2012 SEC Football Schedule: South Carolina

The much-anticipated 2012 SEC football schedule has been released, and the USC Athletics Department must not have too many influential friends in Birmingham because next year’s slate is not a prelude to a trip to the Georgia Dome in early December! The Gamecocks have murders row in the month of October!

This year’s schedule, for all intents and purposes, is a hasty, last-minute hodgepodge of a schedule to include two new conference members, Texas A&M and Missouri. The SEC 2012 football schedule is not an indictment on future schedules, as the league continues to debate whether to play a nine-game league schedule or stick with the eight-game schedule (6-1-1 format), where each team plays six divisional games, one permanent team from the opposite Division and one rotating member from the opposite division.

Here is the Gamecocks schedule in 2012:

August 30th - @ Vanderbilt (Thursday/ESPN)
September 8th – BYE or East Carolina
September 15th – UAB
September 22nd – Missouri
September 29th – @ Kentucky
October 6th – Georgia
October 13th - @ LSU
October 20th – @ Florida
October 27th - Tennessee
November 3rd – BYE or East Carolina
November 10th – Arkansas
November 17th – Wofford
November 24th - @ Clemson

East Carolina date and time TBD.

Go Gamecocks!
