South Carolina — Now Xavier Legette is back
The South Carolina receiver was back to his early-season self, and boy, it was fun to watch. A week after an A&M game in which he looked limited coming back from injury, Legette was the best player on the field for the Gamecocks. As in, the home Gamecocks. Without Legette’s game-high 217 receiving yards and 2 scores, the visiting Gamecocks of Jacksonville State might’ve ended South Carolina’s bowl hopes on the first weekend of November. The shiftiness has always been there, but becoming someone who can get separation anywhere on the field has been a revelation, especially as South Carolina has been without Juice Wells.
Maybe throwing a 40-yard fake punt to him wasn’t the best idea, though.

Oh well. South Carolina has that much faith in Legette. I can’t say I blame Shane Beamer for that.
