As expected, LaNorris Sellers (right ankle) did not start at quarterback as South Carolina hosted Akron on Saturday. Robby Ashford took over as starting quarterback

A week after a heartbreaking loss to LSU, Ashford steps in for LaNorris Sellers at quarterback and accounts for 376 yards of offense. USC improves to 3-1 heading into the bye week.

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.
