Comments
According to the injury report above and other reports, LSU quarterback Myles Brennan is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game. If this is accurate, South Carolina should be favored to win. I believe the reports are accurate. If he does play he’ll probably be much less effective. Missing Brennan would make South Carolina a slight favorite or this game about a tossup. LSU has two true freshmen listed as the backups at quarterback. Both were early enrollees at LSU but that doesn’t mean much this season because of the COVID shortened spring drills. I’m going with the Gamecocks but anything can happen.
