There are blocked punts and then there are blocked punts by South Carolina.
Not to be dramatic, but a blocked punt during South Carolina’s matchup with LSU on Saturday might be one of the best I’ve ever seen. What should have been a routine play turned into a disaster for the Tigers and pure art for the Gamecocks.
Tight end Maurice Brown II — just put on scholarship this week — perfectly timed his jump to block a punt after a stalled drive and was unintentionally lifted in the air by an LSU player. That gave him just enough to get up and over the line and block the punter so fast that even the broadcast was stunned by the turn of events.
