The Gamecocks held their annual Garnet & Black spring game at Williams-Brice Stadium Saturday April 6, 2019, in Columbia, SC. By
South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp did not name a backup quarterback after the Gamecocks’ spring game on Saturday. He (and offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon) did that during the game, even if it wasn’t their intention.
Spring game statistics are worse than meaningless. They are often liars, but here are the numbers from South Carolina’s freshman quarterbacks anyway: 24-of-36 passing for 206 yards for early enrollee freshman Ryan Hilinski, and 10-of-23 passing for one touchdown and one interception for redshirt freshman Dakereon Joyner.
