Since 2009, Ole Miss and South Carolina have avoided each other. That changes on Saturday when the Gamecocks travel to Oxford.

Ole Miss (5-3, 1-3 SEC) is coming off their bye week and returned a few key players on defense from injury. The Rebels worked on themselves and ‘self-evaluated’ during the two weeks between games. The red zone woes on offense were examined during the break.

South Carolina (4-3, 3-3) is coming off their 27-24 win against Tennessee. They overcame a 12-point deficit in the second half for the victory.
