SC vs. Florida preview.

I downloaded the entire SC vs. Missouri game and these are some thoughts that I'm having.

South Carolina's Offense:

Summary: It's bad.

Strengths:

1. Wide Receivers. Not the fastest, but they can make average quarterbacks look better by making the grabs.

2. Quarterback play. Kid's a natural, doesn't panic.* (See X-Factor Section)

Weaknesses:

1. Offensive line is bad. Missouri was knocking down and pressuring Bentley quite a bit.

2. Playcalling is very predictable.

South Carolina's Defense

Strength:

There's really nothing good.

Weakness:

1. Run defense is porous, Missouri moved the ball pretty easily and had two +20 yard touchdown runs.

2. Pass defense got cut up by Lock without much of a problem. Missouri had two very long drives where they just moved through.

Conclusion on South Carolina: South Carolina is living off their offense with their new quarterback.

X-Factors:

If we see Appleby playing, this will be his first home game. His numbers may be better than on the road.

Bentley will be playing his first away game, some guys feed off the energy but some people collapse.

Prediction:

Bentley having his first game with a silent count behind a terrible offensive line and average rushing could spell disaster, they will also be playing for, arguably, the most hated Florida ex-coach of all time (easily in my opinion) and both teamss are playing for the East.

With that, from most likely to most unlikely.

Florida wins convincingly. (14 points.)

Florida wins a close game. (7 or less.)

South Carolina wins a close game.

Florida blows out SC. (21 or more.)

South Carolina wins convincingly.

South Carolina wins in a blowout.

Interesting note:

Muschamp's team looks almost the exact same on offense and defense, just with less talent.
