ESPN announced Saturday night that “College GameDay” is headed Columbia, S.C, ahead of the Gamecocks game with the LSU Tigers.

It marks the first time in 10 years the popular college football pregame show returns to Columbia.

LaNorris Sellers threw two touchdown passes, Nick Emmanwori returned one of South Carolina’s two interceptions for another score and the Gamecocks held Kentucky to just 183 yards for a 31-6 victory to open SEC play on Saturday.

Raheim Sanders rushed for a 21-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to help break the game open for South Carolina (2-0) in the SEC’s lone head-to-head matchup. For one week, the Gamecocks sit atop the expanded 16-team league and can thank their opportunistic defense for helping make it possible in the nationally televised game.

South Carolina led throughout thanks to Sellers, who threw TD passes of 24 yards to wide-open Mazeo Bennett Jr. in the first quarter and 16 to Joshua Simon in the third to make 17-6. Sellers completed 11 of 15 for 159 yards with an interception to lead an offense that gained just 252 yards but did what it had to.
