This is probably a game to stay away from betting wise. SC is good at home and while State is playing well, there is still some unpredictably about this game. It could be a close game that SC wins by four and covers or SC wins by three and State covers or several other different combinations could happen.
It should be an entertaining game.

Miss. State has a coach with a brain, that’s the deciding factor. Imagine being stuck with their coach.

He’s average which is bad coming from an LSU perspective. I would be pissed if he were our coach.

I agree he is average grading on a scale against SEC head coaches but that is a bit unfair putting him up against guys like Kirbs, Sark, and Lane.

He almost made the playoffs once at USC which is a pretty solid accomplishment.

South Carolina is a hard team to gauge. Depends on Sellers.

As a State fan I try to look at this game objectively, without bias. SC has played nobody so its hard to gauge them.

Also Sellers was bad throwing the ball against Towson (whoever that is) & if he plays like that against State, it'll be over in the first half. SC won't run the ball for 400 against us so he'll need to throw it.

But if Sellers & SC bring their A game they can absolutely win. This is a prime example of a toss up. Hard to win on the road in the SEC.

Here's to a hard fought contest, no injuries! & may the best team (State) win.

Meant to say I expect a SC win. Just don't hurt our QB.

Does Not compute. He gets rattled easily and doesn’t perform well under pressure.

State will rattle his cage

The only team that can stop tGrind is USCe because we don’t tGrind on cocks.

tGrind is

ON {OFF}

USCe wins off of special teams

You've played Kent State and Towson. At least State played what was supposed to be a decent BIG team already. I'm wondering if the step up in competition will play heavily to State's advantage for the first quarter or two. If it does, I think they've already proven that may be long enough for them to put the game away. Starting with 2 cupcakes is a horrible strategy, imo.

College football is a crap shoot on any given weekend. It's in Columbia and we're basically getting homefield advantage in the line. What's not to understand?

Do I think we win? Not necessarily, we haven't played anyone with a pulse.

Your defense does look legit, but your offense has been slow to start in both games (I think both, I know Towson for sure) and the scores have been inflated by punt returns and I think defensive TDs (admittedly, I haven't watched more than 2 quarters of USC so far this year).

They're definitely better this year, but I think it's hard to say how much just because the competition has been so bad. For teams that can control Sellars and Fuller in the run game, I think your offense is going to really struggle to move the ball. Is State one of those teams, I don't know. But, I think they will score 30+, so you'd better hope they're not.

South Carolina either plays like a Top 4 SEC team or a Bottom 4 SEC team. There's generally no in-between.

State has been way more impressive so far this year. Going on the road to Minnesota and winning the way that they did deserves recognition. This is Kamario Taylor's first SEC road start. Williams Brice has given Miss State trouble over the years so hopefully the crowd is rocking for this one, I wish it was a night game.

Hoping it's a good, entertaining game.
