South Carolina Football: 4 Games the Gamecocks could still win this season

As much as Gamecock fans want to deny it, Dabo Swinney has built a really good Clemson team this season that could go undefeated. Clemson got through their biggest test this season already beating Notre Dame 24-22 this past Saturday.

Now there are a couple reasons why I think South Carolina could pull this upset off if indeed they win these games that I’ve talked about. One of those reasons is just the pure fact that Steve Spurrier has owned Dabo since he’s been the head coach. If there is any coach that Steve Spurrier seems to get a kick out of beating out of anybody I would have to say it would be Dabo.

The other reason is that at this point if South Carolina did win those games they would be at a 5-6 record. That means that this Clemson Game would have even more magnitude that it typically does every year. This game would stop Clemson from winning back to back season on the Gamecocks and get the Gamecocks a bowl bid which would be huge for this team. You got to think with that much on the line that a Steve Spurrier team could somehow put something in the works for a upset.

As of right now the Gamecocks have a 2-3 record which is never good when you still got teams like LSU, Texas A&M, Florida and Clemson left. One thing for sure is that if the Gamecocks do miss a bowl game and come out of the season with no more than four wins, this should be considered a horrible year, not a rebuilding one.
