FILE - South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler (7) runs for a first down during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Kentucky on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, in Columbia, S.C. South Carolina's best playmakers on offense the past two years are all gone, meaning this spring is a search for consistency and production from an attack that had its struggles last season. With Rattler and Xavier Legette awaiting NFL draft picks — Legette a likely first-rounder, Rattler a mid-round choice — it's up to inexperienced newcomers and transfers to push the Gamecocks forward.

FILE - Auburn quarterback Robby Ashford throws a pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Mississippi, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Auburn, Ala. South Carolina coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have spent spring ball concentrating on those on the field, not those who left. That includes former Auburn quarterback Ashford, who started 10 games in two years with the Tigers, to go along with highly regarded sophomore LaNorris Sellers, a five-star prospect who learned behind Rattler a season ago.
