Storylines & What to Watch
In their only prior meeting last season, South Carolina dominated in Norman, jumping to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter en route to a 35-9 win. Oklahoma will be motivated to avenge that loss. The Sooners' defensive unit is a serious weapon, strong against the run, disciplined in coverage, and dangerous in pass rush. If South Carolina's offense cracks, it could be the Sooners chance to take the lead.
Traffic and Logistics
The South Carolina State Fair is in town this weekend, so stadium traffic will be heavier than usual. Parking lots are reportedly sold out for this game.
