Don't know how many of you have followed the career of the local East TN guy who is OC of the Gamecocks. Marcus is from Greenback and his wife, Sarah, is originally from Seymour. Nice family. Know his FIL.
But the talent he is working with is not even what he had at Temple IMO. He followed Matt Rhule around for much of his career except for making a mistake and taking the HC job at TN Tech for a year. The scheme he is running is not overly complicated and usually does not produce an insurmountable amount of points even when he has talent to work with. More ball control style under Rhule and I would think Beamer from what I have seen. Going against Banks and Garner is going to be a big time mismatch IMO. Only a couple of picks because they are really conservative in their throws, but they have put the ball on the ground 10 times and have lost 7.
I'm expecting a 20+ point win. The tempo is going to completely wear them down by the second half.
