LIVE UPDATES: South Carolina Gamecocks vs South Carolina State Bulldogs

Live updates from the South Carolina Gamecocks' week two matchup against the South Carolina State Bulldogs.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are looking to advance to 2-0 as they take on the South Carolina State Bulldogs for their week two matchup of the 2025 college football season. This is just the fourth all-time matchup between these two programs in a series that the Gamecocks lead 3-0.

South Carolina is fresh off an impressive week one victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies and is looking to build momentum as it returns to Williams-Brice Stadium for its first home game of the season.

Quarterback LaNorris Sellers turned in yet another fantastic performance during the team's week one victory over Virginia Tech and has subsequently skyrocketed up the rankings for odds to win the Heisman Trophy.

Should the Gamecocks' signal caller turn in yet another impressive showing, Sellers has an excellent chance at becoming the frontrunner for this year's Heisman Trophy and representing his team in New York at the end of the season.
