Previewing the college football Week 2 matchup between South Carolina and East Carolina, with odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The South Carolina Gamecocks (1-0) and East Carolina Pirates (0-1) meet Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, N.C. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the South Carolina vs. East Carolina odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

South Carolina routed Eastern Illinois of the FCS by a 46-0 count in Week 1, while allowing just 31 rushing yards and 78 passing yards. The Gamecocks gobbled up 258 yards on the ground in the victory. Perhaps the only thing which needs to be cleaned up are the eight penalties for 61 yards.

East Carolina was on the short end of a 33-19 score against Appalachian State in a neutral-site game in Charlotte. The Pirates allowed 226 yards on the ground, and 259 yards through the air, something which must improve.
