Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier announced Tuesday that QB Connor Shaw is "fine" and that the junior will play Saturday versus Missouri.

Shaw was knocked out of last week's game against UAB after re-injuring his slightly fractured right shoulder. The junior practiced full on Tuesday and will need to be effective in both the passing and running game in order to stretch the Tigers defense.

South Carolina starting junior QB Connor Shaw was limited but did practice Tuesday.

The Gamecocks face UAB on Saturday and it is unknown if Shaw will be healthy enough to play after suffering a shoulder injury in the team's opener. Head coach Steve Spurrier stated earlier in the week that if Shaw is healthy he will be the starter.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

After the team's win over East Carolina, Steve Spurrier said that if junior QB Connor Shaw is 100 percent healthy, "he's our guy."

Dylan Thompson flashed well in a starting role, completing 21-of-37 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Still, the team's ground game is much better with Shaw in the game. The junior hurt his shoulder in the team's opener last week.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina junior QB Connor Shaw will be a gametime decision for the team's game against ECU on Saturday.

Shaw will reportedly try to throw in practice today, but even if he does not throw by Thursday, the junior could still start the game. He was reportedly having trouble lifting the injured right arm on Monday. Redshirt sophomore Dylan Thompson would get the nod as the starter in Shaw's absence.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier revealed Sunday that junior QB Connor Shaw is having trouble lifting his injured right arm.

Spurrier added that "it’s just painful for him," right now, and the team is utilizing a "wait and see" approach in terms of Shaw's availability against ECU. The junior threw for only 67 yards in the team's opener, but the offense stalled without him. Obviously Shaw's best asset is his running ability, however, he must be able to protect his body at the end of runs to continue that success.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina junior QB Connor Shaw completed 7-of-11 passes for 67 yards and one interception, but did most of his work on the ground with 97 rushing yards.

Shaw sat out from the middle of the second quarter to the middle of the third with a right shoulder injury. Once he returned, Shaw took a few more big hits and winced in pain after each one. Without the ability to take a hit, Shaw becomes a far less valuable option since he is at his best running the ball.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

After leaving the game in the second quarter and staying in the locker room past halftime, South Carolina junior QB Connor Shaw returned to the game.

Shaw returned halfway through the third quarter. Even though many may worry about his passing ability since the injury occurred to the junior's throwing shoulder, we wonder if the injury will limit his running success more. Without his production on the ground, Shaw is a much less effective quarterback.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina starting junior QB Connor Shaw injured his right throwing shoulder and was taken to the locker room.

The injury was announced as a shoulder contusion and the quarterback stayed in the locker room at the start of the second half. Shaw was hurt when tackled on a run, electing to dive head first instead of sliding to prevent injury. He was reportedly wincing in pain with every movement along the sideline. Even though the junior's best asset is his mobility, it is not wise to consistently take the punishment after a gain on the ground. Sophomore Dylan Thompson replaced Shaw on the field.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw threw two touchdown passes and rushed for a score to lead the Gamecocks to a 30-14 victory over Nebraska in the Citrus Bowl.

Shaw only threw 17 passes but completed 11 of them for 229 yards and two touchdowns. Since taking over the starting role on Oct. 8, Shaw has thrown 14 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. The sophomore's one-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter was his eighth of the year. Things look promising for Shaw going forward, who accounted for 11 total touchdowns in the team's final three games.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

Quarterback Connor Shaw (concussion) is expected to play this Saturday against Florida, according coach Steve Spurrier.

Though Shaw did not practice yesterday, he did well in concussion tests with the staff and has been medically cleared to play on Saturday. The sophomore QB was injured last week in a loss against Arkansas, and his status was up in the air as of yesterday. Barring any setbacks however, Shaw should be able to lead the Gamecocks against the Gators this week.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina quarterback Conner Shaw suffered a concussion in Saturday’s loss to Arkansas and will not practice until Wednesday at the earliest.

Saturday’s game against Florida marks the Gamecocks final SEC battle this season. They may have to go at it without Shaw, who was hurt when sacked by Arkansas’ Jake Bequette. Freshman Dylan Thompson will take first-team snaps in practice until Shaw is ready to return -- if he is at all this week. Shaw, who won the No. 1 job from the since-departed Stephen Garcia, was injured with about five minutes remaining in the game and lost a fumble on the play.

Connor Shaw threw for 311 yards and 4 touchdowns in South Carolina’s 54-3 romp over visiting Kentucky.

Frustrated over Stephen Garcia’s inability to get much going through the air, coach Steve Spurrier gave the keys to Shaw. The sophomore responded with a memorable effort in igniting an offense that rolled up 639 yards. Shaw’s 4 TDs were as many as Garcia had thrown the first five weeks.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is giving Connor Shaw the start over Stephen Garcia for Saturday’s game against Kentucky.

Spurrier gave the embattled Garcia every chance. In the last two weeks, the senior was 25-of-53 with 6 INTs and is nowhere to be found among the nation's top 100 quarterbacks in pass efficiency. Enter the sophomore Shaw, who started the opener, but has just 11 attempts on the season. He was 23-33-223 and 1:2 last year.

Connor Shaw - QB - Gamecocks

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said Thursday that sophomore Connor Shaw will start over Stephen Garcia.

The Ol' Ball Coach waited and waited to name his starter for Saturday's opener against East Carolina. Spurrier said that Shaw "rated better" than Garcia in fall drills. It's not as though Garcia won't be heard from, however, as Spurrier indicated the veteran QB will play the second quarter and he will evaluate from there.
