Mitch Released From Hospital

Tuesday, Sept. 15

Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee reported Mitch was "doing well" after being released from the hospital. 

"Separated shoulder, that usually [takes] a year," Spurrier initially said on Sept. 12, per Josh Kendall of the State. 

Trailing 24-7 at the midway point of the game, South Carolina has to be concerned about its unsettled situation under center. Mitch completed just nine of 22 passes in the season-opening win over North Carolina and may be out for the foreseeable future if Spurrier's prognosis is accurate.

Junior signal-caller Perry Orth filled in for Mitch initially, but true freshman Lorenzo Nunez then took the reins at the end of the first half.

Nunez was 247Sports' 10th-rated dual-threat QB in the 2015 class, so perhaps he can provide a spark with his legs to rally the Gamecocks moving forward.
