South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer said earlier this week that the Gamecocks would have a true split-team scrimmage for Saturday night’s Garnet and Black spring game and he has delivered.

The Gamecocks announced the split-up roster — coaches and support staff and all — on Saturday afternoon in advance of the 7 p.m. kickoff at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Quarterback Spencer Rattler will lead the Garnet team while Luke Doty is slated to start for the Black team.

As expected, tight end Jaheim Bell and wide receiver/quarterback Dakereon Joyner will miss the game.

The rosters can be seen in the image below, provided by South Carolina football SID Steve Fink.

As seen in the image, the Gamecocks will have two 12-minute quarters in the first half and two 10-minute quarters in the second.

Drives will start at the 25-yard-line with field goals and extra points taking place live.

The roster release also included the injured players who will miss the game: Joyner, Bell, Dylan Wonnum, E.J. Jenkins, Rick Sandidge, Sam Reynolds, Jack Luckhurst, David Spaulding, Joey Hunter, Dave Adams, Cornelius Alexander, and JonDarius Morgan.

The game, which is on SEC Network+, will kick off at 7 p.m. with a fireworks show scheduled for after the contest.

How to watch the spring game

South Carolina football fans who cannot attend tonight’s Garnet and Black spring game can still take in all of the action at 7 p.m. by streaming the game via SEC Network Plus.

Here is the direct link to watch the game.

If you already have a cable/satellite/streaming provider that has SEC Network (pretty much all of the packages do now), then you do not need to sign up for ESPN+. Save your $6.99 and just do the following. Most of you probably have a TV provider anyway, since you’ll need it to watch the other games this season.

You simply need to use the ESPN App on a streaming device (Firestick, Roku, AppleTV, etc.) and log in with your cable/satellite/streaming username and password and you will automatically have access.

This is the same process you used to watch Carolina baseball throughout the last few seasons.

Roy Philpott and Hutson Mason will be on the call with Ryan McGee in the booth.
