The South Carolina Gamecocks now know what they’ll be up against in new coach Shane Beamer’s first season, as the SEC league office released this fall’s football schedules on Wednesday afternoon.
After two consecutive non-conference games to open the season — including an eyebrow-raising trip TO East Carolina — SEC play opens the following week at Georgia, then continues in Week 4 vs. Kentucky. South Carolina gets a chance to catch its breath against Troy before diving into a three-game slate that features Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M — but the most challenging stretch will come after the bye week, when the Gamecocks must face Florida, Missouri, Auburn, and then Clemson.
