Gamecock fans, did you know that there is 49 days until kickoff and the “garnet & black” returns to the field. 49 was the total number of receptions for Alshon Jeffery last season.

Today there are 50 days until kickoff. Fifty days is good to say and we are ready for Gamecocks football. 50 or 50.3 was the completion rate by South Carolina’s opponents last season. The pass defense has been a strength for years, but last year was an exceptional year. Opponents barely completed half the passes […]

Today there are 53 days until kickoff. 53 is the most time South Carolina rushed in a game last season. Coach Spurrier has always had a reputation as a passing coach.

Today there are 54 days until kickoff. 54 is the number of points scored against Kentucky last season. After a disappointing offensive game against Auburn, Connor Shaw was inserted at quarterback for the Kentucky game.

Today there are 56 days until kickoff. 56 was the most points scored in a game last season. The Gamecocks put up 56 against East Carolina in the opening game of the season. At first it didn’t look like USC was going to be able to score much at all because they kept turning the […]

In contrast, South Carolina converted 74.2% of its chances on 4th down. Typically when teams go for it on 4th down they do it for one of two reasons. […]

This begins our look at the SEC 2012 football season. Since the “dog days of summer” are upon us and the 2011-12 collegiate athletic season is over, so given the fact that we are some nine weeks from college football it is time to provide some summer reading. Between now and then I will be doing capsules on […]
