Being a lifetime Gamecock fan and following the preseason practices and interviews, I have no idea what to expect from this team. I expect the defense to be better, but not sure it could be worse. The offense is what scares me. If we can establish the run and play ball control, I think we can win. But if it turns into a track meet I don't like our chances. An earlier poster said this game is more important to North Carolina than South Carolina, well I think this is totally false. Our schedule is brutal and if we lose this game it could lead to a 5-7, 4-9, type season. I will not be betting the side but may lay a little on the under because I really think we will try and shorten the game. Good luck and let's have a great year!

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

Same thing i said before, as the line drops another point... Take the ml and enjoy the show

I've asked several times as well. Got nothing...

They may win, but no way I'm laying my money on MY Gamecocks here. Talk around town has everyone shaking in their boots too. No one is confident in a for sure win here, much less a blowout...

GL to you partner, it's obvious you have done some homework. South Carolina is 14-3 UNDER against the ACC. Knowing that, I still like the ole ball coach to cover the side play.

1 year after losing a ton of seniors, every other year under fed the defense has been avg to solid, they were young last year they return everyone add in new coaches at virtually every position along with chiz at d cord

i just dont see it

pass game - n car
run game - n car
line - b car
wr - n car

and to me the defenses are a push south carolina couldnt score on all of us if we went out there and played defense i could see against a poetent offense but this is the perfect team for the heels to open up against

I think he forgot that P. Cooper could probably score on all of us by himself. The more I think about it, the more I think he may be the big difference in this ballgame. Connor Mitch has a worthy first name and all, but I just think we see lots of the Wildcat with Cooper because IMO, it will be the most effective. Hands down the best player on the Field, and the result of the game rest on his shoulders. The SC Defense should be stand up enough to keep them in most games, especially this one....

As for NC, they may just have more talent overall than SC, and even most teams they play, but they are a sloppy bunch overall with the worst tackling I've ever seen in football. Sure, Gene Chiz is now in town, and may make a difference, but I don't know just how much in one year. We shall see, but if they do, they could end up 2nd in the ACC instead of their projected 5th place finish. Although this game won't affect that outcome, it surely could boost some confidence, quickly....

I personally will be on NC plus the points. Think they are the better squad.

I want to take UNC here, but that 70 points East Carolina hung on them last year and I had UNC that game makes me want to see some empirical evidence of a defense before I bet them again. To describe their defense last year as a spaghetti strainer would have been kind imo.

All the opinions on here are great but none have any value because no one actually knows what to expect out of either team. I think Vegas has accomplished their goal because if this forum is any indication of the betting then it's about split. Being a Gamecock fan I am obviously a little biased but I could definitely see this game going either way. Our run game is gonna be the key. If we can control the clock and limit N Carolina's possessions then we have a great chance at the win. If it turns into a track meet then we're in trouble based on what little I've seen out of Connor Mitch. Good luck and thank God for football season.

Your opinion is great and all, but it has no value. Enjoy the game...

You really think that a game in 2014 has something to do with a game in 2015?

Not me....It`s about the game at hand......Last season is a different animal all together.

Good luck!
