5 of 11

No. 2 Alabama (2-0 0-0 SEC) at South Carolina (1-1, 0-0 SEC)

When and where: 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina

On the air: CBS with Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jamie Erdahl.

Outlook: The Gamecocks set records for rushing yards and total offense last week against Charleston Southern. But, it’s Charleston Southern. Let’s not forget South Carolina will be starting true freshman Ryan Hilinki under center. It’s safe to assume Alabama’s defense isn’t giving up 775 yards of total offense. The last time these two teams met, then-No. 19 South Carolina upset then-No. 1 Alabama, 35-21 in Columbia. Don’t think Nick Saban has forgotten about that.

The Last Line: There’s really no part of Alabama’s game lacking this season. Although this could be the first test for the Crimson Tide, I look for them to pass it with crimson and white colors.
