South Carolina Gamecocks Game Notes
Spencer Rattler completed 23 of 30 passes for 313 yards, four touchdowns and one interception during Saturday’s 41-39 defeat to Florida. He also had seven rushes for 46 yards. Rattler crossed the 300-yard passing mark for the third time in 2023. He also threw at least three touchdowns in a game for the third time this season. Rattler has been a tad inconsistent this year though is certainly capable of the big offensive outburst. The Gamecocks will need to score a lot of points to keep pace with Mizzou next weekend.
Missouri Tigers Game Notes
Brady Cook is listed as probable to play in Saturday’s game against South Carolina, Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Cook gets a probable tag for a second week straight and should fully be expected to play once again. The redshirt junior has thrown for 2,030 yards and 14 touchdowns along with three interceptions through seven games so far which has earned himself a place on the Manning Award mid-season watchlist.

South Carolina vs. Missouri Betting Prediction
Take Mizzou. South Carolina couldn’t stop Florida’s passing game and allowed 487 passing yards to Mississippi State. Cook and the Tigers’ passing game has been outstanding and should rack up plenty of yards and points today at home. On the other side, Rattler has performed very well, but the offensive line can’t protect him. Eventually, the three-and-outs will pile up and the Tigers will pull away in the second half.
South Carolina vs. Missouri Prediction: MISSOURI TIGERS -7.5
