While the Gamecocks are viewed as underdogs going into the fixture, they've not had a better chance to break their losing run to the Tigers in years. South Carolina has one of the most impressive defenses around and will surely have a plan for the LSU squad.

Meanwhile, expect Garrett Nussmeier to showcase his sneaky athletic ability and efficiency in Week 3. The starting quarterback will look to give his fan base something to cheer, especially after a deeply disappointing first loss of the season against the USC Trojans in Week 1.
