TAMPA, Fla. — The University of South Carolina football team will face UAB in the 2020 Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 26 at noon inside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. The game will be televised on ABC.

The Gamecocks, one of 12 SEC teams to make a bowl game this season, are making their 24th appearance in a bowl and their 14th in a bowl game in the state of Florida. This will be the first appearance for the Gamecocks in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Sophomore running back Kevin Harris can add to his 1,138 rushing yards, which is fifth in school history for a single season. Harris led the SEC in rushing yards during the regular season.

UAB finished the season with a 6-3 record and won the Conference USA Championship with a 22-13 win over Marshall on Dec. 18. The Blazers were led by Spencer Brown’s 889 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Quarterback Bryson Lucero threw for 969 yards and seven touchdowns while Kristopher Moll had a team-best 59 tackles.

This will be the fourth all-time meeting between the Gamecocks and Blazers. The two teams last met in 2012 with Carolina winning, 49-6, on Sept. 15.

Tickets for the Gasparilla Bowl are $60 for level 1 and 2 sidelines and $30 for level 1 and 2 end zones.
