The game will be televised nationally on ESPN, beginning at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. in Baton Rouge). u The Gamecocks have won a school-record 10 straight games (Florida, Citadel, Clemson, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, East Carolina, UAB, Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia) dating back to last season. The Gamecocks 10-game winning streak is the longest current streak among FBS teams, one ahead of Alabama, Oregon and West Virginia and surpasses the previous longest winning streak in school history of nine, set in 1984. u The Gamecocks are off to a 6-0 start for the first time since 1988 and for just the third time in school history (also 1984). They have been 7-0 just once in their history (1984). u The Gamecocks are ranked No. 3 in both polls. They have been ranked that high or higher just once - in the poll released Nov. 13, 1984 when they were ranked No. 2. u The Gamecocks are facing their second Top-10 opponent in as many weeks. They defeated No. 5 Georgia last week. Next up - No. 4 Florida. u Head coach Steve Spurrier has logged his 200th career collegiate victory (UAB) and his 250th overall coaching victory (Georgia) this season. He has 203 wins in the col- legiate ranks and 47 as a head coach at the pro level.
