WHAT IS AT STAKE?

Oklahoma fans are growing restless after their stunning loss to rival Texas last week. The Sooners have played strong defense this season, but their offense is one of the worst in the country — an unusual position for a program used to posting big numbers. A loss here, especially when the offense is struggling, raises more questions for Oklahoma coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Seth Littrell. South Carolina is coming off a narrow loss to Alabama. A win here would ease the disappointment somewhat.

KEY MATCHUP

South Carolina's run game vs. Oklahoma's run defense. The Gamecocks average 175 yards on the ground per game and have the ball for nearly 32 minutes per game. Raheim Sanders leads the way with 393 yards rushing and five touchdowns. Quarterbacks LaNorris Sellers and Robby Ashford are also dangerous runners. The Sooners are allowing just 117 yards rushing per game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

South Carolina: DE Kyle Kennard. He leads the SEC and ranks fourth in the country with 7 1/2 sacks. He will pose a significant challenge for Oklahoma's offensive line, which has struggled to protect its quarterbacks.

Oklahoma: QB Michael Hawkins Jr. The true freshman struggled against Texas and now faces Kennard, one of the best passers in the country. Hawkins is a dual threat and a playmaker who has had moments. He needs to string more of these together for the Sooners to win.
