re: Gamecock fans - where does this team fall talent wise among spurriers SC teams?

I wish I had this optimism. I think the offense will be good, but that defense looks as average as it has been since Spurrier's first team. There's talent, sure, but a lot has to go right in order to win and do so consistently. If the O has a bad game early on, I don't know if the D will be able to win a difficult game.

I'm definitely one of the more pessimistic Carolina fans, but I don't think this year is going to be one to remember. I genuinely hope I'm wrong.

RoyalAir ... where specifically do you see the big drop-off on defense?

CB I get, we just don't know yet.

LB we should be as deep and talented as we've ever been.

DE ... we've recruited well there. Dixon looks to me to be in the mold of Norwood/Ingram. English is very solid. Both have a ton of experience.

DL ... in all my years we've never been this deep and talented and big up the middle.

The only real concern I have is us playing around with switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4, but in Whammy I trust when it comes to our D.
