Under Will Muschamp, South Carolina is an even 2-2 when wearing the all black uniforms and 2-3 overall. The Gamecocks last wore this combination last season against Kentucky in a game that saw the Gamecocks lose 23-13 to the Wildcats.

South Carolina fans will better remember this uniform from the 2016 home game with Tennessee that saw the Gamecocks knock off the 22nd-ranked Volunteers in the second start for quarterback Jake Bentley. That game featured a great defensive effort by the Gamecocks with timely plays on offense. The win over Tennessee still stands as the lone win versus a ranked opponent during the Muschamp era.

During the 2016 season, the Gamecocks also wore all black in games against East Carolina and #19 South Florida (Birmingham Bowl). The Gamecocks split those two contests, finishing that year with a 2-1 record in that combination.

Other games that featured this uniform:

2004: #3 UGA 20 - USC 16

2016: USC 20 - ECU 15

2016: USC 24 - #22 UT 21

2016: #19 USF 46 - USC 39 OT

2017: UK 23 - USC 13

Saturday's game at Williams-Brice Stadium (80,250) will kickoff at 7:30 PM EST and will be televised by the SEC Network. The Gamecocks are favored by 7.5 points.
