The 1968 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 1968 NCAA University Division football season. Led by third-year head coach Paul Dietzel, the Gamecocks compiled an overall record of 4–6 with a mark of 4–3 in conference play, placing fourth in the ACC. The team played home games at Carolina Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
The 1968 season remains the last in which South Carolina regularly wore helmets without a gamecock featured on them, instead featuring a garnet 'C'. The gamecock helmets had been worn in 1966 and 1967 and would be reinstated in 1969.[1] [2]
