South Carolina Football: ESPN Projects the Gamecocks’ Win Total in 2020
By Jacob Elsey
Clemson (1) – 3% chance to win
ESPN ranks Clemson as the top team in college football, and gives the Gamecocks a slim chance to pull the upset in Memorial Stadium. The Tigers return a star-studded offense with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne, and wide receiver Justyn Ross, but they’ll need to replace some key defenders, most notably first-round picks Isaiah Simmons and AJ Terrell. The game ends a brutal late-season stretch for the Gamecocks, but they’ll look to knock off the Tigers and ruin their chances of returning to the national title game.
