All that said, my head says USC is the better team. My heart says Shaw finds a way to frick it up.
Why does you heart say that? He has a great career record, and can you really put last year's Florida loss on him? Honestly, that is the only game that is unforgivable. LSU dominated you guys in Death Valley last year, but they were coming off a close loss on the road versus Florida while South Carolina was coming down from an emotional high versus Georgia.

First of all, LSU didn't dominate. That score was 23-21. It was a back-and-forth nail biter.
Shaw threw two picks in that game. His early fumble against UF set the tone for that game and opened up the flood gates. He didn't play particularly well against an average defense at Fayettenam in 2011. To this point, his signature wins on the road are in 2011 against an average MSU bunch and a dogshit UTK team missing its starting QB.
Shaw is damn near unbeatable at home. But he doesn't even have the signature win on the road that Thompson has. Quite frankly, he's been downright bad on the road. Maybe he shines through, plays well, and rings UGA's bell. But my heart tells me we're starting the wrong QB.
