The 2010 college football season is under way and there were no week one upsets in the SEC and ACC.

South Carolina looked impressive vs. Southern Miss in a 41-13 victory. All eyes were on the Gamecocks’ quarterback situation. Starting quarterback Stephen Garcia looked strong on the Gamecocks’ first touchdown of the season with a powerful 22-yard touchdown run. Garcia added another rushing touchdown from three yards out vs. the Golden Eagles Thursday night.

Garcia did not throw a touchdown but his back-up Connor Shaw connected with D.L. Moore on a 15-yard touchdown pass.

Byrnes’ product and Gamecock freshman running back Marcus Lattimore led the team in rushing yards with 54 yards and matched Garcia with two rushing touchdowns.

The Gamecocks’ true test will be Saturday at noon when the Georgia Bulldogs come to Williams-Brice Stadium. Georgia defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 55-7 in last week’s season opener.

The Bulldogs and Gamecocks kick it off at noon on ESPN.
