The Tigers carry a three-game losing streak against the Gamecocks into Saturday’s kickoff in a series that’s seen some wild finishes over the years. In four of the last six meetings, the winning team overcame a double-digit deficit, including last year when the Gamecocks feasted on a third-quarter Mizzou meltdown in Columbia, S.C. Can the Tigers shake off their tendency to let one setback snowball into an avalanche? That’s what happened last year when penalties, a special teams gaffe and an interception quickly buried Barry Odom’s team in the midst of a monsoon at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Tigers suffered similar breakdowns in the season opening-loss at Wyoming.
