    I only see a legit 4 wins in 2024. Outside of if these who else can they beat?

    Portal and recruiting additions were significant. I say Gamecocks surprise to the upside. Beat: Old Dominion Akron Vanderbilt Wofford TAM LSU Missouri Clemson Call me a sunshine pumper.

    Playing multiple QBs?

    This isn't the Jim Carlen era. This is an era with multiple annual transfer portals, no penalty for transfer and an NIL. Old-school quotes be what they may, I think after the QB turnover hit so many teams this year through the portal, you will see more rotations at QB as a practical matter of...

    Playing multiple QBs?

    I think if you take a 60% / 40% or 70% / 30% approach, depending on the skill differential between 1 and 2 you could potentially keep both happy enough to stick around. In a 1 QB system the back-up never sees the field unless there is injury or you are up by 21 points in the 4th quarter against...

    Playing multiple QBs?

    No one is suggesting that a quarterback rotation it is optimal from an offensive production standpoint, but instead a new reality of the portal. This year we had to replace 2 quarterbacks in the portal. My suggestion is that because of the portal you won't be able to keep a good back-up QB...

    Playing multiple QBs?

    I wonder if the more-or-less continuous transfer portal and the fact that no one will be patient as a back-up QB, means teams will have to start playing multiple quarterbacks, like is done at running back and virtually every other position. Having one starting guy is nice but if you can't...

    Impressed with Beamer's portal efforts

    Based on bringing in 20 portal players, mostly seniors (11/20) it appears there is a sense of urgency to win now and a transfer recruiting effort to match. I agree with that sentiment. It means a high level of turnover again next year but we clearly didn't have the depth needed to get the...

    Doty back to QB?

    In my opinion a lot of our supposed quarterback problems through the years can be traced to poor offensive line play and receivers who can't get separation. I think Doty and others would look a whole lot better behind Alabama or Michigan's line. Rattler worked miracles behind a line that gave...

    Doty back to QB?

    I do feel better after the Beville kid is signed as preferred walk-on from Oklahoma and Pitt. Beville could be similar to Zeb Nolan. I am sure he could come in and play at a high level and win games with 5 years of Power 5 football experience. But I think Doty is under appreciated as a QB and is...

    Doty back to QB?

    I hope for their sake they are that fast but other sites don't have them that quick.

    Doty back to QB?

    I agree. In my fan group every single one of us thought Anderson was the guy after the first couple of carries and it took Hardesty way too many games to figure it out.

    Doty back to QB?

    Moving DAK to RB seems so foolish in hindsight. He never looked like a RB to me - but was good as a QB and good as a receiver! What a waste of his senior season! Someone had to be fired for that debacle. They put all the effort into getting DIggs and didn't have enough RB depth when DIggs went...

    Doty back to QB?

    Beamer tried to get another transfer scholarship QB, but we only got a preferred walk-on. To me right now Doty looks like at least our 2nd best QB. Doty is the highest ranked QB recruit on the roster, and higher ranked as a recruit than many of the transfer options that turned us down. Doty was...

    Auburn QB transfer Ashford set to visit Friday

    When is the latest they can enroll in Spring classes and still participate in Spring practice?

    Worried about QB depth

    You only need QB depth if you want a good chance at a winning season. Two reasons we need depth: 1) Injuries. Rattler was incredibly durable but injuries, even season-ending injuries, can and do happen to quarterbacks. Rattler was smart about protecting himself. 2) We may be overestimating...

    Worried about QB depth

    We picked up the DT and another OT. So our depth looks really good everywhere except QB. Surely a QB will see how solid the O-line looks now compared to last year and be cocky enough to take on Sellers reputation. Honestly, this team looks to be very strong on paper going into 2024 with a QB...
