FILE - In this Oct. 8, 2011, file photo, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier yells onto the field during the third quarter in an NCAA college football game against Kentucky at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. South Carolina’s players may have just as big a task ahead handling success at home as they do facing No. 9 LSU on the road Saturday. The third-ranked Gamecocks know they’ve got to stay focused and true to what’s gotten them 6-0 for just the second time in school history.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The fireworks between No. 3 South Carolina and No. 9 LSU on Saturday won't just take place on the field.

Expect a show on the sidelines, too, featuring the Gamecocks' Steve Spurrier and the Tigers' Les Miles, two of game's most colorful leaders.

Count on Spurrier to throw a headset or his visor if things don't go his way. You might catch Miles munching on a few blades of grass at LSU's Death Valley. And both know what it's like to win it all, something the pair are again chasing this season.

South Carolina (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) is off to its best start since 1984 after a dominant, 35-7 win over Georgia. LSU (5-1, 1-1) fell to No. 4 Florida 14-6 last Saturday, its first regular-season defeat since 2010.
