THIS PICK OR ANY
I really like the Gamecocks this year under Steve Spurrier against Georgia as dogs. South Carolina could not get much going last week at NC State on offense, as they won 7-3 and it was only because NC State turned the ball over on their own 14 yard line. Georgia did not look much better against Oklahoma State. Georgia has lost some big dogs in Stafford and Moreno and have much more to over come this year.
So why am I picking the Gamecocks here today? Defense! Plain and simple I saw Oklahoma State in the backfield a bunch last week against Georgia and that's not expected from a Big 12 team at all. Now South Carolina sacked NC State 6 times last week and I see them getting a lot of pressure as Georgia is without OT Trinton Sturdivant. This game will be a low scoring affair similar to last season's win by Georgia 14-7. I was also impressed with Oklahomas run D as they held Georgia to 95 yards. Again that was Oklahoma State and this is South Carolina a much better defense. Expect a low scoring game here and look for South Carolina to win the field position battle and for Spurrier to take some risks on offense and keep this game close and pull the upset in a nice revenge spot!
