After a week off, its back to the grind of the SEC schedule for LSU as it prepares to host South Carolina. The Tigers are still looking for answers after losing on the road to Ole Miss, but as chaos continues across the SEC, all of LSU’s goals are still in front of them.

The Gamecocks come to Baton Rouge with a 3-2 record and most recently a win at home against Kentucky on Sept. 27 before also having a bye week. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers and defensive end Dylan Stewart lead their units, but the Gamecocks have lacked consistency and depth across the first five games of the year. Now, LSU’s defense will hope to keep Sellers and the Gamecocks under wraps in Death Valley.

We knew the kickoff was set for Saturday night, but the exact time and broadcast details were to be announced on Saturday night after the games concluded. With the games finalized, LSU is set to play South Carolina at 6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network, following the conclusion of Arkansas at Tennessee.

Here are the official time slots and TV slates for this weekend’s SEC games.

On3’s Pete Nakos tabs LSU vs. South Carolina as a Top 10 game to watch in Week 7

“LSU and Brian Kelly are coming off the bye after losing at Ole Miss. Garrett Nussmeier’s health remains a concern as he deals with an abdominal injury. How he looks coming off a week of rest will be key to what the remainder of the season looks like for the Tigers. South Carolina already has two losses but could re-enter the CFP mix with a win in Death Valley at night.” – Nakos

It’s another significant challenge for the Tigers who look to get quarterback Garrett Nussmeier back on track along with the overall offensive production.

On3’s Brett McMurphy has the Tigers ranked as the No. 7 team in the country on his AP ballot and is high on the defensive effort. Still, it’s the offense that has him and others operating with caution when discussing this team.

“The Tigers, who were off this week, host South Carolina on Saturday. LSU’s offense continues to struggle. The Tigers have not scored more than 20 points against their three Power 4 opponents this season and have the SEC’s fifth-worst offense.”
