Anyone on USC -3 vs. UNC?

I've followed Spurrier for a long time and I have a gut feeling he's got a decent team in Columbia this year and he's heard all the talk that "he's done" or that "this is his last year..."

SC got blown out by Texas A&M in the opener last year (which is another reason I like SC in this spot...."lesson learned"??).

I haven't looked at UNC very hard yet, but I like SC in this situation.

Thoughts?


SC got blown out by Texas A&M in the opener last year (which is another reason I like SC in this spot....LMAO

I got no choice but to laugh real hard at that angle....Last season`s opener against A&M is comparable to a game this season against N.C. ????

Good luck man...LOL

Love carolina will play them on the ml once i see it on my book...

Just cant see the heels not winning this by a td or more love that they add chiz on defense the offense is loaded inside out expect it to be lower scoring then the total predicts

to me the cocks are trending downward new signal called still feeling depleted on the line from the clowney team the secondary is better this year but cant see them stopping marquise and the running game at all

Coach, gotta go with the heels here (disclaimer: reside in Charlotte, LOL). Williams is arguably gonna become the ACC player of the year, I've seen him in action twice and hate like hell betting against him. Heels got a lot of talent back, can't say the same for the Cocks, and yep, Fedora feeling the heat but so is the entire UNC Sports Dept. over the NCAA allegations. Game is in Charlotte, got my tickets, but should be a split crowd as we're a whopping 15 miles from the border. I'll take the points and run to the bank. GL and thank God, college football is back!!!

I`m starting to think that N.C. is a ML play.

Not a good sign that Spurrier has yet to name a starting QB for the opener in Charlotte. Not to mention the fact that none of these guys has ever completed a pass and will be making their first start in a NFL stadium on national TV. This is a tough one to figure out, both defenses were not very good last year but UNC has the clear advantage on offense. However, some of the intangibles favor USC such as SEC vs ACC, and OBC vs Fedora.


COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Steve Spurrier said South Carolina's offense improved on Saturday, just not enough to show a clear frontrunner among the four players competing for starting quarterback.

The Gamecocks coach said he was happier with the offensive showing in the second stadium scrimmage of fall camp. However, he said Connor Mitch, Perry Orth, Michael Scarnecchia and Lorenzo Nunez didn't separate themselves in the race.
''All the quarterbacks did a lot of good things,'' Spurrier said. ''Shoot, I wished one of them would've outplayed the rest. But if you look at the stats, probably pretty similar.''
South Carolina opens the season Sept. 3 against North Carolina in Charlotte.
Mitch is a third-year sophomore who was expected to take control of the job from last year's senior record-setter Dylan Thompson. But Mitch threw two interceptions and didn't have a touchdown in the closed session.
The biggest offensive play came from tailback Brandon Wilds, who broke off a 70-yard TD run.
The offense produced five touchdowns and a field goal - a significant improvement from its two-touchdown, one field goal last week in a scrimmage open to fans.
Spurrier kept out fans and media for Saturday's workout.
Mitch was 5 for 10 passing for 71 yards, junior Orth was 5 of 10 for 56 yards, redshirt freshman Scarnecchia was 6 for 10 for 58 yards and true freshman Nunez was 3 of 3 for 44 yards.
Spurrier said earlier in the week that the offense would have a place for Nunez this fall. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Nunez is more of a dual-threat quarterback who combined for 1,996 yards running and throwing his senior season at Harrison High in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Spurrier also said he would begin paring down the four-way competition to better prepare the starter and prime backup for when the Gamecocks open against the Tar Heels at the Carolina Panthers' Bank of America Stadium.
Apparently, the process of finding a starting quarterback has taken longer than planned by Spurrier.
He had complained a week ago the passers took too long to release the ball, leading to sacks, overthrows and interceptions. Spurrier liked what he saw this time around.
''Most of the time, they took the ball and threw it in there,'' he said. ''Most of the time, our guys caught it. We had a couple of drops and missed a couple of open guys. But overall, I think they showed a lot of improvement.''
Wilds, a fifth-year senior, thought it was obvious why the offense perked up: ''We ran the ball,'' he said, smiling.
Wilds finished with 86 yards on four rushes, including his long burst through the middle of the line for the touchdown. He said the experience on the offensive line combined with a group of proven running backs like himself, senior Shon Carson and sophomore David Williams means South Carolina can run the ball effectively throughout a game.
Carson and Williams each had touchdown runs in the scrimmage.
''That's a key for success, in my book,'' he said.
Still, someone has to play quarterback. Spurrier said joking he might put all four of his passers out there on the first play, just to confuse everybody. It's no joke that star receiver Pharoh Cooper came to camp as the South Carolina with the most career passing yards in college.
''It would be easy for all of us to say, `Hey, this is the guy and let's go,''' Spurrier said. ''But then you've got to be fair and competing. But we'll know something maybe the middle of this coming week.''

To me it boils down to the two HC's. Spurrier wants to hang around for another five years or so. Nobody will tell hom when to leave. Fedora has headed downhill in his three years at UNC, winning 8, then 7, then 6 games. He is on a very warm seat, if not a hot one. Another 6-7 win season is not going to cut it. With home games against North Carolina A&T, Illinois and Deleware and Illinois, UNC has a solid chance of opening up at 4-0 if they can defeat South Carolina. Home games with Wake and Virginia should give them 6 wins before Halloween. This is just what the Doctor ordered for Fedora. The line keeps fluctuating, but one thing is for sure. South Carolina is NOT the play here. UNC or pass.

The line has dropped to 2 1/2 at the Westgate and a couple of other Vegas shops.

S.C. is a sucker bet laying a small #........Major blood bath.....Good luck guys!

Connor Mitch will be the QB.

Expect to see a lot of Wildcat with Cooper a lot as well. IMO, it's the only chance the Gamecocks have this year is to let him control the ball as much as possible. Maybe Nunez can spark some flame in the Wildcat as well (he won't become a QB either), because the Gamecocks don't have a QB on the squad that is a true one to rely on...

"The D will be good!" -It damn sure better be and especially if the O doesn't Go and put up points...

This seems like one of those games where unc dominates both sides of ball...but somehow fumble deep in their own territory or throw like a pick 6 and basically give the game away and sc will escape...
