Saturday night in Columbia, South Carolina was a movie scene as the Gamecocks dominated top ten Texas A&M teams. While fans are still celebrating, teams must quickly move on to the next thing. With another tough SEC game coming up this week, what’s next for South Carolina football?
A game against the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville is coming up in the near future. In what is generally defined as an easy win for most SEC teams to begin the year, Vanderbilt has been anything but this season. At 6-3 and ranked in the top 25, Vanderbilt could pose challenges for the Gamecocks. South Carolina needs to win the game, but don’t expect the Commodores to lie down.
Then come games against Missouri, Wofford and Clemson to close out the year. A bowl game is all but guaranteed at this point, but this South Carolina team with an improving offense and one of the best defenses in the country should be aiming for a 9-3 finish.
South Carolina hasn’t won more than eight games in a season since 2017 under then-head coach Will Muschamp. They have a chance to not only win nine games, but also be the first team to win 10 games since the Spurrier era. It won’t be easy, but if the Gamecocks team that showed up against Oklahoma and Texas A&M continues to play like this, it’s certainly on the table.
