SCAR Dimisses QB Stephen Garcia After Failed Drug And Alcohol Test

South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia has been dismissed from the No. 15 Gamecocks, a move that a source told ESPN.com's Chris Low resulted from his testing positive for marijuana and alcohol. Athletic director Eric Hyman said the fifth-year senior failed to meet agreed-upon guidelines put in place after Garcia's fifth suspension this past spring. The source with direct knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com's Low that Garcia's agreement in returning stipulated he would not drink alcohol. Garcia had started 34 games, including four this season before he was benched in favor of sophomore Connor Shaw. Shaw threw for four touchdowns and 311 yards in a 54-3 victory over Kentucky this past Saturday.

Well it's about friggin time. But part of me wonders if Connor Shaw didn't do as well as he did Saturday if this move would have been made anyway????
