Oddsmakers don't even have odds up for this game, which does happen at times in college football when a team will be a massive favorite. Usually, only a spread or over/under will be up, but that still may not happen.

Heading into this game, South Carolina must make a statement after losing to North Carolina. Spencer Rattler has all the tools to be a game-changing quarterback.

In Week 1, the Gamecocks offensive line was a disaster as Rattler was sacked nine times, but the QB is taking some blame.

“Few of those will be on me, but we will clean some stuff up, up front, and figure that out. It is still a work in progress. You can get upset, but those guys were in a tough position. They work their butts off, and they are up there trying,” Rattler said.

Against Furman, the O-Line should be able to have success, and Rattler will pick apart this defense to cruise to a South Carolina win.

Prediction: South Carolina 48 - Furman 10
