South Carolina football begins its season this Saturday with a 7 PM matchup against Eastern Illinois in Williams-Brice Stadium. The contest will kick off the Gamecocks’ first season under new head coach Shane Beamer, who replaces Will Muschamp on the sidelines.
Expectations aren’t extremely high in Columbia, with most outsiders believing it will be tough for the Gamecocks to reach .500 and a bowl game.
