Yesterday, when the Gamecocks’ potential bowl opponents were pretty much nailed down, I wrote this about South Florida:
I absolutely hate this matchup for the Gamecocks. This is a USF team that hung 35 on Florida State...and is led by an up-and-comer in Willie Taggart that might find himself at a Power 5 school before long. We know that Carolina had difficulty keeping Western Carolina off the scoreboard a few weeks ago. How will they do against the Bulls, who feature one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country (with all due respect to that Lamar Jackson guy) in junior Quinton Flowers?
