The South Carolina football team fell to 2-3 after losing to the defending national champs.
South Carolina entered their week five matchup with LSU on a two-game winning streak, having just defeated a ranked Auburn team to move to 2-2 on the year. LSU was playing a freshman quarterback in his first collegiate action. The Tiger defense was amongst the worst in college football. Things seemed to be aligning for another Gamecock victory.
Instead, Will Muschamp’s group limped to a 52-24 defeat, being outplayed in all three phases of the game.
