re: Does Dylan Thompson survive as starting QB for USCe until Sept 27th?

It's all falling into place for Spurrier and USC:

Texas A&M has no defense at all, and they have dismissed 3-4 of what were once thought to be their top returning players on defense.

UGA has some questions of their own regarding their defense, and it's looking like they will be without 2 of their top receivers in Mitchell and Scott-Wesley for our game. Who else is expected to be suspended or miss the USC game for UGA? They have lost 2-3 of their own defenders this season for off-field issues.

Both games will be played in Williams-Brice, where the crowd is always unforgiving and unsympathetic to opponents' personnel issues. It's like blood in the water to them, and they are Gamecock Pyranha.

If USC can get past it's first 3 games - TAMU, ECU, & UGA - unscathed, it's easy sailing from that point on until Auburn, and the Gamecock will be in great position to have a historic season...
