Less than two weeks out!

Should be a good one.

Definitely an intriguing match-up. Should be a great game featuring two great defences

[Milktruck74]

I would love to see my Mocs win 31-28, but I'm not sure we have the Offensive Horsepower to get that done. Maybe Arth's fresh set of eyes will create something that will surprise me, I'm really excited to see what he does with Benefield. There are always plenty of mistakes in the first game, so I think a defensive score is the difference in this game.

Just to make this poll easier to find also some good discussions in here as well:

But yeah, I also believe it will come down to defense in some form or fashion. Likely whoever wins the turnover battle will win.

Our offense has has potential but until I see it I'm going to assume the defense will be the headliners in this one.

[ElCid]

I am sure that everyone believes it will a defensive struggle......so it will probably end up being 49-48.😀

Or a straight up blowout.

[ElCid]

Or a straight up blowout.

Always possible but I don't think so. Too much competitiveness between the two. But with UTC's new coach, who knows. He could either figure out how to win this or be totally lost. I am in countdown mode for this. 11 days!

Who is JSU's QB this year? How is he/she looking?

Most likely Bryant Horn. He looked good for us last year and word is he's doing well.

Is he a duel threat guy or what? Any expected scheme changes for the Cocks?

He's more of a passer than Eli. He's got wheels though and a really high football IQ. He doesn't take as many risks as Eli in the passing game. We will still have plenty of QB option.

[longtimemocfan]

This early in the year and the way both defenses are loaded. Probably a pretty low scoring affair.

[milleniumkat]

Are there really two threads for this one game?

so jealous you guys go first.

[JSUSoutherner]

I'm just glad we both aren't on the same day. I'm definitely catching your game with Richmond on Sunday.

[SU DOG]

I see where the off-shore bookies have the Gamecocks a 6.5 point favorite.

Dude, you fixed your ****ing signature!! Praise big baby jesus!

Not sure how to feel about that.

I wouldn't say "fixed", more like "agreed". But if you are happy, then i'm happy.

I'm sorry but i didn't look, who is home team?

[JSUSoutherner]

Technically us. It's a neutral site game but we will be in red. However, JSU is sitting on the away side so the stadium looks full for the cameras.

UTC can't even fill their own stadium.

6 points at a neutral site is big. they are banking on coaching change making a big issue for chatty.

Next Saturday at 5:30CST on ESPN.
