Among the most pressing questions about South Carolina’s preseason depth chart was whether or not the Gamecocks would actually release one. There is a growing trend in college football that coaches either don’t release a depth chart or sprinkle in so many “ORs” – as in this guy will start OR that guy will start – the paper provides no useful information.
South Carolina participated in the no-information campaign last year by keeping its preseason depth chart in its media notes throughout the season, leading some folks to wonder each week if Deebo Samuel really had made a miraculous recovery from a broken leg and would start that week.
