5 Gamecocks on preseason all-SEC team

Five South Carolina players -- including Rock Hill's Stephon Gilmore -- have been named to the all-SEC preseason football team by the league's coaches.

Gilmore, a sophomore defensive back, was named to the first team along with senior defensive end Cliff Matthews.

Gilmore started every game at cornerback as a freshman last season. A freshman All-American, Gilmore had an interception, broke up eight passes and had 56 tackles.

Matthews, a second-team all conference selection last season, had 7.0 sacks and 10.0 tackles for a loss. He's on the preseason watch lists for the Lott, Nagurski and Lombardi trophies this season.

Receiver Alshon Jeffery, defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboye and safety Chris Culliver were named to the second team. -- David Scott

Anomyous 5:30...You wish. That was then, this is now. USC and SEC are the real deal. Better hope you're not on the schedule. By the way, did you have a good time in Omaha?

He's right...look it up

South Carolina only won 1 bowl game in the entire 20th Century, 1994, went 1-9 for the 1900's. LOL. Even Miss St and Dook won bowl games 50+ years before the cocks did. Most teams won bowl games in many different decades, not south carolina.

I cant find a major league university with a more pathetic football history than South Carolina, esp in the south. Their all time record is under .500 which blows, and only 1 conference championship ever. It doesnt get any more lame than south carolina football.

The $EC may be for real, but South Carolina is NOT!!!

..and I hope to god we are on the schedule. haha

USC has always been on the doormat along with Vandy...But they are playing in the SEC...Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama....probably not a lot of ACC folks who want anything to do with SEC on schedule...just ask Va Tech about their game with Alabama last year.
