  frame when Miles capped a lengthy 13-play, 51-yard march with a 2-yard
 plunge into the end zone, giving South Carolina a 7-0 lead.
 
 Wofford  fought  back to tie the  game at 7-7 on  the final drive of the first
 half.
 
 Breitenstein  starred on  the 12-play,  85-yard possession,  rushing the  ball
 seven  times for 47  yards that included a 2-yard TD plunge with 32 seconds on
 the  clock, giving the South Carolina defense something to think about heading
 into the third quarter.
