Ohio St. simply did not show up today. They looked like they were sleepwalking in the first half and did nothing to correct that impression in the second half. Maybe they lost interest in the postseason after missing out on the Rose Bowl, but whatever the reason, the Buckeyes were just mailing it in today. South Carolina played hard, but there's a wide discrepancy in the talent level between these two teams and the Gamecocks have no business beating Ohio St. by this score.

| IT WAS OVER WHEN ... |
| Ohio native Ryan Brewer went out of state to play football. More specifically, it was over when Brewer scored his second TD of the game early in the fourth quarter, giving the Gamecocks' defense a 17-7 lead to protect against listless OSU. Brewer later added a third score.

Brewer, coach Lou Holtz and the South Carolina fans. Holtz has turned a program that was 1-10 two years ago and winless last season (in Holtz's first year at USC). The fans get kudos to sticking it out through the thin to get to the thick at the Outback Bowl.

USC 'Brews' Up a Blowout
Ryan Brewer scored 3 TDs in South Carolina's Outback Bowl win.
South Carolina completed the ultimate SEC rags-to-riches story under Lou Holtz, going from winless in 1999 to Outback Bowl champions in 2000-01. The Gamecocks got three touchdowns from Ryan Brewer to clobber Ohio State 24-7. Brewer, an Ohio native, ran for two scores and caught a pass for another.

 "It was a great win. OSU was not a worthy opponent today. They played horribly and could keep the the Gamecocks from moving up higher in the polls, like they deserve to be."
