South Carolina's offensive line failed to protect quarterback LaNorris Sellers, allowing six sacks and a safety. This ongoing issue, which led to the dismissal of offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley after last week's loss, remains a critical weakness.
Sellers, a projected NFL first-round pick, was limited to 124 passing yards and was constantly harassed by Oklahoma's defense. He was unable to execute deep passes, highlighting the need for better protection and play-calling adjustments.
The Gamecocks' defense held Oklahoma to 26 points, including a key fourth-and-goal stop at the 5-yard line. However, they were unable to generate turnovers or consistently get off the field, allowing the Sooners to control the game.
Last season, a win over Oklahoma sparked a six-game winning streak. This year, the loss continues a downward trend, with the team now 3-4 and struggling to find consistency on both sides of the ball.
South Carolina faces three consecutive ranked opponents: No. 6 Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M. The team must quickly address offensive line issues and find a way to compete against elite defenses to avoid further decline.
