      <link>https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/</link>
      <description>Coming off a disappointing 4-8 season, South Carolina football and coach Will Muschamp needed momentum and some excitement to give fans heading into the long offseason. The Gamecocks got it Wednesday, as the No. 5 recruit in the country, local defensive lineman Jordan Burch, announced his commitment to USC.

The State's Greg Hadley and Ben Breiner discuss Burch's decision and the remaining hurdle still making things interesting before diving into South Carolina's 2020 class as a whole, revealing their stars and sleeper picks.

      <title>Ep. 3: Jake Bentley out, Ryan Hilinski in as Gamecocks look to bounce back</title>
      <description>With FCS opponent Charleston Southern coming to town, South Carolina football is switching quarterbacks after senior Jake Bentley injured his foot against North Carolina, giving much-hyped freshman Ryan Hilinski a shot. The State sports editor Dwayne McLemore and reporter Ben Breiner discuss the move, what Gamecock fans should expect and what USC is doing to turn the corner after a demoralizing loss to UNC last weekend.
