South Carolina prepares for nonconference matchup against Towson at home

South Carolina hosts Towson on September 12 at 7 p.m. ET in Williams-Brice Stadium. This nonconference matchup serves as the final test for the Gamecocks before they begin their SEC schedule against Mississippi State in Week 3. South Carolina enters the contest at 1-0 following a 57-0 season-opening victory over Kent State that saw the team accumulate 645 total yards of offense. Coach Shane Beamer stated that the team needs to refine certain defensive areas, specifically perimeter containment, ahead of this game. Towson arrives in Columbia with an 0-2 record and is looking to build on performances from wide receiver Cleveland Charlton and quarterback Andrew Indorf. Defensive end Dylan Stewart and offensive lineman Jacarrius Peak remain sidelined due to injury, though both have returned to practice in pads.
