re: Vanderbilt vs gamecocks on Thursday September 1st..... your thoughts

Muschamp was never known for an offensive mind. He's one of the greatest college defensive mind's of all time though. B/c hardware, All SEC/All American players and NFL talent.

Yes, very much. Like Saban, Bielema and, well, our own Mason, his grounding is in defense, and he's very good at it (he didn't get a real chance to show that at Auburn, which wasn't his fault.) My point was that Vandy does have an established defense, a very good one, and until Champ gets the program up and running and Roper gets a chance to build his offense, Vandy's experience is (hopefully) going to give USC fits. And Champ hasn't had time to implement his D, considering he's following a coach that placed a priority on offense and recruited (mostly) to match.
