1. Who will be the Quarterback?

The most obvious hole that South Carolina has to address is the quarterback position. South Carolina has not had this little passing experience on the roster in years.

Only one of the four quarterbacks set to compete for job, Connor Mitch, completed a pass for the Gamecocks last year, and he only completed 2-of-6. The other quarterbacks to watch in the spring game are Perry Orth and Michael Scarnecchia. The fourth quarterback, rookie Lorenzo Nunez will not arrive on campus until fall camp starts.

With one quarterback yet to arrive, and all the quarterbacks lacking quality game time experience, Spurrier will probably wait until the end of fall camps if not later to announce a starter. With that in mind, expect all three guys to get a chance to prove themselves on Saturday.

Even if someone does separate himself from the others if it might not matter too much considering Spurrier recently told ESPN.com that he might play multiple quarterbacks next season.
