USC Gamecocks Football

Game time, TV details set for South Carolina vs. LSU

South Carolina’s football team will take on LSU and Baton Rouge’s Death Valley at 4 p.m. on SEC Network on Oct. 24, the SEC announced Monday.

The Gamecocks last faced the Tigers in 2015, a game that was moved from Columbia to Louisiana because of the flooding that year. Pharoh Cooper posted more than 100 yards, but the pairing of Derrius Guice and Leonard Fournette combined for 319 yards.

The Gamecocks trail the series with the Tigers 2-18-1, which includes a six-game losing streak and a tie before that. South Carolina’s last win was 1994, when Steve Taneyhill and Brandon Bennett led a Brad Scott-coached squad to an 18-17 win.

USC (1-2, 1-2 SEC) is coming off a 41-7 win against Vanderbilt to avoid being the last winless team in the conference. The Tigers (1-2, 1-2 SEC) suffered a shootout loss to Missouri, the second big upset LSU suffered this season after an opening loss to Mississippi State.

The Gamecocks host Auburn this weekend, while LSU visits top-10 Florida.

South Carolina will get a bye after the trip to Louisiana before a home game against Texas A&M.
