Gamecocks have 13 FBS transfers, nine of which are from the SEC

In 2009, Jacksonville State played at Florida State.

You probably recognize the name of the Seminoles quarterback: Christian Ponder.

Even more so, you probably recognize the name of the Gamecocks quarterback: Ryan Perrilloux.

Perrilloux passed for 213 yards and ran for 78 in that game, and FSU needed to score 12 points in the final three minutes to overcome a 9-7 deficit and win 19-9.

The following year, the Gamecocks rallied from 31-10 halftime deficit to beat Ole Miss 49-48 in double overtime. Last year, Jacksonville State had a victory against Auburn “in the bag,” as Perrilloux put it, before losing in overtime, 27-20.

So why are the Gamecocks — the 2015 FCS national runner-up and No. 21 LSU’s opponent in the home opener Saturday — so competitive against FBS competition?

"The difference between Jacksonville State and LSU is definitely the scale," said Perrilloux, now a business teacher and quarterback coach at East St. John High School. "When I say the scale, I’m talking about fan base, things of that nature. As far as preparation, it’s identical. It’s the exact same."

There’s another reason. Perrilloux's transfer from LSU in 2009 to Jacksonville State serves as a reminder: The Gamecocks are loaded with former FBS players.

This year's team has 13 ex-major college guys.
