re: Can South Carolina bounce back to be a factor in the SEC?

depends on how we play vs UGA. Defense scares me right now. I think they'll come together, but not until the second half of the year. We just don't seem to have a game changer on that side of the ball. Maybe one of the linebackers will step up in a couple weeks. Anyway, our fundamentals look non-existent.

If Spurrier decides to call run plays more frequently, the offense should be potent enough to keep up with most teams.

I thought before the season and still do that we are a 8-4 or 9-3 team this year.
