South Carolina lost an impact playmaker midway through the first quarter. Safety Nick Emmanwori rolled up his leg on punt coverage and was helped off the field by the medical staff.

Emmanwori has been one of the Gamecocks' best defenders this season, and South Carolina will struggle to replace him. Safety BJ Gibson replaced him on the ensuing defensive series, and Emmanwori is being evaluated in the medical tent.

Gibson transferred to South Carolina after spending time at the Naval Academy to start his college career. The staff likes what they found in him and feel he can make an impact if he has to.

Update: Emmanwori has returned to action and appears healthy.
