South Carolina heads into the 2025 offseason with a lot of hype. After finishing 9-3, the Gamecocks return a lot of talent that could potentially catapult them

South Carolina needed something positive. Not that the Gamecocks were left for dead, but things couldn’t have gotten much worse. They hadn’t won an SEC game, let a monumental upset against Auburn slip through their fingers and were coming off a loss to Oklahoma that included surrendering 15-straight points late in the game.

Winning on the road in the SEC is never easy, but Florida trailed until the final moments on Wednesday against South Carolina.
