- Pick/market: 28-13, stupid play by the MSU QB!!

- RB: Rushing Stats last weekend: 10 carries for 74 yards (7.4 yards per carry average) and a TD.

- QB: Huh?Woods got the nod as the quarterback MVP at the Rivals Camp December in Atlanta.Yeah he’s probably riding the bench.

- Coaching: Completely missed him being hired as the QB coach at Mizzou.

- Pick/market: I don't really have an opinion.

- Game breakdown: Well boys & girls, it's a little late in the week but I was so busy counting my money from going 12-1 in Week One of college football I almost forgot to post this...

- Pick/market: Give me some Lucian Anderson.

- Offense: Not breaking news....but Kyle Shanahan knows what he's doing with offensive football

- QB: Some people think K Taylor is a “great” QB when he’s got numbers like these while they on Sellers.

- WR: I honestly felt like the wr blocking was light years better than last year.

- QB/LB: Granted we held them to less than 200 total yards and zero points.

- QB/LB: Defense sack totals should rise if the reports on their QB’s drop back passing affinity are true to form.

- QB/DL: I watched a little of Towson in Week 0 and thought we are going to injure their QB.

- QB: What an insult to Reed if this guy didn’t misspeak and actually meant Hilinski.

- OL: South Carolina's offensive line had a strong first game of the season last Saturday against Kent State.

- Offense: It appears that we have 5 capable backs.

- Pick/market: Every RB on the planet got a carry last Saturday

- Jabree Coleman said South Carolina's preparation identified Kent State linebackers overreacting to tight-end movement on split-zone runs. On his 60-yard touchdown, he read that linebacker movement and credited the offensive line's opening plus DJ Black's perimeter block, providing a specific explanation for the explosive run rather than a general assessment of the backfield. - Coleman's offensive debut came in the middle of the second quarter against Kent State, with his other touchdown arriving late in the fourth. That timing adds context to his productive four-carry outing: he supplied explosive reserve work, but this report does not announce a promotion or a larger share of carries in South Carolina's competitive running-back rotation.

- South Carolina recorded one sack against Kent State, but Clayton White reported an average quarterback release time of 2.4 seconds across 23 dropbacks; Kent State's 2.5-yard average target depth and only four throws beyond nine yards limited the opportunities for longer-developing pressure. - South Carolina's White thought the defense should still have finished three or four additional sacks, despite approving of the rush on true dropbacks; the staff also targeted batted passes against Kent State's low-release quarterback, separating disruption plans from the final sack count. - Towson quarterback Andrew Indorf had attempted 11 throws at least 20 yards downfield and seven at 10-19 yards through two games, with a 14-yard average target depth across 40 attempts; the writer sees that deeper passing profile as a potential pass-rush opportunity for South Carolina, not a guaranteed sack total or a measured release-time comparison.

- RB: Interesting thing here is how they motion in the wide split RB.

- South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said after the 2026 opener that Donovan Murph, Lex Cyrus and Malik Clark had earned increased receiver reps, while identifying Nyck Harbor, Mazeo Bennett Jr. and DJ Black as the starters with Nitro Tuggle immediately behind them. - South Carolina running back Jabree Coleman strengthened his case for work in a heavily rotated backfield with 77 yards and two touchdowns on four carries against Kent State, and Beamer also praised his special-teams contribution. - South Carolina's Beamer identified Jamian Risher Jr. as a dependable fourth linebacker after the opener and praised reserve safeties Kendall Daniels Jr. and J'Zavien Currence, providing specific depth options behind the defensive starters. - South Carolina freshman defensive lineman Julian Walker earned Beamer's praise for playing beyond his experience level in the opener, adding another developmental option in the team's heavily rotated front without an announced promotion.

- Pick/market: Really want to see improvement from week one, although it will be hard to spot casually.

- TE: Lots of fans were freaking out about the TE position, when he was exactly what we needed.

- 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.

- QB/OL: This is our Split zone run called "Slice" but we flipped the RB's alignment to make it a same-side run, so it's called "Swap Slice." The blocking assignment doesn't change.

- South Carolina had nine wide receivers catch passes against Kent State, and Kendal Briles said the 57-0 margin let the staff evaluate the room's depth through an expanded rotation rather than implying that every receiver has an equal role in close games. - South Carolina's Donovan Murph produced four catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns on throws of 29 and 37 yards from Sellers despite not starting or appearing in the first couple of series. - South Carolina has trained Murph at both inside and outside receiver, with Briles highlighting his versatility and ability to stay ready before entering from the bench. - South Carolina continued calling its passing offense after the game was decided so reserve players could get meaningful execution opportunities, which is important context for the broad distribution of opening-game receiving production. - South Carolina's Nyck Harbor added five catches for 70 yards and DJ Black three for 62, providing productive receiving options alongside Murph in the opener rather than leaving all of the passing output to one target.

- QB: Every QB probably needs to improve as competition improves.

- QB: For example, very little in the way of QB runs or big play action shots.

- LB: I agree with all of it and thank god we finally have an offensive mind I think who will maximize his potential.

- Videos: Wednesday Coordinators' Media Availability (Towson) 09/09/26 South Carolina Defensive Coordinator Clayton White and Offensive Coordinator Kendal Briles met with the media following Wednesday's practice as the Gamecocks prepare for Saturday's matchup against Towson

- QB: There’s not a QB in the country that would succeed the way their O line played.

- QB/KICKER: That had to be about the most painful way to lose a game.

- Offense: We're bringing back this feature, where Chris dives into South Carolina's investment into football and Kendal Briles' offense.

- OL/LB: This potentially could be the best offensive line we have by the sixth game or so, when Peak is back and playing and close to 100%, and these guys start melting.

- QB: They have no quarterback, and you have to have that in today's game.

- QB/OL: They are a lot like USC last year.....no offensive line at all, so QB didn't stand a chance!

- QB: Defense played lights out, apparently their QB was really good b

- KICKER: 503 yards 42 points offense, 7 points special teams, 14 points defense for a total of 63!

- Offense: First game in along time without a sack-a-rama put a smile on his face.

- QB: , if you're paying 7 figures for a QB and don't win a title, it's wasted money.

- QB: dabo knew didn't have stud qb and made no attempt to lure one from portal.

- OL: For the first time in my memory I saw our line pushing the pile forward!

- WR: Watched Yannick Smith on Monday night look like a legit WR.

- QB/LB: I don’t gamble or even know the spread but saying this blindly, I’d take Southern + pts, if I did.

- QB: Dabo does not have much say in whether they win or lose this weekend.

- QB/RB: Out of all the games I’ve watched so far, UF has been my favorite.

- Coaching: South Carolina is 1-0 and the next game could be even more one-sided than 57-0.

- OL/LB: We might have the best potential OL in the country on our team in Gray.

- Offense: Very little is my guess.

- TE: Must’ve been something in the water 80 kids got arrested in Greenville for racing/shutting down a road

- Pick/market: Exactly, no harm no foul.

- TE: South Carolina freshman tight end Caden Ramsey was arrested early Monday morning in Moncks Corner, S.C.

- QB: The QB talent in this conference is off the charts: Manning Stockton Chambliss Leavitt Mateer Reed Sellers Taylor Russell Minchey Simmons Faizon Philo and Jackson didn’t look terrible either.

- WR: I do wonder how that’ll hold up post Hartline but Gibbs is the real deal

- QB: I didn't know that the TTT was in seconds, measured from the snap.

- South Carolina starting left guard Nolan Hay led the team's offensive linemen with a 78.2 PFF grade against Kent State, including 80.6 in run blocking and 73.8 in pass protection. - Shane Beamer praised South Carolina's offensive-line mentality and extensive rotation after the offense gained 645 yards, including 278 rushing, while acknowledging that stronger defensive personnel await.

- QB: I’m sure this has been posted already but this dude scares me.

- Pick/market: Having a grounded perception of the cause is not gArNeT bLiNdErS.

- RB: The obvious growth in the depth of the RB room in a fantastic sign.

- QB/OL: it's not like they didn't hit the portal.

- Offense: That’s the one thing about Kiffin’s teams - their execution on offense is always just about perfect.

- WR: its a shame treylon burks didn’t pan out, i thought he was the next deebo

- Pick/market: The first drive was disappointing.

- Pick/market: South Carolina needed to start the season 1-0 for Shane Beamer to still have a chance at history.

- Coaching: Success rate – whatever that is and however it's calculated – it looks cool on a graph when there are a bunch of college logos spread across it.

- Coaching: Starting jobs and depth charts are always, to some degree, fluid throughout the week and in a game, and that's certainly the case early as the season begins.

- Coaching: There was one early on that the play could have gone for more yards but they didn't quite get it blocked on the perimeter.

- South Carolina's observed opener depth chart had LaNorris Sellers ahead of Cutter Woods at quarterback and Matt Fuller, Christian Clark, and Jabree Coleman in the running back group. - South Carolina's observed starting offensive line was Darius Gray, Nolan Hay, Carter Miller, Emmanuel Poku, and Dayne Arnett. - South Carolina's observed defensive front listed Kelby Collins and Tomiwa Durojaiye at defensive tackle, with Caleb Herring and Anthony Addison at edge. - South Carolina's observed secondary had Vicari Swain and Judge Collier at corner, Peyton Williams and David Bucey at safety, and Gerald Kilgore at nickel. - South Carolina's special teams starters were Max Kelley at placekicker, Mason Love at punter and holder, Emmett Rhoades at long snapper, Nyck Harbor at kick returner, and Vicari Swain at punt returner.

- QB: Matt Stinchcomb has been and continues to be the best color guy we ever see.

- Offense: Of the three incompletions, one was a drop (although should have been a better throw) and two were underthrows.

- RB: Someone very confused why Howell and Augustave aren't lighting it up.

- QB/OL: South Carolina is gearing up to kick off the 2026 season with a matchup against Kent State in Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
