South Carolina bounced back to beat Furman after a bad start to the season against UNC.
They now have the unenviable task of taking on an Alabama team that lost to Texas last week.
South Carolina will be a +27.5 dog in this one.

We don't know yet if South Carolina's poor performance against UNC in Week 1 was a fluke.
South Carolina quarterback Spencer Ratter completed 25 of 27 passes for 345 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another TD to lead the Gamecocks to a 47-21 win over Furman on Saturday night. The team certainly looked good, but again this is Furman.
Ratter reminding people why he was a Heisman contender at Oklahoma before imploding, being benched and transferring.
Two of the SportsHub handicappers were backing Alabama here.
The Longhorns (2-0) delivered the biggest victory under Steve Sarkisian in a game that slipped away last season after a red-hot Quinn Ewers exited because of a first-quarter shoulder injury. He was back and with another big weapon in Adonai Mitchell. Texas is set to join Alabama & Co. in the SEC next season.
This was a 34-24 win by Texas.
“This was a test for us,” Saban said. “I told the players early in the week that this was going to be a test, that we were playing a really good team and that we would find out where we were as a team. It was a test for everybody. It was a test for the coaches, it was a test for me, it was a test for all the players.
“And we obviously didn’t do very well. But it’s the mid-term, it’s not the final.”
