Starter LaNorris Sellers went down with an apparent ankle injury late in the second quarter. Backup Robby Ashford steps in to lead the Gamecocks offense in the second half.

The SEC has a new policy enforcing mandatory “availability reports” before every conference game. But because South Carolina is playing a non-conference foe, it did not need to disclosure any injury information and, thus, does not have to divulge Sellers’ true status.

Sellers suffered an ankle injury in the loss to LSU. He helped South Carolina jump out to a 24-10 1st half lead with 4- and 75-yard rushing scores. In limited action, Sellers had the 88 rushing yards and 2 scores, also going 9-of-16 passing for 113 yards.
