The South Carolina Gamecocks are on a roll, as the No. 1 team in the SEC are on a six-game winning streak and showing why they are the best in the conference. They will be taking on the struggling Alabama Crimson Tide, which has lost three of their last five games, including two in a row. Dawn Staley’s squad is coming in as the heavy favorites, but Bama may be going for the upset.
The Gamecocks are fresh off their road win against bitter rivals LSU, and they did that in Baton Rouge, showing how good of a road team they are. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide are coming off a home loss against No. 10 Oklahoma, the last team that defeated South Carolina before their six-game winning streak.
