LaNorris Sellers injury update: South Carolina QB returns after hurting ankle

LaNorris Sellers left South Carolina's game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 7, with an ankle injury, but returned for the second half with limited mobility after receiving x-rays. The star quarterback left during the second quarter after taking a sack and fumbling. He left the field and briefly entered the injury tent before entering the locker room with a trainer. REQUIRED READING: Arch Manning golden as Texas gets huge CFP boost in win at Missouri “We’re concerned, he’s got an ankle right now," South Carolina coach Shane Beamer told ESPN at halftime. "Taking an X-ray on it, don’t know the results of that right now.” Norris later returned at halftime. The third-year starter has been fantastic during the Gamecock's three-game win streak and is coming off a five-touchdown performance in a 42-25 rout of Oklahoma in Week 9. Sellers entered the game with 1,849 passing yards and 22 total touchdowns to seven interceptions. Beamer said he has confident in backup quarterback Cutter Woods, should Sellers' injury persist. “We have a lot of confidence in Cutter Woods," Beamer said. "He’s our backup. Total confidence in him.

How Chloe Kitts, Ashlyn Watkins played for Gamecocks in first game back from injury

Two South Carolina women’s basketball stars made their official return to the court on Monday. Both Ashlyn Watkins and Chloe Kitts played in their first games back from respective ACL tears in South Carolina’s season opening win 101-93 vs. Maryland in Paris. While both played in USC’s exhibition, Monday’s game was their first taste of a real game in quite some time. Watkins hadn’t played in 666 days since tearing her ACL vs. Mississippi State on Jan. 5, 2025. The tear caused her to miss the back half of the 2024-25 season. Watkins also sat out the 2025-26 season. Kitts hadn’t played in 575 days. Her last game was South Carolina’s national title loss to UConn on April 6, 2025. Kitts tore her ACL last year in October just before the start of the 2025-26 season. Rust was expected with such a large gap of time, and Dawn Staley saw some when both Kitts and Watkins played in the Gamecocks’ exhibition win vs. Benedict on Oct. 23 . That said, Staley already saw signs of the rust being shaken off in the season opener. “I thought they did great,” Staley said. “I thought they really didn’t look all that rusty,

After losing 42-25 to the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, the Oklahoma Sooners are virtually out of playoff contention.

Tight ends coach Jason Witten reportedly will take over as playcaller for OU. BREAKING: Oklahoma has fired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, @PeteNakos reports. https://t.co/bVopE8tTem — On3 (@On3) November 2, 2026 Fans online expressed relief over the decision, while some also argued that the move was long overdue following the Sooners’ offensive struggles. “He only got hired because (John) Mateer was coming with him,” a fan wrote on X. @On3 @PeteNakos He only got hired because Mateer was coming with him. — PabloWazzu (@PabloWazzu) November 2, 2026 @On3 @PeteNakos Its honestly surprising that we hired him in the first place. — CJ (@CJ_Steff7) November 2, 2026 @On3 @PeteNakos Shoulda been done a while ago but the red river victory bought him a couple of weeks.

Addi Mack joins Caitlin Clark in rare feat against Dawn Staley’s South Carolina

Nobody saw Addi Mack coming, but after dropping 35 points, good luck ignoring her now. The stage was set in Paris for a NCAAWB season opener, and No. 1 South Carolina looked ready to run Maryland off the floor after building a 28-point lead. Then Addi Mack took over. The sophomore guard caught fire, putting up a ridiculous 31 of her career-high 35 points in the second half alone. She shot 14-of-20 from the floor, buried six triples, and dished six assists, single-handedly turning a runaway game into a 101-93 nail-biter. Dawn Staley’s squad held on, but Mack still walked away as only the fifth ...

2027 Final Four odds: Dawn Staley's South Carolina favorite to win women's basketball title

The 2027 Final Four for women’s college basketball in Columbus, Ohio, is five months away. But with the season getting underway this week, sportsbooks are already predicting who will be the national champion when the 76-team NCAA Tournament concludes in April. South Carolina is the early betting favorite to win the title, according to odds posted this week by DraftKings Sportsbook. Should the Gamecocks go on to win it all, it would be the fourth championship for Dawn Staley’s program. There’s good reason to think South Carolina might run away with the national title. The Gamecocks have gone to six consecutive Final Fours and return several key pieces, including All-American forward Joyce Edwards and sharpshooting guard Tessa Johnson. South Carolina is also getting back Ashlyn Watkins and former SEC Tournament MVP Chloe Kitts from injuries, added versatile guards Jordan Lee and Brooke Daniels in the transfer portal from Texas and Michigan, respectively, and brought in highly touted recruits in Jerzy Robinson and Oliviyah Edwards. South Carolina also opened the season with a win over Maryland in Paris and the Gamecocks were ranked No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports’ preseason Coaches Poll . Second in the title odds are the UConn
