If South Carolina can bottle up what it did against Tennessee and Clemson last November, the Gamecocks could be a formidable opponent in 2023.
At Thursday’s Media Day, the common theme was seeking improvement from a 2022 campaign which saw the Gamecocks win eight games and in position for a ninth, only to lose a close game to Notre Dame in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl.
But all eyes are now focused on North Carolina, the opponent for the Sept. 2 season opener which will kick off at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium. The next step in the preparation is Friday morning with the first official preseason practice.
