The LSU Tigers are navigating a challenging start to the season. They faced a tough loss to USC and had a close win against Nicholls State. As they prepare for their SEC matchup against the South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 3, they are focused on making necessary adjustments.
South Carolina’s Recent Performance
Shane Beamer’s team enters this game with a strong boost. They recently won a conference game against Kentucky. South Carolina has proven they can compete at a high level. The excitement is building with College GameDay visiting Williams-Brice Stadium for only the seventh time.
Historical Context
This matchup has a rich history:
- LSU leads the series with 19 wins
- South Carolina has 2 wins

Although LSU hasn’t lost at South Carolina since their first game in 1930, this season’s contest might be more challenging. The Gamecocks’ defense has been impressive. They will aim to put pressure on Garrett Nussmeier and the LSU offense.
LSU’s Key Players
Nussmeier has shown flashes of brilliance for the Tigers. However, he faces hurdles with blocking and a struggling running game. Addressing these issues will be crucial for LSU’s playoff aspirations.
On the defensive side, LSU has room for improvement. They allowed three touchdowns in their home opener against Nicholls State. South Carolina’s talented duo of LaNorris Sellers and Raheim Sanders will surely challenge them.
