South Carolina (7-5) takes on Virginia (7-5) in the Belk Bowl on Saturday at noon in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Here are five things to think about as the Gamecocks prepare for the game:
Bryan Edwards vs. Bryce Hall
South Carolina’s junior wide receiver and top target now that Deebo Samuel is gone will be matched up often against Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall, a first-team All-ACC selection and the NCAA leader in pass breakups with 20. “I’m kind of seen as, I guess you would say, one of our top targets and he is their top DB, so of course that’s the matchup you are probably going to see on the field,” Edwards said.
