What time and channel does South Carolina play today? USC needs to stop the skid

South Carolina dropped a close game against Alabama in Week 7 that they had in their hands, and they let it slip away. The Gamecocks started off the game down 14-0 but made a comeback to take the lead 19-14 after some costly mistakes however, the Gamecocks were unable to walk away from Tuscaloosa with the upset win over the Crimson Tide.

After two straight losses to Ole Miss and Alabama and a game against ranked Texas A&M, South Carolina desperately needs a win this weekend. So far, the Gamecocks are 0-3 against ranked opponents, so a win this weekend against unranked Oklahoma would be big to get back on track and not fall below .500.

The offense was finally able to get back into a groove against Alabama, but turnovers and penalties were the Achilles heel yet for South Carolina. The Gamecocks will face Oklahoma for the first time ever this weekend so these teams won't know too much about each other.
