2025 South Carolina Gamecocks CFB Betting Lines
When he was hired as head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, Shane Beamer knew he would only be judged by how many games he won. In the same way, he also knew that wins would be hard to come by early in his tenure. Knowing he couldn't immediately worry about victories, he had to rebuild passion for the program. Beamer did that in surprisingly short order. The Gamecocks won. However, it was usually not against the teams that USC really wants to beat. But they won and went to bowl games. Thus, the passion of the fans and players returned. Wins over Tennessee and Clemson helped South Carolina finish on a high note in the second season under coach Shane Beamer. Now, the Gamecocks aim to take a step forward in the SEC this fall and certainty have the pieces to build on last year's 9-4 record and momentum.

2025 South Carolina Gamecocks Preview
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer led the Gamecocks to a surprisingly good season as a rookie in 2021. The Gamecocks finished 7-6 and won the Duke’s Mayo Bowl after going 2-8 in the previous campaign. Beamer talked a big game when he arrived in Columbia, but backed it up with a season far better than expected. And then Beamer followed that up with an 8-5 bowl campaign in 2022. After taking a step back at 5-7 in 2023, the Gamecocks roared back at 9-4 in 2024. Wins over Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Mizzou, and Clemson added to the credibility of last season.
As a result of that strong and surprising record, the expectations are much higher for Beamer and his South Carolina program. Recruiting has improved, but it is still nowhere near the level of the top teams in the SEC. But Beamer has been fearless about his vision of turning South Carolina into a consistent winner.
The Gamecocks were one of the hottest teams in college football at the end of the regular season, finishing with six straight victories. Coach Shane Beamer’s team just missed the College Football Playoff after that late-season surge but is poised for another postseason run this fall.
Quarterback LaNorris Sellers is a big reason why South Carolina can make the CFP in ‘25. After a slow start and early injuries, Sellers emerged as one of college football’s top quarterbacks down the stretch with an average of 342.8 total yards a game in November. New coordinator Mike Shula is tasked with taking Sellers’ play to the next level, and additional help could come in the form of an improving group of receivers. Nyck Harbor is a breakout candidate, with Jared Brown and Mazeo Bennett providing support on the outside. Three new interior starters must be identified up front. The Gamecocks could lean on a backfield-by-committee approach to replace running back Rocket Sanders.
South Carolina’s defense ranked among the best in the SEC in ‘24 by holding opponents to 18.1 points a contest. Coordinator Clayton White has work to do in order to keep this unit performing at a high level. The Gamecocks return rising star end Dylan Stewart after a standout freshman year. However, fellow end Kyle Kennard and the bulk of the team’s top contributors at defensive tackle and linebacker have departed. Standout safety Nick Emmanwori will be missed on the back end.

South Carolina began playing football in 1892 and has one conference title in its history. In 1969, the Gamecocks won the ACC championship.
The Gamecocks have had moments of glory, especially under former head coach Steve Spurrier. The Old Ball Coach led USC to three consecutive 11-win seasons and a berth in the SEC championship game. But the Gamecocks have never come close to winning the SEC, let alone a national championship.
Spurrier’s 11-win season run ran from 2011 to 2013, and they finished in the top nine of the national rankings. However, the Gamecocks reverted to mediocrity in 2014 and have yet to escape their misery. USC has not finished in the national rankings in eight seasons. South Carolina has had just four winning seasons in the past eight years.
George Rogers was the only Heisman Trophy winner in USC history in 1980. Other great USC players include Steve Wadiak, Alex Hawkins, Billy Gambrell, Marcus Lattimore, Jadeveon Clowney, and Sterling Sharpe.
