Special Teams to be Deciding Factor Against Mizzou

Two of the last four meetings between South Carolina and Missouri ended with less than a possession difference. In each of these games, special teams were the ultimate factors in the outcomes. This weekend stands to follow that same pattern.

If you compare South Carolina’s week 1 performance with Mizzou’s win over Missouri State, you’ll find the teams are likely to be evenly matched. South Carolina finally has an offense with the ability to score. The Gamecocks showed great improvements physically and fundamentally in several crucial positions on the field, especially our offensive line. South Carolina performed well, gaining 246 yards against a nationally ranked defensive line.
