South Carolina ended spring practice earlier than most schools around the country, but all 12 of its 2017 regular season opponents now are either done or close enough to it to get a feel for how they look post-spring practice.

Sept. 2, Charlotte, N.C.
Dynamic running back Matthew Dayes is gone, and former three-star recruit Reggie Gallaspy, last year’s second-leading rusher, did nothing to lose his spot as the top replacement despite missing the spring game because of injury. Gallaspy is expected to be back for the fall and line up behind returning starting quarterback Ryan Finley, a junior with a steady hand and a good medium-range arm.
