USCe fans, what are your thoughts on the A&M game?

Starting DT Ivan Robinson appears to have suffered a career ending injury, and is expected to not play.
Another starting DT Isaiah Golden has withdrawn from the current semester, but is expected to be back for the fall. He either will be ready, or won't. But in many situations similar..the player doesn't show up in shape. .
Starting LB Claiborne (Lousianimal) is in limbo for the opener, as he waits for his penalties resulting from a second arrest
If Texas a&m's new QB struggles like Manziel did in his first SEC game, this could get real ugly. Especially with a depleted defense that already sucked
ANYWAY..what's the word on your team, Cocks?

Heavy dose of Mike Davis and the Cocks should win by 10 at least.

Yeah I see Carolina running for 200+

The game is in Columbia, correct?

Correct..big Thursday Night kick off game with techno and all that fun stuff

I expect us to win the game. I really expect us to win because it is at home.
We will miss Shaw, but should be okay at QB. Word is Thompson is looking good and he has played in his fair share of big games, and played well for the most part.
We lost a goodbit on the DL, but we were fairly deep there, plus we have a big JUCO DT that should help.
OL and running game should be great. We could arguably have the best OL in the SEC.
Im expecting big years out of Shaq Roland, Pharao Cooper, and Damiere Byrd at WR. Word is the WR's are excited about this season because Dylan gets passes off quick and doesn't run or hold passes like Shaw tended to do. (Not a flame on Shaw, he is the best QB SC has ever had) The wr's just get more looks when Thompson has played.
It will beTexas A&M's first time in a sandstorm?

A&M has no chance to win this game. USCe by at least 4 touchdowns.

Right on all accounts, only I see Pharaoh Cooper getting more wildcock snaps than running routes.
We should have a potent offense if the OL can pass block as well as they can run block, with DT slinging it.

Without Maziel, Evans and Matthews and after watching that atrocious defense last year, I quit worrying about the game
Cocks should win by 21, but I bet it'll be more like 10 since we generally tend to let teams hang around in season openers

Damn, that sucks, sorry to hear that.

Both teams are going to score points, I think this might be one of our highest scoring games of the season.

We're on an 18 game home winning streak, this game is at home. I feel really good. We sell out even on Thursday games, so the crowd will be live. That will make it harder on aTm.
We have 8 returning starters on offense and 19 of the 22 from the last 2 Deep. We have 6 returning starters on defense and 17 of 22 from the last 2 Deep. CB and DE will be issues, we'll have new guys there against a pass happy HUNH team.
The game plan defensively will probably include keeping the ball on offense. We have a massive, experienced OL and the best returning RB in the SEC, we'll grind the clock to keep their offense off the field.
Still too much time b/w now and then to predict scores, plus we don't know who will play or be suspended. I feel good though. I don't think Spurrier has ever lost an opening game.

The real x-factor in this game. And our big uglies.

He had a child die a few months ago, and then a few weeks ago was arrested for smoking weed. He wanted to take some time away to get his head cleared, but he is expected back.

No, we try not to rely on 19 year olds to make those decisions. We also don't generally kick a kid out of the program for a noise violation. (That's right, Claiborne's second arrest was a noise violation). He might not play against USCe (that's not been determined), but he will almost certainly be a starter next year.

This is the kind of game Spurrier wins. I hope we win, but I think South Carolina takes it.

SCAR by 3pts. SC always struggles in the first game.

Don't be ridiculous. It will be more like 3 touchdowns since A&M will probably make a few field goals.

It's an SEC east team. I'm not worried.
