Pair of key South Carolina defenders out for the season

The South Carolina defense lost two critical players to injury during its SEC opening game at Arkansas. The Gamecocks lost linebacker Mohamed Kaba, who has eight tackles this season and 32 tackles last season, for the 2022 college football season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Additionally, South Carolina lost senior pass rusher Jordan Strachan for the season due to a torn ACL. Strachan, who previously transferred from Georgia State, has 10 tackles and a sack this year.

The Gamecocks will look to bounce back in Week 3 as they host the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs. However, South Carolina will be without both Strachan and Kaba for the remainder of the season. It is a tough blow for coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks.

Georgia is dealing with some injuries heading into the South Carolina game as well. The Bulldogs are banged up at the wide receiver position.

South Carolina’s depth will be tested on Sept. 17 against Georgia. The Bulldogs have one of the most talented teams in the country, but have not played on the road yet during the 2022 season.
