South Carolina has sold out all four of its Saturday home games so far this season, generating crowds of 78,297 in the season opener against Georgia State, 78,212 against top-ranked Georgia, 77,982 versus Charlotte and 77,837 last week against Texas A&M. The only home game not considered a sellout this season was the South Carolina State game, which was moved from Saturday to Thursday earlier that week due to Hurricane Ian.
The University of South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame class of 2022 will be inducted on Thursday, Oct. 27, and will be honored at Saturday’s Homecoming football game. This year’s class includes Laura Bernstein (women’s tennis), Joyce Compton (softball), LaShinda Demus (women’s track & field), Otukile Lekote (men’s track & field), Blakely Mattern (women’s soccer), Corey Miller (football), Matt Price (baseball) and Del Wilkes (football).
Missouri has won the last three meetings to take a slim 7-5 advantage in the all-time series with South Carolina. The home team has been victorious in three of the five games played in its stadium, while Mizzou owns a pair of neutral site bowl game wins (the 1979 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 2005 Independence Bowl) versus Carolina.
A South Carolina win over Missouri would…
- Make the Gamecocks bowl eligible.
- Snap a three-game losing skid to the Tigers. The Gamecocks last win came in the 2018 season.
- Extend the Gamecocks’ winning streak to five-straight games. That would mark their longest winning streak since winning the final six games of the 2013 season.
- Give the Gamecocks’ six wins in their first eight games for the first time since the 2017 season.
