Should Mizzou be concerned with South Carolina? I know they're good, but how good are they? Do they have a great football history? Have they ever won the SEC? What makes them good (other than their coach)? And, who is the Lattimore fella?

Other than Spurrier being a famous coach, I just don't know anything about the Cocks.

You shouldn't be concerned at all. I'm surprised they still play D1 football. I really feel sorry for them.

















But really they will beat you by 2 to 3 touchdowns. I hope this helped.

South Carolina is a team on the rise. They have had good teams but not great.

This year they will have the most talented team since 1984. Their defense will be stout however the new Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward is a wild card. Last year, Ellis Johnson was the DC and they were a top 5 defense. This year, L Ward wants to blitz more but they do not have the secondary to really accomplish that goal imo.

Teams will not be able to run that much on thier front four (Taylor and Clowney are names you need to know - beast mode on the D Line) however I think that passing the ball will be the way to defeat SC.

On offense, they have a good QB in Shaw, however his numbers from last year are hard to analysis. He started the last 4 regular season games and the bowl game and was efficent however there were many times he just threw the ball up in the air and Alson Jeffery would go up and get it (example - the end of the first half vs Nebraska in the bowl game).

Jeffery is not there and they only have one receiver that has played significantly and his name is Ace Sanders. Ace is fast but has the droppies. He will fly past defenders and stretch the field but will he catch the ball consistantly?

Marcus Lattimore is legit. He came off of knee surgery and will be their weapon of choice. He will probably carry the ball 30 times a game. He ran for over 200 yards against Georgia last year and should be able to continue that type of running.

The only knock on Lattimore is that he seems to get hurt each year and is out for a period of time. His freshman year, he got injured at Kentucky and then again in the bowl game vs Florida State. Last year, it was a fluke injury on the knee against Miss State. It will be interesting to see if he is 100% this year.

The others backs are solid but nothing like Lattimore. Incoming freshman Mike Davis may get a shot if injuries mount up.

The oline is another concern. The center and two guards are SEC quality. Not sure about the tackles.

USC can go anywhere from 11-1 to 8-4

The stretch from Georgia to Arkansas will be the key.

Georgia
LSU
Florida
Tenn
Ark

If they lose to Georgia, I can see this team fall apart by losing to LSU, Florida and Ark.

If they beat Georgia, losing to LSU wont ruin the season.

Arkansas is the one game that they cannot lose if they want to make it to Atlanta.

I think anyone should be concerned with their defense. And if Lattimore plays the whole year - they're gonna be very tough.

Killz this is a prime example of trolling, A+ stuff.

Yes, as should every team in the SEC

I know they're good, but how good are they?

I'd put UGA, USCe, and Arky all in a tie for 2nd going into the season behind Bama and LSU

quote:

Do they have a great football history?

Let's put it this way: last year was the first time they have ever won 11 games and they had rings made for the occasion

quote:

Have they ever won the SEC?

They've won the ACC. Once.

quote:

What makes them good (other than their coach)?

The remnants of an Ellis Johnson defense, namely their D-Line

who is the Lattimore fella?

The bane of my fricking existence

You know I got your back and all Sensei, but we need to pick our fights. And I'm just not really into Cock Fighting.

On the realz, I view South Carolina as our least winnable road game of any this year. With a pretty decently sized gap between them and Florida as our second most difficult road game, at least until Florida demonstrates it really has any semblance of an offense whatsoever. Defensively they are both pretty much awesome as hell, but the Cocks can score on you in a steady stream, all day or all night long, likely making it a long and hard visit for us. Wait, what?

I think you know more about Cocks then you lead on...

With that if you can stop the run their offense usually folds. They do have a good defense but they seem to have problem with depth, like most.

Mizzoukills, I am confident that you already know all about SC. Remember when you were searching for porn and a football team popped up? That's them. That's the cocks!

SC went 11-2 overall and 6-2 in conference and finished the year with the #3 rated defense in the nation.....Sorry Mizzou you loose this one by at least 17-21 points.

OMG, you guys are gonna get to know Mr. Lattimore on about 30 runs giving up over 200 yards. And God help you if Spurrier has finally found his QB. The SC defense will be one of the best you have fast the past few years. If this game is close it will be a shock to many. SC wins by at least 20!.

Wait till Clowney gets through with your offense. You'll know about 'em, then.
