After several years of absolutely brutal scheduling, South Carolina appears to have a bit of an easier go of things in 2021. Non-conference opponents include Eastern Illinois, East Carolina, Troy, and a renewal of the Palmetto Bowl rivalry game against Clemson on November 27th. Because of COVID scheduling, the Tigers will make their second straight trip to Columbia where the Gamecocks will attempt to snap Clemson’s six game winning streak. Road games against Georgia and Texas A&M will prove challenging, but South Carolina does get Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn at home as the Gamecocks look to improve on their disappointing 2-8 record from 2020 under new head coach Shane Beamer.
