I believe 1988 is the most important year in South Carolina’s pre-SEC era.

I don’t know how to describe 1988 for the Gamecocks other than chaotic. They dominated their former ACC conference opponents by a combined score of 156-17, including a 20-7 win over Clemson. The Gamecocks went 8-4, but the four losses were all on the road to ranked opponents.

1987 was a season in which many fans will argue was the best South Carolina football team until Steve Spurrier’s best teams came along. Joe Lee Dunn’s blitz-happy defense was a great left hook for Morrison’s run-n-shoot offense as well. The offense had transitioned to the run-n-shoot style with freshman quarterback Todd Ellis at the helm with superstar receiver Sterling Sharpe at his disposal. Morrison rebuilt the Gamecocks’ brand in 1986. That season would stand to be the best record in school history until 2011.

Carolina did rebound to defeat Clemson 22-21, before falling to Oklahoma State 21-14 in the Gator Bowl to finish 10-2. In just his second season, the Gamecocks were on the cusp of a national championship until a crippling 38-21 upset at the hands of Navy in Annapolis wrecked the undefeated Gamecocks’ dreams. 1983 came, and South Carolina hired Joe Morrison to lead the program. This was not a time where that was an uncommon thing to see, as many national powerhouses were independent.įast forward to the next decade, when George Rogers won the Heisman Trophy in 1980 and it put South Carolina on the national map for arguably the first time in school history. The Gamecocks had just won the ACC Championship in 1969 before exiting the league, and did not exit one league to enter another like we see teams doing today they opted to be a football independent with no conference affiliation in sight. You could really go back to the early 1970s, when South Carolina decided that it was leaving the ACC. You can’t just start in 1992 if you are talking about South Carolina’s SEC history when it comes to the football program.
