Vicari Swain sets South Carolina career record for punt return touchdowns
Summary

South Carolina defensive back Vicari Swain set the school record for career punt return touchdowns during a 45-9 victory over Towson on September 12. Swain returned two punts for touchdowns, marking his fifth career score on returns and surpassing the previous record of four held by Dickie Harris. The performance occurred on the junior's 22nd birthday and followed a 73-minute weather delay in Columbia. Despite the record-setting night, Swain briefly lost focus during a Towson touchdown drive, later recovering by blocking the subsequent extra point attempt. South Carolina remains undefeated at 2-0 heading into its Southeastern Conference schedule opener against Mississippi State on September 19.
