South Carolina will be a three-touchdown underdog when it hosts Alabama next week.

The Crimson Tide is a 22-point favorite over the Gamecocks, according to Vegas Insider.

South Carolina will be starting a true freshman quarterback, four-star recruit Ryan Hilinski, after losing starter Jake Bentley to a long-term foot injury that he suffered during the team’s 24-20 game one loss to North Carolina.

With Hilinski at QB, the Gamecocks beat Charleston Southern 72-10 on Saturday.

Alabama and South Carolina haven’t played since 2010, when the Gamecocks beat the Tide 35-21 in Columbia.
