South Carolina releases depth chart for East Carolina game

South Carolina released its depth chart for its second game of the season.

The Gamecocks travel to their first road matchup of the 2021 season to face East Carolina in Greenville, North Carolina. The game is scheduled for a noon kickoff on ESPN2.

Head coach Shane Beamer told reporters in a Sunday phone conference that he will not be publicly naming a starting quarterback this week. Beamer said he expects Doty to be back on the field this Saturday, following a left foot sprain he suffered in fall practice. Zeb Noland stepped up in his first start against Eastern Illinois, finishing 13-of-22 for 121 yards and four touchdowns.

Any position, whether it’s a starter or a backup, is listed with an —OR— designation.
