COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina `s defense accepted coach Will Muschamps challenge and his freshman quarterback made his coachs decision to start him look good as the Gamecocks beat East Carolina 20-15 on Saturday.After last weeks loss, Muschamp said he had to find players who could tackle. His defense did him even better, picking off a pass and recovering a fumble in its own end zone and had another interception at the Gamecocks 1. The Pirates only scored on two of six trips into the red zone and didnt have a play longer than 28 yards.All that was enough to take the pressure off Brandon McIlwain in his first start. It wont be his last. Muschamp is turning the Gamecocks (2-1) over to the freshman.Hes got a lot of poise about him, said Muschamp, who decided it was McIlwains time after the Gamecocks offense looked listless in a 27-14 loss to Mississippi State last week. Hes got a lot of the `it factor you look for at that position.McIlwain ran for 34 yards and two touchdowns and was 16-for-28 for 195 yards passing.And dont go telling Muschamp how East Carolina (2-1) gained 519 yards to South Carolinas 312 yards or how Zay Jones caught 22 passes for the Pirates, setting a school record and finishing just one reception away from the Football Bowl Subdivision record.I dont look at the stat sheet and see how many yards they have. I only care about the score, said Muschamp, emphasizing what he thought were even more important statistics for Jones -- the senior had 190 yards receiving and his longest catch was for 15 yards.The Pirates turned the ball over four times and, after committing just seven penalties in their first two games, committed eight penalties Saturday.What I saw in this game is too many penalties. What I saw was too many turnovers. I saw a team that outgained another and a defense that outplayed the other defense. We didnt pull it through at the end, East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery said.THE TAKEAWAYEAST CAROLINA: The Pirates have no one to blame but themselves. They allowed a South Carolina team that hadnt scored a point in the first half in its first two games to jump to a 17-0 lead after an 80-yard kickoff return by A.J. Turner to set up the game-opening score and an 84-yard drive on the Gamecocks second possession. Philip Nelson was 44-for-58 for 400 yards, but South Carolina had four sacks as he sometimes stayed in the pocket too long.We dont look at moral victories. Were going back to work, said Montgomery, hired at the end of last season.SOUTH CAROLINA: McIlwain looked like a freshman at times with several underthrows and overthrows. But he put two passes in just the right spots on a key fourth-quarter drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal from Elliot Fry -- South Carolinas only points in the final 52 minutes of the game. The freshman also made a key choice, pitching to David Williams on a fourth-and-1 option that sealed the win.Muschamp isnt letting his freshman quarterback talk to the media, so we dont know what he thought about his big day.ZAYS BIG DAYEast Carolina lined Jones up all over the field and he got open wherever he was. But after the game, he said he had no idea how many catches he had or how close to the record he was. Instead, he couldnt believe all the chances his team blew.It hurts to put great drives together and you get to where the money is and you cant cash it in, Jones said.Jones came into the game needing 130 catches to break East Carolinas career record held by Justin Hardy. That seems more likely to be obtainable after Saturdays performance.UP NEXTEAST CAROLINA: The Pirates finish a run of three straight games against Power 5 opponents by traveling to Virginia Tech. East Carolina has beaten the Hokies the past two years and Montgomery expects his team to shake off this loss quickly.We dont look at moral victories. Were going back to work, said Montgomery, hired at the end of last season.SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks play at Kentucky.

MARSEILLE, France -- Bidding to win the Grand Prix Final for the fourth straight year, Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan faces stiff competition as two-time defending world champion Javier Fernandez of Spain looks to upstage him again.The Final, which is being held at the Palais Omnisport in Marseille, features the top six qualifiers in each discipline from the International Skating Unions GP series.The 22-year-old Hanyu is a multiple world record holder and improved on two of his own records on his way to victory last year, where he was particularly strong in free skate. He also heads to the southern French seaport with the seasons best score on the GP circuit, too, posting a whopping 301.47 points at NHK Trophy on home ice in Sapporo two weeks ago.But Fernandez knows he can beat Hanyu when it counts.He clawed back a considerable deficit on Hanyu to win the world title in April, despite skating with a swollen heel that prevented him from practicing. Fernandez got his seasons best score at the Rostelecom Cup in Moscow -- reeling off three quads in the free skate.Patrick Chan is bidding to win the Final for the third time, meanwhile, having clinched consecutive wins in 2010 and 2011.The elegant Canadian skater recorded his best points tally at the Cup of China in Beijing, where he landed a quadruple-triple toe combination, quadruple toe and two triple Axels in the free skate to seal victory.Japans Shoma Uno will be looking to improve on his bronze medal from last year, while American teen Nathan Chen -- last years Junior Grand Prix champion -- is competing in the event for the first time at senior level, having missed the worlds earlier this year through injury.The favorite among the women appears clearer, with defending champion Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia in top form.ddddddddddddhe leads the standings and boosted her confidence with a timely win at the Trophee de France in Paris last month -- the sixth and last event on the calendar before the Final.Countrywoman Anna Pogorilaya missed last years Final but will be confident after winning the two events she entered this season.In the pairs, two-time defending world champions Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada bid to reclaim the title they won convincingly two years ago. They have two victories on the circuit this season and also the seasons leading score.Canadians will be strongly represented in the ice dance, too, with former Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skating with supreme confidence, despite taking a break of two years from the sport.The two-time world champions won their two events of the season, clinching the NHK Trophy with a record score of 195.84 points.But the home crowd will be hoping that Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron -- who have also won the worlds twice -- can challenge strongly after winning impressively in Paris last month. They then finished second in Sapporo behind Virtue and Moir.A strong U.S. presence also poses a threat. For the second straight season, three American couples made the Final.World silver medalists Maia and Alex Shibutani -- who are brother and sister; 2015 national champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates -- runners-up for the past two years (check) -- and Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue make up half the field.The pairs and mens short program get underway Thursday, while the womens short is Friday, along with short dance in the ice dance and free skate in pairs.
