🎥 TAILGATE TALKS

Tailgate Talks. Two of the best quarterbacks to ever come through South Carolina happened to be teammates and it led to some of the best years the program has ever seen. But with only one football to go around, it also produced competition, growth, and maybe a tiny bit of animosity.

However, all these years later, Connor Shaw and Stephen Garcia are closer than they’ve ever been. With the help of their favorite fullback, they sit down to talk about those great times as a Gamecock, what life is like now, and everything in between on this episode of Tailgate Talks.
