Lamical Perine made a jump-cut with elite quickness. The junior running back juked against the grain of his blocking and burst through the line 23 yards from the South Carolina goal line.

Women’s team rebounds after tough opening day
Paige Hammons lined up for a serve in the second set donning her bright, highlighter orange headband and smacking her gum as she had done every match previous.
