Jadeveon Clowney, Chaz Sutton spark South Carolina pass rush

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The South Carolina pass rush came up with five sacks against a mobile quarterback in Vanderbilt's Austyn Carta-Samuels on Saturday, serving notice that star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney isn't the only NFL prospect along the Gamecocks' defensive front.

Things we learned

From AJ McCarron praising an unsung hero for Alabama's win to Oregon's epic rout, here are the things we learned from the third weekend of college football play. **More ...**

Clowney posted his second sack of the season for a loss of six, and forced a fumble on it, but it was Carolina's other end -- Chaz Sutton -- who had an even bigger night. Sutton recorded 1.5 sacks, a quarterback hurry, and four tackles on the night in a 35-25 win.

Sutton and South Carolina defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles are considered NFL draft prospects as well.

Quarles recorded a sack and recovered a fumble, while Sharrod Golightly and Mason Harris contributed in the sack category as well.
