The revised 2020 football schedule for the University of South Carolina was announced Aug. 17 on the SEC Network.

The 10-game conference-only slate begins Saturday, Sept. 26, when the Gamecocks play host to the University of Tennessee.

The Gamecocks have won 3 of the last 4 meetings and 6 of the last 10 meetings with the Volunteers and have recorded wins in five of the last six tilts at Williams-Brice Stadium.

The game marks a “Homecoming” for 3 former Chronicle Country graduates in junior punter Paxton Brooks of Airport and Dutch Fork’s defensive back Bryce Thompson and wide receiver Jalin Hyatt.

The last time Hyatt played at Williams-Brice Stadium, Hyatt caught 3 touchdowns, including the gamewinner in overtime of the Class 5A championship game against Dorman.

The Gamecocks’ first road contest of the season comes at The Swamp as South Carolina travels to Florida on Oct. 3. This will mark the earliest date that South Carolina and Florida have met on the gridiron, with the current earliest date coming on Oct. 10 during the 1936 season.

South Carolina will stay on the road the following week, traveling to Nashville, Tenn. to face Vanderbilt on Oct. 10. South Carolina has won each of the last 11 meetings and owns a commanding 25-4 advantage in the all-time series.

The Gamecocks return home Oct. 17 to host Auburn, 1 of the two teams recently added to the 2020 schedule. South Carolina will be looking to snap an 8-game losing streak to the Tigers and post their first win over Auburn since the 1933 season.

The rugged slate continues Oct. 24 when South Carolina travels to Baton Rouge and Death Valley to face the defending National Champion LSU Tigers.

South Carolina has a scheduled open week on Oct. 31 before returning to action Nov. 7 when the Texas A&M Aggies visit Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks will be looking to notch their 1st win against their permanent Western Division opponent.

South Carolina will travel to Oxford, Miss. and will face Ole Miss Nov. 14. The Gamecocks have won each of the last 3 contests with the Rebels, including a wild 48-44 decision in Oxford in 2018.

The Missouri Tigers make their way to Columbia Nov. 21. South Carolina has won 3 of the last 4 games in the battle for the Mayor’s Cup to even the all-time series with the Tigers at 5-5.

In a game that traditionally has been played early the season, South Carolina and Georgia will meet in Columbia Nov. 28. This will be the latest date in a series that spans over 70 games.

The Gamecocks’ biggest win of the 2019 season came in double-overtime in Athens over the 3rd-ranked Bulldogs.

The regular season finale will come in Lexington, Ky., the home of the Kentucky Wildcats, on Dec. 5. South Carolina holds an 18-12-1 lead in the all-time series over the flagship institution of the Bluegrass State, including a 24-7 win in 2019.

The Dec. 5 date is the latest regular-season game scheduled since the Gamecocks and Miami (Fla.) met to wrap up the 1987 season, also on Dec. 5.

Game times and television schedules will be announced at a later date.
