COLUMBIA — South Carolina football has its last of two open dates for the 2025 season and does not play on Nov. 8 in Week 11.

The Gamecocks (3-6, 1-6 SEC) have not won since before their last open date, which came after a win over Kentucky on Sept. 27.

South Carolina will resume play with a difficult road game against No. 3 Texas A&M on Nov. 15 (noon ET), which hasn’t lost a game all season. The Aggies (8-0, 5-0) play Missouri this week before taking on the Gamecocks.

South Carolina is off in Week 11. The Gamecocks and coach Shane Beamer will use the open date to prepare for the final three games without offensive coordinator Mike Shula, who Beamer fired on Nov. 2.

Shula didn’t finish a full season calling plays for South Carolina and was let go after the Gamecocks’ sixth loss in the last seven games. The Gamecocks are last in the SEC in total offense (294.1), 15th in passing yards (193.3), last in rushing yards (108.8) and last in points (19.7) per game.

South Carolina ends 2025 with a non-conference home game against Coastal Carolina on Nov. 22 then the Palmetto Bowl against Clemson on Nov. 29.
