American college football season
The 2002 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2002 NCAA Division I-A football season . The Gamecocks were led by Lou Holtz in his fourth season as head coach and played their home games in Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina .
In 2002, South Carolina expanded their regular season from eleven to twelve games, an allowance for every college football program that the NCAA would soon make permanent. However, the Gamecocks did not take advantage of their extra game this season, as they did not finish bowl-eligible and had their first losing season since 1999 .
