Comments
This is a battle between two teams that will both likely be at or near the bottom of the SEC East when the season ends. Both desperately want to win this game. Vandy has traditionally struggled against South Carolina. Although Vandy has had signs of improving they aren’t yet to the level they need to be at to march into Williams-Brice Stadium and defeat the Gamecocks. South Caorolina wins this by at least 10 points.
