- Analysis
- Alabama heads to Columbia on Saturday, October 25th, 2025, looking to keep its SEC title hopes alive against South Carolina. The Crimson Tide have regained their defensive swagger, holding opponents under 17 points per game, while quarterback Ty Simpson has managed the offense efficiently, averaging over 250 yards through the air with a strong rushing complement from Justice Haynes. South Carolina, led by quarterback LaNorris Sellers, has shown flashes at home but continues to struggle in the trenches, ranking near the bottom of the SEC in rushing defense and sacks allowed. That’s a dangerous mix against an Alabama front that can dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Expect Kalen DeBoer’s squad to establish control early with physicality and tempo, wearing down the Gamecocks by the second half. Alabama’s balance and depth should prove too much for South Carolina to handle as the Tide pull away late.
