South Carolina football fans are looking forward to this Saturday. The annual rivalry game with the Clemson Tigers will be under the lights at Williams-Brice Stadium at 7:30. The game will be broadcast on the SECNetwork and the ESPN app.

The Gamecocks will reach traditional bowl eligibility if they can pull off the win over the Tigers, and the win would mark USC’s second in a row in the rivalry series.

But fans don’t have to wait until Saturday to watch football that features the South Carolina football program. In fact, they can watch some today.

Thanksgiving is a big day for food, family, and football, and the NFL has three games to help sports fans get their fix of the third.

South Carolina football alums for the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, and Dallas Cowboys will be on the field on Turkey Day.

The 12:30 game will feature two Gamecocks. Former All-SEC pass rusher Kingsley “JJ” Enagbare and All-Pro kick returner and cornerback Keisean Nixon will suit up for the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions The game will be broadcast on Fox and the FoxSports app.

The afternoon game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders will kick off at 4:30. Four Gamecocks will play for America’s Team in the game. Future Hall of Fame cornerback Stephon Gilmore, running back Rico Dowdle, defensive back Israel Mukuamu, and wide receiver Jalen Brooks will play at 4:30 on CBS and the CBSSports app (it will be on ABC in some markets).

The night contest between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks will kick off at 8:20. Former South Carolina football All-Americans Deebo Samuel and Javon Kinlaw will be on the field for the 49ers. The game can be found on NBC and the Peacock app.
