The South Carolina Gamecocks have decided to give up Saturday's home game against No. 7 LSU because of devastating floods that have hit the state, shifting the game from Williams-Brice Stadium to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

"We made the extremely difficult decision to cancel classes for the week due to the stress 34,000 students would place on the region's recovering infrastructure, there is no doubt 85,000 fans would exact the same toll," University of South Carolina president Harris Pastides said in a statement.
