South Carolina vs Tennessee

Should be good. I think the vols have shown a ton of improvement this year no matter what their record is.

They have way better offense, defense, QB, experience, you name it. Butch will have to pull something out of his arse too keep this game close.

The gamecocks have a better QB and of course there is clowney.. davis is having a hell of a year but to say they are more talanted at every position is a stretch

watch the games, my man... I think Butch has done a solid job, too... but you can't deny the fact that they are at least two years away from reaching USCe in the talent department.

QB and DL are just the most glaring examples... but it's all across the board, except OL.

always thought of all the bigger games for UT, SC is the most likely for an upset.

but it should be a good game as it usually is. SC fans shouldn't let last weeks win mask our problems. Our defense still has a tendency to give up big plays.

As mentioned before this game over the past 10-12 years has tended to be closer than it should be. And that goes for games in which either team was a heavy favorite.

I copied this from the SC Board

As far as how we match up, I look at the Stats, we're better than UT in just about all of them. I put who is statistically "better" in BOLD.

Some of the "Big Hitters:"
USC 23rd Total Offense, UT 87th
USC 23rd Total Defense, UT 80th
USC 19th Rushing Offense, UT 80th Rushing Defense
USC 26th 1st Down Defense, UT 86th 1st Down Offense
USC 8th in 3rd Down Conv, UT 91st in 3rd Down Conv Defense.

Statistically, USC should be able to overload them. We'll see if that happens though in Kneeland Stadium.

Cut your grass with a lawn mower this week please. Do not use those mountain goats to trim it as it appeared were used before the UGA game.

Will be close, but this is the kind of game Carolina loses. UT having an off week to get their heads together is pretty big.
