Once South Carolina took a 21-0 lead over Vanderbilt, it just felt like the game was over and the Gamecocks were going to get the win. The Gamecocks dominated in all three phases of the game, especially playing in what has now become a hostile environment in Nashville, Tennessee.
Now, South Carolina will get to return home and welcome yet another ranked opponent into Williams-Brice Stadium. This will be the sixth-ranked opponent the Gamecocks will face this season, as they already have a 2-3 record against teams in the Top 15.
The Gamecocks might have caught a break this week as Missouri's starting quarterback Brady Cook is not expected to play due to a hand/wrist injury he suffered against Alabama a few weeks ago. However, the last time South Carolina was ranked this season, they got beat and found themselves right out of the rankings, so they need to come in and be focused on the task at hand.
Win.
Announcers for No. 24 Missouri vs. No. 21 South Carolina
- Play-by-play: Tom Hart
- Color commentary: Jordan Rodgers
- On-field analyst: Cole Cubelic
South Carolina is set to play their second straight game on the SEC Network as they also got the 4:15 p.m. EST time slot for the second straight week with their matchup against No. 24 Missouri. This should be an exciting game and will have great guys calling the game, starting with Tom Hart doing play-by-play. Hart has been with SEC Network since 2017, working on SEC Saturday Night and also helping call college baseball and basketball.
Jordan Rodgers joins Hart in the booth as the color commentator. Rodgers, the brother of star NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, also played football in the SEC at Vanderbilt and did find his way to the NFL for a few seasons before retiring. He now joins his former conference as a commentator since 2016 also working on SEC Saturday Night with Hart.
Both Hart and Rogers will be joined by on-field analyst Cole Cubelic, who will be getting the scoop from the field. Cubelic also rejoins the SEC after playing at Auburn during his college career on the offensive line. He has been with ESPN since 2011 and has since been an analyst for the SEC and the Sun Belt Conference. He joined SEC Saturday Night in 2017 and has been an in-field analyst ever since.
