In this story:

For the first time in a decade, ESPN's College GameDay will be heading to Columbia to cover the South Carolina Gamecocks as they face the No. 18 LSU Tigers. The highly anticipated matchup is set for 12 p.m. on September 14.

South Carolina comes off a dominant 31-6 victory over Kentucky, showcasing their prowess in SEC play. As of the latest update, No. 18 LSU is leading Nicholls 44-21, but their performance has been less than stellar. LSU’s quarterback Garrett Nussmeier exited the game with an injury at halftime, and the Tigers have also lost their starting running back to a torn ACL this week.

With College GameDay making its return, Columbia is set to be the epicenter of college football excitement, making for a thrilling showdown between the Gamecocks and the Tigers.
