Carolina vs. Mississippi St.

Dev:
We'll have one of the best offenses we've had in awhile, mainly due to the addition of CORY BOYD. We have Spurrier. Mississippi State won 3 games last year. Their defense is stout, but we have too many options. Luckily, our green defense will be able to contain their offense. Cocks win by double digits.


wty:
Carolina's D vs. Miss. St.'s O: Carolina lost its top 10 tacklers from a year ago, meaning there will be tons of new faces out there Thursday night. However, they will be well coached, extremely athletic, and have the ability to surprise some people this year. The Bulldogs starting QB started the last three games of the 2005 season, completing just 44.4% of his passes with 2 TD and 5 interceptions. The young Gamecock defense has an opportunity to feast on him.

Carolina's O vs. Miss St.'s D: The Bulldog defense was tough last year and returns 9 starters from the 8th-best defensive unit in the SEC last season. Carolina has nuerous offensive weapons in Sidney Rice, Blake Mitchell, Mike Davis, and Cory Boyd. Coach Spurrier has had 7 months to gameplan and is still angry about the way Carolina lost in the Independence Bowl.

The Call: Carolina 30, Miss. St 13

Crummy:
As long as the equipment staff has found Blake a better fitting helmut/facemask the offense should put up good numbers this season and especially against the Miss. St. defense. I also look for the young Gamecock defense to go out with plenty to prove. Finally, Spurrier should be in full force, a bit angry about the loss to Misery to end last season, and be ready to outcoach the SEC this year.

i appologize for not bringing my insightful banter to the table but been moving and dodging...cough....hurricanes. but, for the last few posts....

notre dame covers, but gets worn out in straight games v. penn state/michigan and will be upset at mich state in week 4

tenn went form 2 point favs to (currently) 2 point dogs?!?!say it aint so kids, the bears will keep it close but no way they win this game. no quarterback controversy+daivid cutcliff=pulling the vols out of their rut

as for the cocks...i mean wow. we take an untested defense and throw up a goose egg. granted it was against a weak offense, but we OPENED not against FAU (watch out clemson, howard shnellenberer not to be underestimated(theyll at LEAST cover the spread)) but with an SEC school. my one concern is the offensive line, but i think being tested by a quality d like we saw thursday night should help brush off that stigma that surrounds the dawgs line
