South Carolina starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers missed the entire second half of Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt with an injury.

After the Gamecocks’ 31-7 loss to Vanderbilt, head coach Shane Beamer didn’t have any update on Sellers or starting right tackle Cason Henry, who also went down with an injury.

Late in the second quarter, Sellers took a big hit from Vanderbilt linebacker Langston Patterson, which would later be called for targeting and result in Patterson being disqualified.

Sellers, who was lying on the ground for a few moments, eventually got back up to his feet but walked off to the sideline with the training staff, where he remained for the rest of the first half. In the final seconds before the break, Sellers proceeded to walk to the locker room.

Sellers went 6-for-7 passing for 94 yards with an interception. Luke Doty came in as the backup quarterback with 1:52 left in the first half. He remained at quarterback as the second half began with South Carolina trailing 14-7.

Doty went 18-for-27 passing for 148 yards and an interception.

South Carolina will head to CoMo next Saturday, Sept. 20, to take on No. 25 Missouri in the Mayor’s Cup. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
