X’s and O’s. Head inside the Gamecocks+ Film Room for exclusive breakdowns of the best moments from the fall season.

No. 5: Xavier Legette and Coach Lembo after Texas A&M: It's the return that rocked Columbia. Xavier Legette and Coach Pete Lembo walk us through the opening kickoff return touchdown that set the tone against Texas A&M. See what Legette saw as he took the ball out of the endzone, and get a unique perspective from the special teams coordinator on why it ended with a house call.

No. 4: Stuffed with Gamecock Volleyball: There's a reason the Gamecocks Volleyball team ranked among the best in the nation in blocks. It's a focal point of the coaching staff and players and a big part of the team's identity on defense. Sit down with the team for a film session on blocking, and head to the practice court for some reaction drills.

No. 3: 1984 South Carolina vs. Notre Dame: It had been 38 years since the Gamecocks and Fighting Irish faced each other on the football field before last season’s bowl game. Step into the film room with three members of the 1984 team as we break down the film and talk about that day in Indiana.

No. 2: Spencer Rattler and Juice Wells after Tennessee: How did the Gamecocks put up 63 points against Tennessee and take down the No. 5 team in the nation in dominating fashion? Step into the film room as QB1 and Juice break down the historic upset.

No. 1: Coach Beamer after Clemson: Part 1 and Part 2: What better way to relive the biggest plays from the Carolina-Clemson game than to watch the head coach break down the film? Coach Beamer joins us in the Gamecocks+ Film Room to talk X's and O's and look at all the key plays from the upset in the Upstate.

🔼 At The Next Level. Trent Dilfer and Sports Illustrated recently broke down the top college QBs to watch ahead of the NFL Draft, including our very own Spencer Rattler. Here’s what Difler had to say about QB1:

“(He) has way more arm talent than people give him credit for. I’d say in this group, after (Drake) Maye, Caleb (Williams), I might be missing one, but he has the arm that fits that big-time quarterback conversation. He’s a very good athlete, he’s football savvy, he’s been coached really well.”

🔼 Drafted! The MLB Draft is in the books, and six Gamecocks were selected across the three-day event. On the third and final day, James Hicks was drafted in the 13th round by the Houston Astros, while the New York Yankees tabbed Cade Austin in the 19th round.

🔼 Good Works. Offensive lineman Vershon Lee earned a nomination to the 2023 Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. The team honors student-athletes who aim to give back to their communities through mentoring, food drives, and donations. Read more here.

🔼 Smart Court. Gamecock men’s and women’s tennis continued a stong tradition of crushing it on the court and in the classroom. The women’s team posted its 10th straight ITA All-Academic Team honor, while the men’s program earned recognition for the 12th year in a row.

Sarah Hamner, Jake Beasley, Raphael Lambling, Connor Thomson, James Story, Toby Samuel, and Jelani Starr all earned Scholar-Athlete honors, too!
