Trap games for every SEC team - South Carolina Gamecocks
Just like with Auburn and Arkansas, I certainly would not pick the Gamecocks to drop this one, all else being equal. Funnily enough, USC has the longest active winning streak in the conference against the Commodores, having won the last 15 in a row—of course, they’ve not all been dominant, but they’re wins nonetheless.
The ‘Dores couldn’t beat the Gamecocks even when James Franklin was in town, so it feels likely that they won’t get over the hump until a lot more is going in their favor. I don’t think that’s going to happen under Clark Lea, but that’s just me!
I picked this one, though, because of the interesting spot it falls on the schedule for the Gamecocks. Directly after hosting the Aggies, where USC will be looking to make it two straight home wins against A&M, and right before the Missouri Tigers roll into town, Shane Beamer and company make this jaunt up to Nashville.
Gamecock fans are penciling this one in already—and for good reason. But with A&M and Mizzou being such litmus-test games for Carolina, they may be a little lethargic as they roll into Nashville. This one could certainly get uncomfortable for the Gamecocks.
