South Carolina announces another Williams-Brice sellout
On Monday, the University of South Carolina announced this weekend’s game against the Missouri Tigers will be another sold-out affair. The stands at Williams-Brice Stadium will be full of rowdy Gamecocks once again. So far, USC has sold out every home game of the 2024 season with one more left on the schedule.
The sellout comes on the heels of the Gamecocks moving to 6-3 following a blowout win over the Vanderbilt Commodores. South Carolina has an additional home game against Wofford, but the Missouri contest will be the team’s final SEC matchup.

After winning the first two and five of the first seven meetings between the two teams following Mizzou’s jump to the SEC, South Carolina has not beaten the Tigers. Missouri has won five Mayor’s Cups in a row as the Gamecocks’ last victory came in the “Michael Scarnecchia Game” during the rain-soaked game in 2018.
Getting off the schneid against the team from “the other Columbia” will keep South Carolina’s slim College Football Playoff chances alive. The Gamecocks will need some help to make the 12-team field, but for it to be possible at all, Shane Beamer’s team has to keep winning.

Missouri is 7-2 this season and 3-2 in SEC play, and the polls rank the Tigers inside the top 25. However, Mizzou has won some ugly games and dropped two SEC contests in blowout fashion. An injury to starting quarterback Brady Cook has caused Eli Drinkwitz’s team a lot of problems, as well.
As a head coach, Drinkwitz has never lost to the Gamecocks. He is 4-0 as the head coach at Missouri, and he led Appalachian State to an upset in 2019.
