University of South Carolina junior defensive lineman Nathan Pepper’s season is done after he tore a ligament in his left knee on a 19-yard interception return for a touchdown in Saturday’s 38-3 victory over S.C. State. The 6-foot-1, 291-pound Pepper underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed the extent of the injury. The question is did the celebrating cause the injury? It was USC’s first defensive touchdown in nearly two years. He may get a redshirt this season and we wish him a speedy recovery.
