South Carolina coordinator Kendal Briles estimated that 70 to 75 percent of the offense's plays against Kent State were run-pass options, with the new attack pairing that heavier RPO usage with consistent tempo.

South Carolina's coaches praised LaNorris Sellers' first outing in the system but identified occasions when he threw despite a handoff read, emphasizing decisive, disciplined reads rather than treating successful results against Kent State as proof that every choice was correct.

South Carolina's Sellers completed 19 of 23 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns without an interception before exiting after the first second-half drive, with only one intentional quarterback run for five yards separate from a four-yard sack loss.

South Carolina produced 645 yards and eight offensive touchdowns in the 57-0 opener, but the report cautioned that favorable results against Kent State could conceal RPO-read mistakes that become more costly against stronger opponents.
