COLUMBIA, SC - OCTOBER 17: Interim head coach Shawn Elliott of the South Carolina Gamecocks watches on as quarterbacks Michael Scarnecchia #12 and Perry Orth #10 of the South Carolina Gamecocks warm up before their game against the Vanderbilt Commodores at Williams-Brice Stadium on October 17, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina.

For the South Carolina Gamecocks, Saturday's matchup against Vanderbilt marked the first game of the Shawn Elliott era.
The interim coach has taken over for the newly-resigned Steve Spurrier, and undoubtedly wants to make his mark on the program.
If Saturday is any indication, it appears as if there's a whole lot more energy percolating from the squad.
Elliott had the Gamecocks in a complete frenzy as they entered the field from the locker room. As a tribute to Spurrier, Elliott was carrying a white visor in the air.
Couple that with the black alternate jerseys and white towels, and Williams-Brice Stadium looks absolutely euphoric in its first game since catastrophic flooding in the city and the state.
