Buckle up, Gamecock fans, the remainder of the 2025 season for South Carolina football is shaping up to be a grueling five-game stretch. Ranked matchups against the nation's No. 11, 6, 8, 4 and 5 teams will test every ounce of this team's toughness. The silver lining? Saturday night's showdown in Death Valley against the LSU Tigers comes right after South Carolina's scheduled bye week. One thing about Shane Beamer's Gamecocks is that they ordinarily come out firing after a break.
Dating back to 2021, Beamer's first season as head coach, South Carolina is 3-1 following a bye week.
