In the upcoming season for South Carolina, one of the biggest question marks coming in is how the hole left by Skai Moore’s injury will be filled, and in particular, how the linebacking core will perform without their star.

After last year's 3-9 season, South Carolina's stretch of three straight 11-win seasons from 2011-2013 seems like a distant memory. Steve Spurrier has ridden off into the proverbial sunset, and the Gamecocks have certainly experienced a fall from grace. These circumstances left athletic director Ray Tanner with a huge decision to make regarding the direction of the program.

South Carolina will have a chance to match last season's conference win total when they open the season with Vanderbilt in Week 1. Meanwhile, a win for the Commodores would mean they would be halfway to their 2015 total. Wins are always at a premium in the SEC, but for these two programs, a chance to get an early win on their resume presents itself as a truly rare opportunity.

While Gamecock football season's opening stretch of away games means you'll have to wait a few more weeks to get crazy with 80,000 of your closest friends at Williams-Brice Stadium, there's no reason you can't still take in the team's 2016 debut alongside your Carolina brethren.

Author's Note: The winnability rating is not meant to represent the actual probability of South Carolina winning each game. It's intended to measure how possible it is for the team to win. For example, a rating of 10 wouldn't mean that there's no way the team could lose; however, it would mean that the Gamecocks are heavily favored, and that there's no reason to believe they can't win.

The inexperience of South Carolina's wide receiving corp cannot be overstated. Of the seven wide out options listed on South Carolina's depth chart prior to the Vanderbilt game, only three saw game action last year and they compiled 17 combined receptions.

True freshman and double-sport athlete Brandon McIlwain. Former walk-on Perry Orth. Reclassified former 2017 commit and coach’s son Jake Bentley. These are the options for head coach Will Muschamp at quarterback heading into Thursday’s game against Vanderbilt. Nobody really knows who will be out on the field to start the game, but each candidate has his own selling point for seeing playing time.

There’s a lot that needs to be
improved for the 2016 football season after all of the struggles from last season. One
thing that really needs to be worked on is within the defense — specifically, their pass rush. South Carolina’s defense was one of the weakest in the SEC in 2015 and contributed to most of their problems. New head coach Will
Muschamp was most recently the head coach at Florida and the defensive
coordinator at Auburn and is noted for turning around struggling defenses.

Will Muschamp's South Carolina team doesn't have a lot of experience heading into the season, but that isn't true of the specialists. With the likes of Elliot Fry, Sean Kelly and Rashad Fenton returning, South Carolina features an extremely reliable special teams unit that could make up for other shortcomings that the team may have.

South Carolina senior defensive back Rico McWilliams will leave the program, after returning to practice last week. He had taken a leave of absence for a week of practice to tend to family matters in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which experienced historic flooding.

Bluffton native Shameik Blackshear came with high expectations when he signed with South Carolina, joining the 2015 class as a four-star recruit. However, his first season in Columbia didn't go as planned.

SEC football games are won at the line of scrimmage. A SEC team can have all the skill position talent in the world, but it will not win many football games if their offensive line cannot stop the behemoths that fill the front sevens of every defense in the conference.

The Gamecock football team will have a new look this season. Literally. The team will debut new jersey, helmet and pant options, but those changes are superficial. The real changes can be seen in the coaching staff, the defensive and offensive schemes and especially the players on the offensive side of the ball.
