USC by 10 or more. They were basically without a coach last year and still kept a lot of games close that they had no business being in. Spurrier got lazy and blamed his failures on a lack of talent. There is still enough talent on that team to get 6-8 wins if someone can properly coach them. The Muschamp hire really puzzles me though.

I dont think Spurrier is lying about the lack of talent.

Thanks Bammer! I don't know if Cocks win because history has been Cocks struggle in openers and Spurrier actually lost to Vandy two years in a row not long ago.

So many think Cocks will not do well under Muschamp because Spurrier was so much better at offense but go back and look at SC's offense rankings under Spurrier. The Spurrier of SC was not the same Spurrier of UF. The offenses were never more than average....a few years were in the 60's and 70's nationally. Cocks won when the defense was stout and ranked in top 20 and top 10. If Champ gets defense back to those levels and has an average offense Cocks will be fine.

One thing is a given and that is recruiting will be better under Muschamp, it can't be worse than Spurrier's last few years when Junior was running the show and the guy admitted he "hated carrying his cell phone".
