2020 South Carolina Gamecocks football team
American college football season
The 2020 South Carolina Gamecocks football team (variously South Carolina , USC , SC , or The Gamecocks ) represented the University of South Carolina in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The season marked the Gamecocks' 127th overall season, and 29th as a member of the SEC East Division . The Gamecocks played their home games at Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina , and were led by head coach Will Muschamp until his firing on November 15. Mike Bobo (offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach) was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
After compiling a 2–8 record, all in conference play, the team accepted a bid to the Gasparilla Bowl , as the NCAA had waived bowl eligibility requirements for the season. The Gamecocks were slated to play UAB , but had to withdraw on December 22 due to COVID-19 issues within the program.[1]

‡ As part of their penalty for NCAA violations, Tennessee has retroactively vacated its 2020 victory over South Carolina. However, the penalty to vacate victories does not result in a loss (or forfeiture) of the affected game or award a victory to the opponent, therefore South Carolina still considers the game a loss in their official records.[9]
