The game was not the prettiest that one would expect for an SEC team playing against an FCS team, but nonetheless, South Carolina got the win and is bowl eligible.

The Gamecocks’ normally good defense seemed to struggle on Saturday, but then again, teams don’t always give their all against lower competition. What matters most for head coach Will Muschamp and his team is that South Carolina will once again be in a bowl game. Muschamp needed to show that he could progress this team, when many questioned his hiring after being fired from Florida only two seasons ago. The Gamecocks has progressed and the future looks good for South Carolina.

Next game: November 26, at Clemson, 7:30pm ET ESPN
