As the Gamecocks turn the page on their season-opening victory over Eastern Illinois, one question looms large: Will starting quarterback Luke Doty be healthy enough to play this week against East Carolina? And will returning leading SEC rusher Kevin Harris, who had offseason back surgery and missed Week 1 with illness, be ready to go as well?
The good news is that the answer to both questions appears to be yes. Head coach Shane Beamer offered updates on both players on Tuesday, and Luke Doty made a media appearance as well, saying he’s expected to be “100 percent” on Saturday and technically had an outside chance at playing last week, too.
