South Carolina football needs answers in these questionable areas.

The South Carolina football season is right around the corner with a September 4th opener set in Williams-Brice Stadium. While the campaign is creeping closer, there are still question marks on both sides of the ball. Shane Beamer and the rest of the coaching staff will be tasked with finding answers to those areas of concern.

The Gamecocks’ roster saw a major transition following a disappointing 2020 season. When all was said and done, the program lost five defensive backs, its leading tackler, a former starting quarterback, and the team’s top receiver either through the transfer portal or NFL Draft.
