He led the Gamecocks to the Independence Bowl against the Missouri Tigers, and though South Carolina took a 21-0 lead, Missouri whistled back to win 38-31. On September 13, 2006, his junior year, Mitchell was suspended from playing after being arrested for punching a bouncer in the face at a bar in the Five Points area of Columbia, South Carolina.[2] That season, he led the Gamecocks to a victory over the University of Houston in the Liberty Bowl by a score of 44-36. He is one out of three quarterbacks in Gamecock history to defeat the Tennessee Volunteers, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, and the Clemson Tigers in a career, the others being Stephen Garcia and Connor Shaw.
