South Carolina's best defensive player -- actually, the nation's best defensive player -- won't play in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Eve. Illinois won't have its all-Big Ten receiver. But aside from the Gamecocks' Kyle Kennard and the Fighting Illini's Pat Bryant opting out for NFL Draft purposes, both No. 15 South Carolina and No. 20 Illinois will be loaded and eager to battle for a coveted 10th win Tuesday afternoon in Orlando, Fla. The Gamecocks (9-3) are riding a six-game winning streak -- including three victories over Top 25 opponents -- as they shoot for their first 10-win season since 2013.
