South Carolina football edge rusher Dylan Stewart was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct during South Carolina’s loss to Vanderbilt on September 13. Stewart appeared to shove Vanderbilt’s right tackle, Bryce Henderson.

Though head coach Shane Beamer said following the game against Vanderbilt that he believed the ejection would casue Stewart to be suspended during the first half of the Week 4 game at Missouri, that won't be the case. Beamer shared in a press conference Sunday that he was informed by the Southeastern Conference that Stewart will be available for the full game.

Stewart is critical to the Gamecocks' defense and was providing results before being ejected. During the game against the Commodores, he had two tackles for loss, two solo tackles, and two quarterback hurries. 

Here's the morning buzz for Monday, Sept. 15.

Mizzou Quote of the Day:

"Coach [Don] Faurot loved the shotgun, and Memphis State was blitzing us down after down. Right before halftime, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and there he was with his gold sports coat and an oxygen tank. He was yelling at me to use the shotgun. He looked a little funny, but I listened, and he was absolutely right."
