Last Thursday, one team put up 52 points and 680 total yards of offense in their season opener at Williams-Brice.
Kenny Hill: It took him only one game as a starter to pass for more yards in a game than former Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, but sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill shattered Manziel’s mark.
Overshadowed by an atrocious defensive performance, the Gamecock receiving core was one of the only bright spots for the team against Texas A&M.
Reaching the SEC championship game isn’t a lost cause for the No. 9 South Carolina football team. But it is going to be much harder than anticipated.
There’s talent across the board when you look at South Carolina’s wide receiver and tight end positions.

Thursday’s season opening matchup between South Carolina and Texas A&M will be the first live football broadcast on the SEC Network. The channel’s new pregame show, “SEC Nation,” will make its maiden voyage, as well.
Rumors regarding junior running back Mike Davis’ health spread like wildfires. But those wildfires have been extinguished by head coach Spurrier.

South Carolina’s most painstakingly obvious task coming into the 2014 season was replacing starting cornerbacks Victor Hampton and Jimmy Legree in a depleted defensive secondary.
This isn’t your grandpa’s South Carolina.
The No. 12 Clemson Tigers and the No. 16 Georgia Bulldogs will face off this weekend in a game that has many Gamecock fans wondering, “Is there any possible way that both teams could lose…because that would be awesome.”
In the list of items prohibited by USC Athletics from tomorrow’s football game, you have your usual contraband: explosives, illegal drugs, alcohol and parrots.
With redshirt sophomore Perry Orth and redshirt freshman Connor Mitch jostling for the distinction of backup QB, it doesn’t look as though Spurrier will make a decision until he absolutely has to.
