No. 13 LSU vs South Carolina Oct. 11

The SEC announced South Carolina will face No. 13 LSU in primetime at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Oct. 11, with kickoff to fall in a 7:00, 7:30 or 7:45 p.m. CT window and the final start time and network (ESPN, ABC or the SEC Network) to be determined after the Oct. 4 games. Both teams come off bye weeks — South Carolina is 3-2 (1-2 SEC) after a 35-13 win over Kentucky, and LSU is 4-1 (1-1 SEC) after a loss at Ole Miss. The matchup was originally a flex (afternoon or night) game and was shifted to the night window, a common choice for LSU home games. Historically LSU has dominated the rivalry, holding a lopsided all-time advantage and an eight-game winning streak over South Carolina, with the Gamecocks’ only wins in Baton Rouge occurring decades ago. Other notable Oct. 11 assignments announced include Ohio State-Illinois at noon on FOX and Arkansas-Tennessee at 4:15 p.m. on the SEC Network.
