South Carolina needs a win, but can it get one?

South Carolina was expected to beat Missouri in the preseason. It still is in Las Vegas. But everything around the Gamecocks feels shakier than it did just two weeks ago after a comfortable victory over Vanderbilt.

The Gamecocks (2-2 overall, 1-2 SEC) take on the Tigers (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday at noon in Williams-Brice Stadium. South Carolina is a 1.5-point favorite, but the Gamecocks have some issues.

Starting quarterback Jake Bentley suffered what is said to be a minor knee injury against Kentucky and didn’t finish that game. Head coach Will Muschamp has expressed optimism that Bentley will play Saturday, but Muschamp has been overly optimistic on the injury front before.
