Today there are 13 days left until kickoff. 13 is the record for receiving touchowns in a season. Sidney Rice set the record in 2005. Like the single season rushing TD record, this record was set during a freshman season. Rice redshirted the 2004 season and was excellent in 2005. He had another stellar year […]

Today there are only 15 days remaining until kickoff. 15 is the number of wins South Carolina has versus Kentucky. The Gamecocks are 15-7-1 against the Wildcats. That record is among the best by South Carolina against SEC opponents. The series was relatively even in the 1990s. In the 2000s, South Carolina has only lost […]

The largest crowd that has seen a game there was 85,000 for Clemson in 2001. Last season USC average 79,131 fans for each home game. That number […]

A mere 17 days until kickoff for the South Carolina Gamecocks. 17 is the record for most rushing touchdowns in a season. There have been plenty of great running backs (hint) who played at Carolina. Some of them played on teams that scored often. Answer below the fold…… Marcus Lattimore sholdn’t surprise anyone. In his […]

Today there are 18 days remaining until kickoff. 18 is the number of games South Carolina has won against Wofford. The Gamecocks and Terriers have played 22 times, but usually the games are close. Once again Wofford is on the schedule this season, and once again it is a mistake. USC plays the Terriers and […]

Cadarious Sanders, who was listed number two on the depth chart at cornerback, has decided to take his talents to Murray State. My first thought when I heard this over at TheBigSpur.com was – who? Then I remembered the time when he….well, let’s be honest there are none of those as he only played in […]

Today there are 19 days remaining until kickoff. 19 is the South Carolina record for touchdowns scored in a season. Marcus Lattimore set the record in 2010. It could have probably been even higher had he not gotten hurt and missed some games. The record was helped by Coach Spurrier’s determination to run the ball […]

Today there are 20 days until kickoff. 20 is the number of games South Carolina has played against Arkansas. The Gamecocks and Razorbacks entered the conference at the same time and were selected as permanent opponents for each other. Though there was not history of the teams playing prior to 1992, it made logistical sense […]

It appears Rico McWilliams is out for the season. McWilliams, a freshman from Hampton, GA, is the first casualty of fall practice. Hopefully he’ll be the last, but that’s not likely. The secondary is not an ideal place for injuries, which got me thinking. “Where can we least afford to lose players to injuries,” and […]
