It’s not just that Matt Fuller can be a great SEC football RB, it’s that he’s perfectly suited to be USC’s best because of the problems the Gamecocks have.

College football teams across the U.S. have their traditions, but some are a bit more "iconic" than others. Including the Gamecocks game day song.

In 2023, former South Carolina Mr. Football Xzavier McLeod was dismissed from the Gamecocks. Last season, Pitt transfer Bangally Kamara left South Carolina after being told he couldn’t redshirt. And on Tuesday, sophomore tight end Michael Smith left the USC program after playing in just four games this season.

As the announcement of an annual nine-game SEC football schedule forced it to, South Carolina began rescheduling some of its future non-conference opponents.
