Game Preview

LSU is striving to find its footing after a mixed start to the season, while South Carolina is balancing expectations following a significant road win as the two squads face off. The No. 16 Tigers, holding a 1-1 record, encounter the Gamecocks, who are undefeated through two games, this Saturday in Columbia, SC.

LSU’s season began with a 27-20 defeat to Southern California in Las Vegas, followed by a narrow victory over FCS team Nicholls, where the Tigers secured a 44-21 win after pulling ahead late in the game. This weekend marks their first genuine road test.

LSU’s coach, Brian Kelly, emphasizes the necessity for focused play away from home, trusting in his team’s experience to navigate the pressures of an away game environment. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU’s quarterback, ties for the national lead with eight touchdown throws, demonstrating strength in the passing game that could be pivotal against South Carolina.

South Carolina, on the other hand, nearly stumbled in its first game against Old Dominion, eking out a 23-19 win, but then showcased their potential by dominating Kentucky 31-6 on the road. The Gamecocks have lost their last seven games against LSU and look to break this streak under the guidance of coach Shane Beamer, who stresses resilience and focus amidst fluctuating public perception.

With ESPN’s Gameday in town for the showdown, Beamer is keen on his team maintaining their composure amid the heightened attention and ensuring that the external excitement doesn’t detract from their preparation and performance.
