How South Carolina’s two-quarterback system could make things difficult for Alabama on defense

Alabama defenses have struggled to contain dual-threat quarterbacks in the past, and the trend could continue this weekend for the Crimson Tide.

In all likelihood, Alabama’s defense will see two South Carolina quarterbacks. Redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers is the starting quarterback, but he occasionally rotates with senior Robby Ashford.

Sellers suffered an injury during the LSU game in week three. As a result, the Gamecocks had to turn to Ashford. He made one start this season for the Gamecocks. It came in week four against Akron. However, the Gamecocks have inserted Ashford in the gameplan on a week-to-week basis and rightfully so.
