A victory for Vanderbilt just wasn’t in the stars last week as the squad never even grasped a temporary lead. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 41-7 punch to the gut against the LSU Tigers. Vanderbilt was surely aware of their 21-point disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result. QB Ken Seals had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw two interceptions with a passing completion percentage of only 44%.

Meanwhile, USC came up short against the Florida Gators last week, falling 38-24. The Gamecocks were down 38-17 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. A silver lining for them was the play of RB Kevin Harris, who rushed for one TD and 100 yards on 22 carries in addition to snatching one receiving TD.

After unsatisfying finishes in their previous games, both teams are out for the full three points in this fixture. We’ll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.For South Carolina, this is the whole dang season right here. If the Gamecocks lose this, talk turns realistically to large-scale changes in the program and the possibility of going 0-10. So yeah, there’s a little riding on this game.

In a less season-defining way, this is a chance for USC to get its defense backs in gear against a not-great offense, and perhaps for the offense to show off some skill against a defense that is solid. There have been flashes on both sides, but the consistency has lacked.The Commodores need any wins they can get. They’re coming off a 3-9 season, and going 0-10 is somewhat possible. It’s going to be a rough season, and a win would help a good bit.Read more
