COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - 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.
