The South Carolina Gamecocks moved inside Williams-Brice Stadium for a closed scrimmage on Wednesday night. The 61-play session was highlighted by five touchdown passes, including three from redshirt freshman quarterback Chris Smelly.

"It was a typical scrimmage for us," said Head Coach Steve Spurrier. "Nothing too big happened either way. Chris Culliver made a few catches and ran with it after he caught it, so that was encouraging there. Weslye Saunders had a big play - had a touchdown catch. The defense did a lot of good things. The offensive line did some good things here and there. We won't do too much hitting until the game a week from Saturday. We've had pretty good scrimmages and very few injuries so we're fortunate in that area."

Smelley finished the night by completing 12-of-16 passes for 169 yards with one interception. He hooked up on a 46-yard touchdown pass to freshman tight end Weslye Saunders hit freshman wide receiver Chris Culliver on a 35-yard scoring pass and also had a 19-yard touchdown pass to freshman Mark Barnes.
