Schedule Update: LSU Football vs. South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 7 SEC Showdown

In this story:
Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) will host the South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 7 with the pair of SEC foes set to battle it out at Tiger Stadium.
After an open date in Week 6, Kelly and Co. have hit the reset button with an opportunity to get back in the win column this weekend.
“I mean, even with everything that they’re kind of going through, they still come out and continue to fight. And they don’t change anything up. I mean, they came out [Tuesday] and it felt like a game,” LSU EDGE Jimari Butler said of the program's struggles on offense.
“So they just keep continuing to go out with everything that’s happening to them. That speaks volumes because a lot of people would have just given up. [Tuesday] was a physical practice. We did a picket run, play action; it was banging to death.”

Now, with kickoff inching closer, all eyes are on the Bayou Bengals with an opportunity to make a statement on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.

Shane Beamer's Take: Significant Challenge Ahead
“We simulate crowd noise in practice, just like we did at Missouri. We’ll do it all week. But you can’t fully simulate 100,000-plus LSU fans, many of them probably heavily intoxicated. That’s what makes college football great.
"At the same time, you control the crowd by how you play. That’s what we need to focus on: Playing winning football to minimize their impact.”
