Game preview: South Carolina hosts Vanderbilt on Homecoming Weekend

Related Topics: South Carolina, Commodores

The South Carolina Gamecocks finish off their homecoming weekend with a showdown with Vanderbilt Saturday afternoon.

Both the Gamecocks and the Commodores are coming off their bye weeks; the Gamecocks are 5-2 and the Commodores are 3-4. It should be an interesting matchup between two impressive quarterbacks and tough SEC teams.

How the Commodores can win

Vanderbilt needs to control the clock and play through their excellent junior quarterback Kyle Shurmur. Shurmur has 1,331 yards on the season and a 138.6 rating to go along with that. He is a mistake-free quarterback and the Commodores will need him to play that way against a Gamecock defense that has been stifling this season.
