The South Carolina football schedule includes some future non-conference matchups that should catch the eyes of Gamecock fans.  Those meetings include Virginia Tech (‘33/’34), Miami (‘26/’27), and North Carolina (‘23).   The Gamecocks have also played North Carolina State, Navy, and Central Florida in recent years, as well as having the annual season-ending rivalry game vs. Clemson.
