South Carolina’s 2018 football season begins Thursday as the Gamecocks report for fall camp. The team will take the practice field for the first time Friday morning, and here are five things we’ll be watching especially close this fall.

That’s not the same as ingraining the system into every player in the rotation, and that’s what spring practice and this fall were about. Junior quarterback Jake Bentley acknowledged that the team’s player-run practices this summer showed the offense isn’t second nature yet.
