Gamecocks face off against Pirates at Williams Brice

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) (AP)–It’s game day and redemption time for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. No. 21 South Carolina meets the East Carolina Pirates at Williams Brice stadium, aiming for a win after the 52-28 loss at home to Texas A&M. While the Gamecocks defeated the Pirates handily, 48-10, the last time these teams met two years ago, Spurrier’s not counting on anything after what he witnessed last week. South Carolina’s typically strong defense was a sieve, allowing a program record 680 yards to the Aggies. East Carolina (1-0) runs a similar offense to Texas A&M, led by standout quarterback Shane Carden and record-setting receiver Justin Hardy.
