Alabama and South Carolina meet on the gridiron for the third straight season after a previous five-year drought between the two programs. The Crimson Tide came away with victories in each of the previous two matchups, but both came down to the final minutes, and the Gamecocks held fourth-quarter leads in both games.
South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers gets his third crack at the Crimson Tide. The Gamecock fanbase showed signs of frustration after the team's home loss to Mississippi State last week. While the Gamecocks lost their SEC opener, it is a roster with plenty of NFL talent with guys like Sellers or defensive end Dylan Stewart.
