South Carolina football to open 2028 season against Bowling Green
Summary

South Carolina football will kick off its 2028 season by hosting Bowling Green on August 26, marking the earliest opener in program history. This matchup is notable as it is the first game between the two teams. The decision to schedule this game followed the cancellation of a planned home-and-home series with North Carolina, a move influenced by both the ACC and SEC adopting a nine-game conference schedule. The last early season game for South Carolina occurred in 2014 against Texas A&M on August 28. Coach Shane Beamer, entering his sixth season, has been facing scrutiny after a 4-8 record in 2025.
