The SEC has a new policy enforcing mandatory “availability reports” before every conference game. But because South Carolina is playing a non-conference foe, it did not need to disclosure any injury information and, thus, does not have to divulge Sellers’ true status.

Why the South Carolina Gamecocks beating Akron is so important for the program. The South Carolina Gamecocks are already two games into their conference schedule this year but in week four they are getting a bit of a breather.

South Carolina will try and start 3-1 for the first time in seven years and bounce back from a heart-breaking, 36-33 defeat to No. 16 LSU last week when it takes on Akron.
