South Carolina QB Robby Ashford joined the Gamecocks after spending his first two seasons with the Auburn Tigers. The senior transfer earned his first start wit

South Carolina football is starting Robby Ashford at quarterback against Akron. LaNorris Sellers is dealing with ankle injury from last week's game.

Ashford is not in Columbia because he loves to be the backup. He was a backup at Oregon. He started games at Auburn before becoming the backup. He did not transfer in hopes of watching Sellers throw the ball. He transferred because he knew he could still start in the SEC.
