The No. 19/19 South Carolina Gamecocks (7-3, 5-3 SEC) wrap up their 2024 home schedule when they host the FCS Wofford Terriers (5-6, 3-5 SoCon) out of the Southern Conference on Saturday, Nov. 23. The game is slated for a 4 pm kick from Williams-Brice Stadium (77,559) in Columbia. The South Carolina seniors will be recognized on the field prior to their final game at Williams-Brice Stadium.

OVER THE AIRWAVES: This week’s contest will be streamed on ESPN+/SECN+. Jay Alter will handle the play-by-play with Rocky Boiman providing the color commentary.
