Tree enters Gamecocks starting lineup

Gamecocks missing starting receiver
Ahmarean Brown didn’t make the trip with the team to Athens. The Georgia Tech transfer injured his hamstring in the first half of last week’s game against Furman. Safety Nick Emmanwori and nickel David Spaulding both made the trip and are likely to play.
Uniform report
USC will be wearing black helmets with a black block C on the side and black facemasks for Saturday’s games. They will be wearing white jerseys with white pants. That is the same combo the Gamecocks wore against Clemson last year.
