Dakereon Joyner, USC's backup QB/WR, won't play Saturday due to a hamstring injury, his HS coach, Steve LaPrad says. "They did an MRI, and it’s just a strain. They don’t want it to tear. He hates it. Obviously, he wants to be playing, but they felt it’s better that he not." — Josh Kendall (@JoshTheAthletic) September 26, 2019

Joyner has completed 7 of 12 passes for 89 yards this season. He also has four receptions for 49 yards, to go along with 10 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown.

On Tuesday, South Carolina Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said starting quarterback Ryan Hilinski, who had to miss practice last Wednesday, made every throw during practice earlier that morning. Redshirt sophomore Jay Urich is the only other scholarship quarterback on the team's roster.

South Carolina kicks off against Kentucky on Saturday night at 7:30. SEC Network will provide television coverage of the game.

Muschamp is scheduled to make his weekly appearance on 'Carolina Calls' on Thursday night. The fourth-year South Carolina Gamecocks coach is expected to address the team's injury report during the radio show.
