Morning sports update: Stephon Gilmore explained why he likes to wear South Carolina gear in Los Angeles

Tonight, the Patriots (6-6) play the Rams (8-4) at 8:20 p.m. New England is trying to get over .500 for the first time since Week 3.

The Rams are currently favored (-5), but experts differ on the predicted outcome.

Stephon Gilmore’s reason for wearing South Carolina gear: Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore is a proud product of the University of South Carolina, where he played college football before turning professional after his junior year (he was a first round pick in 2012).

Of course, South Carolina isn’t the only school to go by the shorthand name of USC.
