Challenges for South Carolina

Vanderbilt has struggled against the SEC for sure in 2022, but they have found a quarterback. AJ Swann, a true freshman, has played very well for the Commodores. He’s completed 94 of 163 passes for 1,068 yards eight touchdowns and one interception. He was injured in the Missouri game and saw a drop in his accuracy but he is expected to be healthy for the game with South Carolina.

Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
