COLUMBIA, SC — Vanderbilt football will bear the weight of two losing streaks with its game against South Carolina on Saturday. One, a 14-game losing streak to the Gamecocks. The other, the Commodores’ eight-game losing streak of their own.
Vanderbilt (2-8, 0-6 SEC) has yet to win a road game this season, or a game in general after the first week of September. But South Carolina (3-6, 1-5) has struggled too. The Gamecocks are coming off a win over Jacksonville State by just 10 points and are the only other team in the SEC East with fewer than three conference wins.
Ken Seals is set to start at quarterback for Vanderbilt.
