The 2024 college football season saw several programs make the playoffs for the first time in their history. Additionally, some teams narrowly missed the cut.
One such team was the South Carolina Gamecocks, who finished the season with a record of 9-4. This marked their best performance since the 2017 season when they also recorded a 9-4 record. Their No. 15 ranking at the end of the season was the highest they had achieved during the College Football Playoff (CFP) erA key factor in their success was redshirt freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers. He passed for 2,534 yards, recorded 18 touchdowns, and threw seven interceptions while completing 65.6% of his passes. In addition, he ran for 674 yards and scored seven rushing touchdowns.
David Pollack discussed Sellers on his podcast, “See Ball Get Ball with David Pollack.” He mentioned one major area in which Sellers showed inconsistency.a.I think he’ll get better as a passer, but there’s no way I can do that,” Pollack said. “One can beat you in both aspects and last year, that wasn’t the case with LaNorris. It was extremely inconsistent through the air. “
