Vanderbilt is 0-8 against South Carolina since October of 2015 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday.

South Carolina can finally bid farewell to their four-game losing streak thanks to their game on Saturday. They came out on top against Jacksonville State by a score of 38-28.
South Carolina can attribute much of their success to Spencer Rattler, who threw for 399 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.1% of his passes, and Xavier Legette, who picked up 217 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Legette was no stranger to the big play, connecting with a big catch that went for 65 yards.

While only South Carolina took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking ahead, South Carolina is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 14 points. Bettors picking Vanderbilt against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a four-game streak of failing to cover when playing on the road.
Vanderbilt came up short against South Carolina in their previous matchup back in November of 2022, falling 38-27. Can Vanderbilt avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
