Gamecocks Take on Ole Miss in Nationally Televised Game

This is the 15th meeting all-time between South Carolina and Mississippi. Ole Miss leads the all-time series, 8-6. The teams have met just five times since South Carolina joined the Southeastern Conference in 1992; Ole Miss is 4-1 in those contests. The Gamecocks held the series edge from 1947-1981, a stretch spanning nine meetings that saw Carolina win five times. This will be the 8th time Ole Miss has visited Williams-Brice Stadium; they are 4-3 all-time in Columbia with the last meeting coming in 2004. Carolina's last win over Mississippi in Columbia came on Oct. 20, 1979, a 21-14 Gamecock victory.
IT'S USUALLY CLOSE
Eleven of the 14 all-time meetings between South Carolina and Ole Miss have been decided by a touchdown or less. All 6 of Carolina's wins in the series have been by seven points or fewer, and five of the Rebels' eight victories have been that close. The last time a Carolina-OIe Miss game was a double-digit affair was the 1999 season when the Rebels won 36-10 in Columbia. Prior to that, it was all the way back in 1972 when the Rebs took a 21-0 win, also at Williams-Brice Stadium. The SEC Rocks!
