South Carolina legend Connor Shaw joins the Hit Stick Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the era that changed Gamecock football forever.

Shaw looks back on choosing South Carolina, playing quarterback for Steve Spurrier, competing in one of college football's toughest environments, going 17–0 at Williams-Brice Stadium, the Clemson rivalry, the unforgettable 2012 win over Georgia, his NFL journey and the lessons he learned along the way. Shaw calls the 2012 Georgia showdown his favorite game from his South Carolina career.

Connor also opens up about one of the most significant moments of his life: suffering sudden cardiac arrest while coaching flag football. He shares what he remembers from that day, the CPR and AED response that helped save his life, how the experience changed his perspective and the new purpose he has found through Heart Huddle.

Plus, Connor shares stories about Steve Spurrier's legendary coaching style, the quarterback room, Clemson, life in the NFL, Johnny Manziel, fatherhood, today's Gamecocks and why South Carolina will always mean so much to him.
