We tied for 6th in takeaways last year I believe. Not great but it was more than LSU or Bama had

USCe oline is very good. They will run the ball at will and eat up the clock and pass off play action. A&M's defense is still crap until proven otherwise.

A&M's offense is breaking in a new QB but should still be decent. Oline should be strong but I don't think the running game is your strong suit. Lots of talent at WR but I don't think it's enough because USCe is returning a pretty good defense.

USCe -35
A&M -17

one key. the only key. davis and wilds must be a major factor. our green secondary cant be torched if the aggie offense is sittin on their arse. 15 play, 8 miniutes drives. cant lose there.

Yeldon fumbled against us last year at the 5 yard line? In '12 Bama had 3 turnovers against us, and a INT taken away for some reason.

Weather Forecast For Columbia, SC

Thursday, Aug 28
Sunny
High: 96° Low: 72°
CHANCE OF RAIN: 0%
WIND: WNW at 4 mph


So it's going to be incredibly hot and muggy.

Does this give either team an edge? If so, what?

Nah.
Those conditions are par for the course for both teams this time of the year.
If anything, they're on the mild side.

It can't hurt with our tempo on offense. Both teams are used to playing in the heat though. Don't think it means much.

Our offense was better than our D was bad last year. Our offense has the top two offenses in SEC history (in our only two years) for yards gained per game. 5 teams have averaged over 500 yards per game in SEC history. Two Spurrier UF teams and 98 Kentucky to follow after A&Ms two times.

Also our D wasn't horrible in 2012. Just 2013.


But our D is horrible until proven otherwise but our offense isn't great until proven otherwise?

Sounds like somebody has an agenda.

That's DECEMBER weather for College Station.

Add another 10 degrees for weather in B/CS this time of year.

As for the defense. The biggest difference between the 2012 and 2013 defense is simple.

Between 2012 and 2013, the defense lost it's #1, #2, #4, #5, and #8 players in terms of tackles, TFL, and sacks.

Let's put it this way: Damontre Moore had more tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks in 2012 than all four players who lined up at rush end in 2013 COMBINED.

Not really an analysis but a few thoughts.

Think A&M has a decent shot to pull off the upset. I like that Kenny Hill is starting the first game because he knows the offense quite a bit better with his experience last year. Much more of the offensive package is in. Will not be like Florida 2012.

SC has some inexperience on offense so they may misfire some. If our defense comes out looking like the number 75+ D in the nation then we are definitely in trouble. No pressure on SC QB and we are in for a tough day.

Need defensive stops. Will be genuinely surprised if Ags don't move the ball pretty well. SC just doesn't see many offenses like Sumlins.. A lot going on. Expecting Ags to score in the mid 20s but if we can get into the mid 30s we can win.

Please put the following:

1. Keys to the game/Key matchups

2. How South Carolina can/will win

3. How A&M can/will win

4. Result and margin prediction


1 - The keys to the game for SCAR are to control the clock and convert on 3rd down. Try to keep it 3rd and short, but convert on 3rd down regardless. SCAR also needs to get pressure on A&M's young QB, take advantage of the homecrowd noise factor and force A&M to make mistakes. Don't get caught off guard if A&M comes out trying to establish a running game.

2 - SCAR will win if they outscore A&M.

3 - A&M will win if they outscore SCAR.

4 - SCAR by 10 or more.
