According to David Cloninger of The Post and Courier, transfer wideout Corey Rucker has officially been ruled out of South Carolina's matchup against Georgia this afternoon.

Rucker will miss his third game to start the year after suffering a foot injury during pre-season camp. The coaching staff expected him to be a large part of the rotation this year, but his injury has kept him from game action.

Head coach Shane Beamer confirmed that Rucker was progressing in rehab earlier this week, listing him as questionable for the game. With each passing day, it seems we get closer to Rucker's return, but a debut was not in the cards today.
