Robby Ashford has appeared in two games so far this season serving primarily as the backup to LaNorris Sellers. Now with Sellers going down to injury, Ashford will be asked to step up against Akron.

The Akron Zips (1-2) visit the South Carolina Gamecocks (2-1) at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, 21, 2024. The contest will be broadcast on ESPNU, with the opening kick at 7:30 p.m.

The SEC has a new policy enforcing mandatory “availability reports” before every conference game. But because South Carolina is playing a non-conference foe, it did not need to disclosure any injury information and, thus, does not have to divulge Sellers’ true status.
