The South Carolina football team beat the Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday, 28-7. After the win, South Carolina is now bowl eligible and will play the Missouri Tigers Nov. 16 at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Defense has been an early source of success for the South Carolina football team early in the 2024 season. As the Gamecocks reach the midway point of its season, the team's defense has provided it with both positive and negative performances through its first six games.
The South Carolina football team looked like it could be close to pulling off an upset against the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday before missed opportunities and turnovers caused the Gamecocks to lose 27-25. Despite South Carolina's offensive struggles, the defense held strong, preventing Alabama from scoring in key moments.
