Boyd has chance to shine

Suck it up Boyd....at least you get another chance to play and represent the University of South Carolina in the post-season.

Tailback Cory Boyd was invited to play in the 83rd East-West Shrine game Jan. 19 in Houston, this is a good opportunity for him to showcase one last time to those NFL scouts.

He is deserving of the chance; Boyd led USC in rushing this season with 903 yards on 180 carries with nine touchdowns. He was second in receiving with 36 receptions for 405 yards with one touchdown.

Boyd is just the second player in school history to rush for more than 2,000 yards (2,267) and make more than 100 receptions (117). Brandon Bennett is the only other player to do that.
Also, Boyd is only the second player -- Stanley Pritchett is the other -- to top 1,000 yards in rushing and receiving in his career.

Good luck and make us proud!
