Gamecocks have questions for opener

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — So Steve Spurrier finally settled on South Carolina's starting quarterback. He just wishes that was his only question on offense.

The coach went with third-year sophomore Connor Mitch for Thursday night's opener against North Carolina, and the third-year sophomore is one of several variables on the offensive side of the ball.

Junior Pharoh Cooper is the lone receiver with significant experience and perhaps the only player on offense with any star power. There are worries at running back after Mike Davis left for the NFL and at tight end where starter Jarrell Adams has just three career touchdowns despite playing 26 games the past two seasons.
