South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier goes into the fall looking for his ninth SEC divisional championship and his seventh conference crown overall. His seven years at South Carolina have seen the Gamecocks grow from SEC Eastern Division also-ran to the very cusp of SEC conference champion.

Several positions need to be solidified and questions answered through the fall practice.
