South Carolina and LSU return to action off their respective bye weeks at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. The Gamecocks enter two weeks after picking up their first SEC win of the season against the Kentucky Wildcats. Meanwhile, the Tigers are coming off a close loss to No. 4 Ole Miss, 24-19.

South Carolina enters seeking its first win in Tiger Stadium since 1994, also its last win against LSU. Injuries plague both teams as LSU enters Saturday night without its leading wide receiver in Aaron Anderson. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks are without multiple key offensive linemen in Cason Henry, Nolan Hay and Markee Anderson.

Anderson, who previously ruled himself out of Saturday’s game via social media, was spotted by GamecockCentral’s Jack Veltri warming up in full pads ahead of kickoff
