For the last seven weeks, Syvelle Newton JONATHAN has been HILLYARD earning the Senior Writer Gamecocks’ starting quarterback job. The solution — play them both. When Carolina’s offense sputtered the fi rst two games of the season, it had to be Mitchell’s fault.

Never mind the 16 completions Mitchell threw in 22 attempts against Graeme Fouste / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Georgia; it’s still all his fault.
