COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) South Carolina's Syvelle Newton, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third, came out of Saturday's game against Vanderbilt with a left ankle injury.<br>
<br>
Newton had just rushed for an 11-yard touchdown to put the Gamecocks ahead 28-14 with 11 minutes left when he remained on the ground amid cheers at Williams-Brice Stadium. He was quickly assisted off the field by team trainer Rod Walter, Newton's left leg not touching the ground.<br>
<br>
Trainers worked on Newton briefly along the sidelines before he was carted off to the locker room, his left ankle in a supporting brace. The team announced that Newton would not return.<br>

The Gamecocks used Newton at quarterback, wide receiver and running back against Vanderbilt.<br>
