Q&A with Garnet and Black Attack

Vanderbilt travels to Columbia, South Carolina, tomorrow looking to end two losing streaks: a 15-game SEC losing streak that dates back to a win over Missouri on October 19, 2019; a ten-game SEC road losing streak dating back to a win at Arkansas on October 27, 2018; and a 12-game losing streak to these Gamecocks that dates all the way back to September 4, 2008. The Commodores’ 12-game losing streak against South Carolina is longer than their current losing streak against any SEC school not named Alabama (who Vanderbilt hasn’t beaten since 1984), and it’s a combination of bad football and bad luck, with the Commodores’ three-year run with James Franklin just happening to overlap with the Jadeveon Clowney years at South Carolina, when the Gamecocks went 33-6 over three years.
