South Carolina stumbles into Gasparilla Bowl vs. UAB | |
Despite a 2-8 record, six-game losing streak and coaching change, South Carolina is headed to a bowl game. The Gamecocks will play UAB (6-3) on Saturday at the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa. In this season impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, the Gamecocks made it to the postseason because of other schools opting out and the Southeastern Conference pecking order for bowl slots. Mike Bobo, formerly the head coach at Colorado State, will stay in his role as interim head coach with the Gamecocks. He replaced Will Muschamp, who was fired on Nov. 15 after South Carolina started 2-5. MORE | |
