South Carolina football’s new starting QB looks a lot like a player from the past.

Freshman signal caller Luke Doty came into last week’s game after halftime with the Gamecocks trailing Missouri by a score of 17-0. The South Carolina offense had struggled to move the ball, with the Tigers holding the unit to just 79 yards over the first two quarters.

With Doty under center, though, South Carolina was able to gain 208 second half yards and score their only 10 points of the ballgame.
