With one week left in spring, here’s how Gamecocks’ backup QB race is shaping up

South Carolina has three more spring football practices remaining, and the Gamecocks still are looking for a backup quarterback.

Redshirt freshman Dakereon Joyner, sophomore Jay Urich and early enrollee freshman Ryan Hilinski all remain candidates for the job, USC head coach Will Muschamp said Saturday after the Gamecocks held their second scrimmage of the spring. South Carolina will hold its spring game April 6 in Williams-Brice Stadium, but Muschamp doesn’t expect that game to end the competition for the job.

“We would like to make a decision in (fall) training camp because it’s hard to rep three when you’re getting ready for a game,” Muschamp said.
