What Dreams Are Made Of. You know him as a standout player for the Gamecocks under Steve Spurrier, but now he's back, looking to bring some of that success along with him. Travian Robertson joins us on this episode of Gamecock Talk to tell us why coming home has been a dream come true.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Best In The SEC. QB1 is your SEC Offensive Player of the Week! Spencer Rattler earned the weekly award nod from the conference this week after completing more than 92% of his passes en route to throwing for 345 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday night. His most impressive moment? A 20-second, three-play drive that culminated in a score.
🔼 Spring Ready. South Carolina softball will return to the diamond with some new faces this spring! Extra Inning Softball and D1 Softball released their transfer class rankings this week, and the Gamecocks checked in with the second and fourth-ranked classes, respectively.
🔼 Back Under The Lights. Another night game at Willy B? Yes, please! South Carolina announced its Week 4 home battle with Mississippi State will kick at 7:30pm ET. You can snag tickets for the September 23 clash here.
🔼 Tee Time. Hannah Darling earned her third straight ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch List honor yesterday before Gamecock women’s golf teed off on a new season in Minnesota. The junior All-American has posted two standout seasons in the Garnet & Black and looks to capitalize on her early career momentum.
If you’re wondering how Hannah became so good at what she does, she joined the Gamecock Talk podcast to tell her story. Listen on Apple or Spotify.
And speaking of Gamecock women’s golf, Round 1 is in the books at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate, and your squad is in the top spot! South Carolina shot 15 under par and will enter today in first place.
Second-round play gets underway from the Land of 10,000 Lakes today; follow along with live scoring here.
🤔 GAMECOCK TRIVIA
