Troy ended last season with a 42-38 loss to No. 13 Coastal Carolina, and its defense has kept them in games this season (15.5 points per game allowed). Junior QB Taylor Powell (7 TDs, 3 INTs) has been effective, and the Trojans are 9-3 ATS after scoring fewer than 20 points in the last game. In addition, college football road dogs of 3.5 to 10 points that average 125 yards rushing or less are 54-22 ATS. South Carolina is rebuilding under new head coach Shane Beamer, and the offense has averaged 14.3 points the last three games, including a 20-17 win over East Carolina as a favorite while turning it over three times and averaging just 2.8 yards per rush. Also, South Carolina is 1-9 ATS against teams that average 250+ yards passing. Play Troy to get the cover.
