LSU football looks to attempt to save its season vs. South Carolina football.
While South Carolina football is trending up, LSU football is in the midst of a nose dive.
The South Carolina Gamecocks have won two games in a row to get back to .500 in SEC play at 2-2. Though LSU didn’t play last week due to a coronavirus outbreak, this has not been the season Ed Orgeron or his team were hoping for after winning the national championship a year ago. LSU is 1-2 and may be the worst team in the SEC not named the Vanderbilt Commodores. It’s that bad.

Odds are from Odds Shark.
So what this game represents is one team on the rise with another having fallen on hard times. South Carolina upset a formerly ranked Auburn Tigers team at Williams-Brice last week. This is a team certainly capable of going 5-5 in SEC play in 2020. As for LSU, the Tigers need to start winning games to avoid finishing in the SEC West cellar, along with the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
I hate to say it, Bayou Bengals fans, but South Carolina is not the right opponent for a get-right game at Death Valley. Will Muschamp‘s Gamecocks are playing with a lot of confidence this season, which is something we can’t say the same about LSU. South Carolina pulls off the upset with a fourth-quarter touchdown being the deciding factor, as this one hits on the over.
Prediction: South Carolina 31, LSU 27
