GAMECOCK REWIND: The Gamecocks opened the season with a non-conference win over Georgia State, then dropped a pair of SEC contests to ranked opponents, first at No. 16 Arkansas, then at home to top-ranked Georgia. The Gamecocks then put together a four-game winning streak, their longest since winning six in a row to end the 2013 season, including back-to-back conference wins at No. 13 Kentucky and at home versus preseason top-10 Texas A&M. After a disappointing home loss to Missouri, the Gamecocks bounced back with another road win at Vanderbilt, their fifth win in six games, becoming bowl-eligible for the second-straight season under head coach Shane Beamer. Carolina will be looking to rebound again following a 38-6 loss to Florida in The Swamp last week in the first leg of their regular-season ending “Orange Crush” stretch in which they play Florida, Tennessee and Clemson in successive weeks. No one in the country finishes the regular season with a tougher slate than South Carolina, as they host fifth-ranked Tennessee (9-1) and travel to ninth-ranked Clemson (9-1) in back-to-back games to end the 2022 regular season.
A LITTLE HISTORY: 2022 marks the 129th season of intercollegiate football at the University of South Carolina, dating back to 1892.
