South Carolina will try and start 3-1 for the first time in seven years and bounce back from a heart-breaking, 36-33 defeat to No. 16 LSU last week when it takes on Akron.

The Akron Zips (1-2) visit the South Carolina Gamecocks (2-1) at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, 21, 2024. The contest will be broadcast on ESPNU, with the opening kick at 7:30 p.m.

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.
