5 things to look for at the spring game

The last of South Carolina’s allotted 15 practices will take place this Saturday in the form of the annual Garnet & Black Spring Game. While the public scrimmage is simply the last practice of the spring, there are several questions that could be answered Saturday. Here are five things to look for this weekend at the spring game.


3 spring game questions answered

When South Carolina’s 2015 spring practice comes to a close on Saturday with the annual Garnet & Black Spring Game, the Gamecocks will have completed one of the bigger transitional periods since head coach Steve Spurrier took over in 2004.


Gamecocks begin spring practice

The arrival of warm weather in SEC country signals the beginning of outdoor football practices. After a long offseason of weightlifting, cardio workouts and individual drills, the Gamecocks began spring practices Tuesday.


Spurrier adds Hoke to staff

30.4 points and 432.7 yards per game later, South Carolina has finally made plans to improve its defense in anticipation of the 2015 season.  Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier formally introduced Jon Hoke as one of South Carolina’s new co-defensive coordinators at a press conference on Monday, also noting that Lorenzo Ward, the Gamecocks’ defensive coordinator since 2009, will also work under the same title as Hoke.  The University of South Carolina Board of Trustees approved the hire of Hoke Monday morning.


South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward and the rest of the Gamecock staff made beefing up South Carolina's defensive line a point of emphasis this past recruiting season.
