The South Carolina Gamecocks enter Week 2 as a bit of a wounded bunch, literally if not figuratively, after their bruising loss to North Carolina. Fortunately, a kinder matchup awaits in the Buccaneers of FCS program Charleston Southern, who will open the home slate at Williams-Brice. With a new quarterback and some new throwback threads, the Gamecocks will look to bounce back in style.
Set Ryan Hilinski up for success. With former starting quarterback Jake Bentley injured and possibly done as a Gamecock, the highly-touted former four-star prospect from California will get his first crack as the leader of the Garnet and Black.
