The Story. It’s been a football season of ups and downs, but as of late, it’s been all Gamecocks! Head over to Gamecocks+ to go along for the ride from the preseason and beyond through The Story series.
Episode 1: A longer-than-hoped offseason for South Carolina is coming to an end, with every Gamecock in the building itching to put the pads back on. While plenty of new faces headline a revamped staff and new-look offense, there's a familiar name rejoining the coaching staff, and a whole lot of veterans returning on defense. Don't let the relatively quiet offseason fool you-- as Shane Beamer rolls into year four, the Gamecocks are determined to show a renewed sense of energy, pride, and purpose this fall.
Gamecocks Access: 3rd & 16 — What a finish to the 2024 Palmetto Bowl! The Gamecocks finish a perfect November by taking down rival Clemson with some thrilling late-game heroics. A Superman-like play from quarterback LaNorris Sellers and a diving interception by Demetrius Knight was the difference in this one, as South Carolina keeps their playoff hopes alive. Relive the instant classic with Todd Ellis and Tommy Suggs on the call.
