"We want Marcus to get as much recognition as he possibly can," Johnson said. "Marcus makes us look, like I said, a lot better than we've been doing. We just want to get him as much recognition and get him as many yards as possible."

South Carolina Football: SEC East Champs vs. Troy Trojans Preview | Football

The SEC East Champions will come out to a crazy crowd as it is senior day and the final home game of the season. I look for the Gamecocks to take advantage of a bad Troy defense, and run the ball as they did against Florida.

Let's hope so.

Just know that it is well within Troy's ability to beat us.

5. How does Troy pull an upset in this game? What has to happen? Related: How did it nearly make magic happen in Stillwater?

DC: Against OSU, Troy moved the ball at will and wasn't terrible defensively given OSU's talent at RB and WR. Troy led 27-20 at half and could have won the game if not for three turnovers on three straight possessions in the third and early fourth quarters.

Spurrier Breaks Through The South Carolina Glass Ceiling | Saturday Down South
The guys from LOHD are doing some moon-lighting in their spare time.

Spurrier proved that you can win at South Carolina as he has a SEC East division title now to prove it. The "glass ceiling" has been broken in the SEC East and all the credit goes to Coach Spurrier. He has the South Carolina football program in new territory due to his relentless pursuit of proving others wrong by doing what he loves—winning.

Full Court Report: USC vs. Michigan State Basketball | Leftover Hot Dog
This team has the potential to do good things this season. We'll see.

Coach Horn deserves credit as his team on paper looks to be in a transition year and not expected to do much in the SEC East. But after the heart and intensity they showed last night, I wouldn't count out the Gamecocks in the SEC.

High praise for the Garnet Army.

What does the crowd energy bring at Colonial Life Arena? It is a different atmosphere. When it gets packed in there it gets crazy. The fans give us something extra.

Walker Carries Gamecocks Past Clemson 73-59 | Gamecocks Online

South Carolina dominated the first half and was steady in the second en route to a 73-59 win over in-state rival Clemson. The Gamecock offense, sparked by an aggressive defense, was clicking on all cylinders, but none was more powerful that sophomore Ieasia Walker, who sailed past her previous career high with 30 points on 13-of-19 shooting.

The right shade of Garnet | Spurs Up
I like this. It has taken for too long for it to happen.

The athletics department and Under Armour worked closely together throughout the color development process. We have pinpointed a shade that best matches our Garnet that will be consistently used for all of our uniforms starting next fall. It is a custom-made color by Under Armour for South Carolina.
