Defense and Special Teams will get the win for us.

Mizzou would be pretty good if they just had an offense.

I think our game will mirror that of their game with Florida.

24-17 Red Roosters

As citizens of the counterfeit Columbia infest the righteous Columbia, we shall behold a glorious battle. An exquisite display of feline cruelty shall befall the invaders as the mighty Gamecocks rule the roost to the tune of a three-score victory.

∞∞ Lloyd to be placed on a temporary fasting diet after he chomps through 150 yards of Mizzou ass on the way to a 35 - 18 victory.

Missouri (3-4, 1-3) is 1-4 against FBS opponents thus far this season, averaging 16.4 ppg while allowing 24.2 ppg. They are 0-3 on the road, averaging 14.3 ppg allowing 27.0 ppg. South Carolina (5-2, 2-2) is 4-1 in home games, averaging 35.6 ppg and allowing 23.2 ppg, including the 48-point blow-out loss to UGA. Saturday will be yet another raucous home crowd to greet the Tigers far away from home.

South Carolina 31
Missouri 20

Coming off of 2 big SEC wins, this is a so called 'trap game'. Gamecocks take it a bit too easy starting out, and find themselves down by 2 scores at halftime. Beamer tells his team to 'STAY FOCUS" in the locker room. Gamecocks claw back into the game in the 3rd and and squeak out a victory in 4th. Will be a W, but a bit too close for comfort.

Gamecocks - 26
Mizzou - 24

Positive: Gamecocks are playing at home.
Negative: Day Game (Crowd could less enthused than usual)

Positive: Gamecocks are favored (-3.5)
Negative: Gamecocks may come into the game overconfident

Positive: Missouri is not great on offense
Negative: Missouri is stout on rushing defense

I ain't going against the hot horse in this race. I also feel that our offense does move up and down the field more consistently than I may sometimes give them credit for some of our drive get killed by our average of two turnovers per game.

Just throwing a random guess.

Gamecocks: 34
Tigers: 24

Gamecocks are finding ways to win. We know South Carolina will turn it over multiple times because it has done it in every game so far. When Missouri turns it over, though, the mistakes come in bunches and are far more painful. The offense made the 17-14 win over Vanderbilt way harder than it had to be with four turnovers, and that’s coming off the three-giveaway game in the 24-17 loss to Florida while South Carolina helps make up for its own mistakes with takeaways, generating ten in the last four games.

Yes, the competition had something to do with it the losses came against Georgia and Arkansas but the Gamecocks are now 5-0 when coming up with a turnover and 0-2 when they don’t. The Georgia game was the only time Mizzou got through a game turnover-free with multiple giveaways against every other FBS team.

QB Spencer Rattler isn’t always sharp, but he’s able to hit a big throw here in there that arm is amazing to change things up. No, there isn’t a pass rush, but the D has been solid enough against the run, and it’s not doing a ton of breaking to go along with all that bending. The passing game will be a bit better than it was in last week’s win over Texas A&M, the defense will hold up well enough, and to hammer this home, the turnovers they’ll be there for both sides. The home team will benefit from that.

Prediction: South Carolina 24, Missouri 17
