Just a few years ago, Mario Anderson started making a name for himself in D2 football. Now, his name is known across the SEC.

In this week’s all-new episode of Gamecock Talk, we’re sitting down with Mario Anderson to talk about his journey, both on and off the field, as he’s carved out a tremendous role for himself in Columbia.

🔼 Find Me. Spencer Rattler to Xavier Legette has been an undeniable connection this season, and on Saturday night, that connection delivered a massive win against Kentucky for the Gamecocks. After the game, Legette said: “I knew he was going to find me.” Listen to QB1 break down the game-winning play here.

🔼 Defensive Dominance. Defense has been the star of the show in South Carolina’s recent wins. GamecockCentral has an in-depth breakdown you don’t want to miss on how the defense has stepped up in the last few weeks and why it’s making such a difference now.

🔼 A Historic Season. Freshman phenom Judy Kosgei became South Carolina’s first-ever individual runner at the national championship meet when she took the course on Saturday in Charlottesville. Kosgei’s incredible freshman season ended with a 19th overall finish as she became the first runner in South Carolina Cross Country history to snag All-America honors. She finished the course in 19:41.5, the third time this season that she’s set a school record in the 6K.

🔼 Perfect So Far. That’s a 5-0 start to the season for South Carolina men’s basketball! The Gamecocks won both of their games in the desert this weekend, first knocking off DePaul, then beating previously undefeated Grand Canyon, 75-68, claiming the Arizona Tip-Off title! BJ Mack had a monster game in the Garnet & Black, tallying 27 points in the win. Myles Stute (12) and Jacobi Wright (10) also finished the night in double figures.

The Gamecocks are back at it against Notre Dame on November 28.
