Saturday's matchup between South Carolina and Troy went about as expected and was mostly uneventful, save for the human interest story that occurred therein. Tim Frisby, a 40-year-old walk-on at the
University of South Carolina, is known by his teammates as Pops both because of his age and the fact that he has six children. Pops spent 20 years in the military before enrolling at USC, only to decide to walk-on to the team. The Disney-movie type story became complete late in the game on Saturday when Pops caught a 9 yard pass on his first play. Way to go Pops.
