Alabama will face South Carolina in the latest chapter of the Alabama-LaNorris Sellers rivalry. South Carolina's offense, led by QB LaNorris Sellers, has shown improvement under new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, scoring 45 points per game, primarily against weaker opponents. Despite a high-scoring average, the Gamecocks struggled to finish drives in their recent game against Mississippi State. Sellers has a respectable 648 passing yards and 172 rushing yards this season, with an emphasis on utilizing key playmakers like TE Brady Hunt and emerging RB Matt Fuller. Alabama's defense, which gave up 22 points to South Carolina in their previous meeting, will look to contain the Gamecocks' potent aerial and ground attack.
