25. South Carolina: A remodeled offense​

How is a drastically remodeled offense taking shape? It isn't the only question that matters in Columbia this spring, but it is by far the biggest. Shane Beamer's Gamecocks overachieved in 2021, but they did so with an offense that mainly held them back -- they ranked 44th in points allowed per drive, but only 101st in points scored. Beamer, of course, dipped heavily into the transfer portal to straighten things out, bringing in not only marquee quarterback Spencer Rattler (Oklahoma) but also running back Christian Beal-Smith (Wake Forest) and tight end Austin Stogner (Oklahoma). They must all play at a high level if the Gamecocks have any chance of living up to top-25 hype, and Rattler and Beal-Smith are in for spring. What do they have to offer? How is offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield intending to deploy Rattler and company? We'll see! -- Connelly

I am still concerned about the offense because no identity for the offense really emerged this season.

Hopefully we will improve next season, but I am still skeptical at this point.
