The team was considered talented, with a mix of veterans and competing underclassmen, and had eight home games on their schedule. However, new offensive coordinator Dave Fagg's pass-heavy offense was considered incompatible with the personnel. Among the quarterbacks, Gordon Beckham had led the upset over No. 3 North Carolina in the previous season but was not considered an elite passer, while Bill Bradshaw was a running quarterback. Throughout the season, the Gamecocks were "woeful" on offense, producing just 324 yards per game. South Carolina's loss to Furman, their first since 1949, started raising questions about Bell's job security.Gillespie Bob July 22, 2020 Richard Bell, one-and-done as USC coach: How 1982 season shaped him, players, program https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article244216117.html September 18, 2024 The State Bell was fired in the offseason after refusing to fire four offensive coaches at the request of the athletic director.Richard Bell, who was dismissed after a losing season... - UPI Archives https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/07/11/Richard-Bell-who-was-dismissed-after-a-losing-season/2038458366400/ 2024-09-19 UPI enGillespie Bob July 22, 2020 Richard Bell, one-and-done as USC coach: How 1982 season shaped him, players, program https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article244216117.html September 18, 2024 The State Schedule 1982 AP Eastern September 4 7:00 p.m. w Pacific (CA) Williams–Brice Stadium Columbia, SC 41–6 61,254 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-modesto-bee-100-yard-fumble-helps-ga/139789565/ The Modesto Bee 100-yard fumble helps Gamecocks knock off Pacific September 5, 1982 January 28, 2024 Newspapers.com September 11 w Richmond Williams–Brice Stadium Columbia, SC 30–10 52,288 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112193401/gamecocks-ease-past-richmond-3010/ The Charlotte Observer Gamecocks ease past Richmond 30–10 September 12, 1982 October 28, 2022 Newspapers.com September 18 l Duke Williams–Brice Stadium Columbia, SC 17–30 66,928 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-news-and-observer-bennett-leads-duke/139786880/ The News and Observer Bennett leads Duke over S.C.
