South Carolina (2-2 overall, 1-2 SEC) plays Missouri (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday at noon in Williams-Brice Stadium. The game will be televised by the SEC Network. Here are five burning questions entering the game:
How will Michael Scarnecchia do?
As of Friday, the senior from Florida was set to replace Jake Bentley as South Carolina’s starting quarterback. Bentley has nursed a knee sprain all week after sliding awkwardly against Kentucky last week. The Gamecocks expect to start Scarnecchia this week although they will take a last look at Bentley on Saturday morning. While fans have clamored for a glimpse of true freshman quarterback Dakereon Joyner, South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp has expressed complete confidence in Scarnecchia all season, and Scarnecchia looked sharp in limited action after replacing Bentley against the Wildcats last week.
