ESPN reporting:

Quote:Zeb Noland is going from coach to starting quarterback at South Carolina.

Noland, who came to South Carolina as a graduate assistant on Shane Beamer's coaching staff, will be the Gamecocks' starter at quarterback when they open the season Saturday against Eastern Illinois.

Expected starter Luke Doty injured his left foot earlier this preseason, and Beamer said it was realistic to think that Doty "can get really close to 100%" next week entering the East Carolina game on Sept. 11.

But Doty's injury resulted in Noland trading in his coaching gear for a helmet and shoulder pads and joining in the race for the Gamecocks' quarterback job.

I love stories like this.

Was initially an App State commit, as was DJ Williams who played at Auburn and Zion Nelson at Miami. Everyone trying to capture a little App State magic.

He looked OK last weekend! Luke Doty should be back Saturday or next Saturday at the absolute latest, so hopeful this story is a short-lived one haha.

2-0!

I do not believe that streak will continue this week. Lol.

So yesterday Zeb saved us from a well-earned first loss to Vandy since 2009...
