South Carolina depth chart: Gamecocks vs. Ole Miss
Below is Gamecock Central's projected depth chart for the South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Ole Miss.
While the South Carolina football team doesn't release an updated depth chart each week, Gamecock Central will do its best to update our own projected depth chart based on the Gamecocks' injury news, playing time trends in the most recent game, public information from Tuesday press conferences, and behind-the-scenes info we've gathered.
