Promise Fufilled, Garcia Out In S.C ; Connor Shaw To Start At QB For Gamecocks

Steve Spurrier's calling a quarterback shuffle for No. 18 South Carolina with sophomore Connor Shaw replacing inconsistent senior Stephen Garcia. After hinting at the move since Saturday's 16-13 loss to Auburn, Spurrier made it official following Monday's practice. "As most everyone knows our quarterback play has not been as good as we hoped and we've got to do something," he said. The Gamecocks (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) seemed set at the position with Garcia, a fifth-year starter who had a breakout year in 2010 as he passed for 3,059 yards and 20 touchdowns in helping the Gamecocks reach their first SEC championship game. But Garcia hasn't come close to that production this fall. He's thrown nine interceptions and just four touchdowns in South Carolina's first five games. "It wasn't that hard a call," Spurrier said. "At some point, we've got to do something to shake up this offense and this is the first step."

Problem is Shaw hasn't proven he is any better.

But he's not lost them any games, yet, either.
