The last time South Carolina played in Bank of America Stadium, they left with a 17-13 victory.
Chances are this time more than 30 total points will be scored, and the Gamecocks won’t leave winners. At least that’s what the sports books say. N.C. State is a 5-point favorite in what will be the 58th time these two former ACC rivals have played. The series dates back to 1900 and is remarkably even with South Carolina leading 27-26-4. The last eight meetings have resulted in four wins for each team.
The Gamecocks bring an offense that has higher expectations than 17 points and a defense that will be hard pressed to hold any Power 5 opponent to 13 or fewer, so fans can expect some points to be scored Saturday.
