See how South Carolina football’s schedule stacks up.
South Carolina’s 2021 football schedule will be one of the nation’s toughest. The Gamecocks face a number of programs positioned in the preseason top 25, and could face as many as seven ranked opponents throughout the year. Shane Beamer will certainly have his work cut out for him as he attempts to navigate through that difficult slate.
Making things even tougher, the Gamecocks will have a sophomore under center leading his first full season at quarterback, a very unproven wide receiver room, a defense that has holes at linebacker and in the secondary, and a brand new coaching staff.
