The last time Skai Moore opened a football season on the field was also the last time South Carolina opened the season at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
It worked out well for the linebacker and the Gamecocks. Moore intercepted two passes in the end zone, and South Carolina beat North Carolina 17-13 on Sept. 3, 2015. That season was the last time the Cooper City, Fla., native played because he sat out 2016 because of a herniated disc in his neck that required surgery.
Moore is back on the field this year, and the Gamecocks are back in the home of the Carolina Panthers for the first game of the season.
