2. Who are some Gamecocks we may not have heard a lot about that will make an impact in the game Saturday?

Kyle: ​I think this is a somewhat challenging question. Most of the good players get a majority of the playing time for South Carolina. The Gamecocks don’t have a ton of defensive depth. As we saw last week against Chattanooga, A.J. Turner can be sensational when given the chance.

There is a log jam at running back for the Gamecocks so 4-5 guys typically get playing time. My best bet would be that Turner may be the guy who can make the biggest impact, who isn’t necessarily a household name.
