Mizzou has had some recent success in the series, but is this South Carolina a different beast?
Missouri football (7-2, 3-2 SEC) goes on the road Saturday to face the Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. Both teams were ranked in the most recent CFP top 25, with the Tigers taking the No. 23 spot and the Gamecocks coming in at No. 21.
The past five games between the two teams have all gone Missouri’s way, including all four matchups since Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz took over the program.

But South Carolina (6-3, 4-3) is on a three-game winning streak, and a dominant one at that. The Gamecocks have defeated each of Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Vanderbilt by at least 21 points.
Can the Tigers keep their recent run of dominance going?
Here is everything you need to know about the Gamecocks before Missouri football visits Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday:
Who will be South Carolina’s starting QB against Missouri football?
Redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers is the latest in a long line of dual-threat QBs that Mizzou will face this season, and the first-year starter is beginning to find his groove with South Carolina.
Sellers threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 104 yards and a score as South Carolina stunned Texas A&M, 44-20, on Nov. 2. He followed that up with a 238-yard, two-touchdown passing day in a 28-7 win over Vanderbilt last Saturday.
The quarterback has rushed for 48.9 yards per game this season and is finding a rhythm in the passing game with 219 yards per outing in his past three appearances. He hasn’t thrown an interception in any of those games.
