Buck says: USC 37, UT 20. If there was ever a must win for South Carolina since joining the SEC, this is it. Every scenario that leads to the SECCG starts with a win against UT. A loss doesn’t mathematically eliminate the ‘Cocks, but realistically would be a mortal wound. UT scares me, simply becuase they’ve been able to hang around with some pretty good teams for a while, and should’ve beaten LSU in Baton Rouge. But the Vols are seriously depleted and demoralized, so I think we jump on them early and often. Look for another big game from the offense, starting with the opening drive. The defense needs a lock down performance to get their confidence up with Arkansas coming up next. It will be good to see #21 on offense again, I’ve missed him so…
Tbone says: SC 38, UT 10. What Buck said, but with better D. I think UT might score once in their opening couple of series, but look for Travian Robertson, Ladi Ajiboye and Devin Taylor to have big days from then on. Notice a certain someone missing from that list? So do I. So. do. I. Anyway, on offense I think Garcia is due some props on the national level, and this might the game for it to happen. BONUS prediction: two weeks is not enough to fix what’s wrong in Gainesville, UGa rolls.
