South Carolina starting quarterback Connor Mitch is likely out for the season with a shoulder injury, Steve Spurrier told reporters following the Gamecocks’ loss to Kentucky this evening.

Mitch, a sophomore, suffered a separated shoulder in the game against the Wildcats.

Spurrier said “that usually takes a year” to recover from.
