I think vandy is currently favored.

Don't kill me CNB, but I think VU pulls off the W.
Honestly it should be a pretty good game.

Both teams fail to hit 20 points

Gamecocks win.
Vandy's defense is going to be solid. I don't think we'll put up over 31 pts, but we'll have a much improved defense as well. We beat them 19-10 with an awful team last year. We'll be better this year and they won't have a dual threat QB this time.
Vandy won't have a lot of film to prep for Roper's offense. He'll have film from 2 years ago with a complete set of other players, so that will give Mason some problems. However Roper will be able to look at all of Vandy's film the past 2 years to see the gaps in the defense.

I think it will be a good game, but Vandy gets the W

I like USC. They lost like 4 or 5 games last year by a touchdown or less. I think they will be better than people think.

I think they get the W. I also think if Brandon starts he surprises some folks

Look for a close Vandy win in a low scoring game. Vandy returns 16 starters, 8 on each side. Shurmur with a year of experience is a nice upgrade over turnover-prone McCrary from last year. Defense will be even better this year and it should show out from game 1.

he's coaching at SC, it's already a loss.

I'm putting a $100 on the under in this game.

Carolina wins 13-10. Elliott Fry with the game-winning FG.

It'll be ugly, but I expect to win. I certainly can't be mad at any predictions that Vandy will win

Vandy by 6

It shouldn't be a high-scoring game. The biggest comparisons will be regarding both team's defenses:
Vandy's defense should be stout again with a lot of leaders on that side of the ball returning, and the questions about our own offense. Meanwhile, USC's own defense wasn't that great last season, but perhaps they will be helped by a returning Vanderbilt offense that wasn't great either. As bad as USC's defense was last season, we held them to fewer total yds than our offense had, and sacked their QB more (3 vs 2).
The Vanderbilt game last season was the first game for USC after Spurrier quit, so there was some confusion but also some emotion for the Gamecock team. It would end up being the only win under interim HC Elliott. But this will be on Vandy's home field and I'm sure they will have the emotion on their side for the season opener.
There's just too many questions right now for the Gamecocks for me to have a clue how the game will go, but I still feel that the play of the defenses for both teams will decide the outcome....

I would favor Vanderbilt slightly but it could go either way

Loss. Not because I'm a Vandy fan -- well, not just because I'm a Vandy fan -- but because Coach Mason has developed his defense pretty well and Muschamp was never a great offensive mind. Roper could do some damage, but I'm not sure he has the quality of QB to hit the track running right out of the gate.
While I'm not going to promote our offensive, at least we finally have a confirmed full-time starter at QB for the first time since the regime change, and I'm cautiously optimistic about what he can do.

The past 2 seasons have taught me to just go into any game thinking you're gonna lose, and it will help soften the blow.
This offseason hasn't changed that for me. Vandy by 7.

Vandy but I definitely could see SC getting the Dub.

I'll set the over/under at 20.5
