Gamecocks Gear Up for New Season with High Stakes Matchup Against Virginia Tech
The South Carolina Gamecocks are set to kick off their 2024 football season on August 31st with an exciting non-conference clash against the Virginia Tech Hokies. This matchup is poised to serve as a significant test for the Gamecocks, allowing fans to gauge the team’s potential following a robust previous season.
As South Carolina prepares for its opener, the anticipation builds for their subsequent game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Interestingly, the Commodores will face Virginia Tech just the week prior. This matchup will serve as a precursor to the Gamecocks’ SEC opener, where they will host Vanderbilt on September 13th at Williams-Brice Stadium, marking an important moment in both teams’ campaigns. The game is scheduled for prime time at either 7:00 or 7:45 p.m. on ESPN or the SEC Network.
Vanderbilt starting quarterback Diego Pavia has expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming clash, designating it as a "circled" game during an appearance on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. Despite his initial reluctance to highlight specific opponents, he confirmed that the Gamecocks are at the top of his priority list.
Last season, the Gamecocks continued their dominance over Vanderbilt, defeating them 28-7 in Nashville, which extended their winning streak against the Commodores to an impressive 16 games. With the significant historical context—USC hasn’t lost to Vanderbilt since the presidency of George W. Bush—both teams will enter the upcoming match with high stakes. Fans are eager to see if South Carolina can maintain their strong performance and continue their impressive series run.
