This will be Dawkins' sixth start of the year, with the senior hauling in six passes this season for 65 yards. Instead of a third receiver, South Carolina announced two starting tight ends, Kyle Markway and Nick Muse, who also started against Kentucky in a two tight end lineup. Moore, a true freshman, is making his first-career start Saturday night against Vanderbilt.
