Historic Upset Brewing? South Carolina Looks to Break Drought Against MAC's Akron!

September 20, 2024

As the college football season continues to heat up, the South Carolina Gamecocks are gearing up for a crucial matchup against the Akron Zips from the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The stakes are high, with the Gamecocks looking to secure a 3-1 record for the first time since 2017. Can they pull off the win and make history, or will the Zips spoil the party?

The Gamecocks are riding a two-game winning streak, having taken down North Carolina and Charlotte in consecutive weeks. Their offense has been clicking on all cylinders, with quarterback Spencer Rattler leading the charge. Rattler has been a force to be reckoned with, throwing for over 800 yards and seven touchdowns in the first three games. With his impressive skills and clutch performances, Rattler is shaping up to be a top contender for the Heisman Trophy.

On the other side of the coin, the Akron Zips are looking to bounce back from a tough 1-2 start. Despite their record, the Zips have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their season-opening game against Auburn. Although they fell short, 21-16, the Zips demonstrated a fierce determination that will undoubtedly serve them well against the Gamecocks.

When the two teams take to the field on Saturday, all eyes will be on the battle between the Gamecocks' explosive offense and the Zips' stingy defense. If the Zips can contain Rattler and limit the Gamecocks' scoring opportunities, they might just stand a chance of pulling off the upset. However, if the Gamecocks can keep their momentum going, it could be a long night for the Zips.

The game is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and will be broadcast live on ESPNU. Fans of both teams are eagerly anticipating the matchup, and with good reason. Will the Gamecocks make history and move to 3-1 for the first time since 2017, or will the Zips throw a wrench in their plans? Tune in to find out.
