Talent wise and even position group wise the teams match up well. SC has had a bye week while we just got through getting beat up by Alabama. They also get their only pass rusher back but who knows how good or bad he is given that he's been out since game 1.

SC is under even more pressure than we are to win this game if they want to go bowling but we don't have much room to maneuver if we lose it either. It's a night game so that definitely gives them home field advantage but Auburn had home field advantage too.

It's definitely winnable but odds slightly favor USC. I'd be much happier if we hadn't had the BAMA game while they were enjoying a bye. Hopefully, the fact that they scheduled us for homecoming fires our guys the hell up.

Agreed. This is a big game for both programs (for different reasons entirely) and what I feel like is really the start to our season in terms of becoming bowl eligible.

I hoped that we would be 3-4 at this point with how tough our schedule was on the front end. I thought we would have beaten UF and lost to AU though.

This is a game South Carolina deserves to be the favorite in imo, but I'm not very impressed with the job Muschamp has done in year 3 of their rebuild. They should be favored with the bye week and it being a night game, but this is a winnable game for the VOLS imo. Tough, but winnable.
