UGA Changed, we beat them way worse than you all did and we played against Moreno. I think our defense will be better than yours, not to mention our offense will be leaps and bounds better. While you may have a coaching advantage I honestly do not know how you can even try and compare the two talent wise.
FYI Brinkley is projected as the 10th best ILB for next years NFL draft. Mayo was picked early in the first round. He is predicted to go in the 5t-6th round. Mayo was better.

Get your facts straight man. First of all Crompton isn't exactly a seasoned veteran himself. Second of all this is both Beecher and Smelleys third year on campus.

Crompton, racked over 200yds. 2 tds, and flattened 1st round draft pick LaRon Landry in one half...What has Beecher done???

On 5 attempts last year Smelly had 0 TDs 1 INT 3 and -16 yards on 2 attempts (prolly sacks). Our D will be better, lets hope Beecher is better than him.

Here are the facts...


SPURRIER NAMES REDSHIRT JUNIOR SUMMER STARTER DESPITE TERRIBLE SPRING GAME PERFORMANCE

There aren’t many places in the Southeastern Conference where a quarterback can throw three interceptions in the spring game scrimmage and still get named the team’s starter. But at the University of South Carolina, where Tommy Beecher’s closest competition threw five interceptions in the same game, the decision wasn’t too difficult.

So late Tuesday, coach Steve Spurrier named Beecher the starter going into the summer over Chris Smelley.

It was tough to get much of a read on Beecher because he played so sparingly the past two seasons – attempting just 25 passes in six games at quarterback. But the redshirt junior received plenty of work this spring, particularly after Stephen Garcia was suspended again.

What struck me first about Beecher was his arm strength. At one of the night practices the first week or two, Beecher aired out a tight spiral in a drill that must have traveled a good 60 yards.

The pass fell incomplete, but I remember making a note of it because I had never seen Beecher crank out a throw like that. The rest of that night and throughout spring practice, Beecher proved he could make all the passes. [JOE PERSON - The State]

This is all well and good, but it is doubtful this will end the competition at quarterback. If the last few years are an indicator, Spurrier will probably change his mind a few dozen times between now and the start of the season. And although the Beecher v. Smelley showdown is interesting, if Stephen Garcia gets his act together and stays out of trouble for the next few months, he’ll be in the mix.

To say the Gamecocks have a quarterback problem, though, is a gross understatement.

2 or 3 games actually. And if Smelley beats him out for the starting job he will have more experience than God's gift to earth, Johnathan Crompton.

In all honestly can you really say that USC is as tallented in any aspect of the game as ut? I mean Special teams, offense, defense.

Has talent even mattered in this series since Spurrier has been here? Yall may have been bad when we beat yall in '05 but who was so much more talented? Point made. Mayo and Brinkley are a part of 2 different drafts right? So what point are you trying to make? Brinkley is among the top 2 LBs in the SEC, any SEC guru who knows what he's talking about will tell you that. 2 football services has USC with the top LB corps in the SEC and top secondary in the SEC for a reason. Yes we played Moreno. He ran for over 100 against us. UGA put up 35 against Ok. St. the week before us and got held without a TD.

We might be decent in Special teams this year. We hired the top ST coordinator in college football (besides Beamer)

Obviously it has since we have won more games with who many see to be an inferior coach.
Second, How many college games has he played in?

USC's strength will be thier defense, namely their secondary. Beyond that, theres not much hope. They have one receiver who is pretty good, (Mckinley, might not be spelled right) but without a QB to get him the ball, it wont matter. As Ive said before, hope springs eternal this time of year in SC. I have to listen to all thier homers talking about how good USC is this year and how great they are going to be, blah blah blah...it gets to be pathetic at some point. I usually just go along and smile at them, just cause I dont have the energy to debunk thier fantasy.

As for the UT/SC game this year...I think it will be pretty entertaining. I expect USC to keep it pretty close in the first half, but in the second half, when thier defense has been on the field all day, UT will open it up on them. UT 31-10.

Here's another guarentee. Yall wont win by more than 10 points. That seems to be a fantasy that yall have.

Guarantee. Plus, you might hate orange, but you should love some facts. And the fact is, if your offense can't score against your defense, then they will have a horrible time against Tennessee, which practically mirrors everything right and wrong with Carolina's defense.

Ok D-line, 1 star LB and a few other guys that could be potential stars, and awesome DB's.

The difference in the equation, however, is we have a hellacious receiving crew returning, a 3.5-year starter at RB, an offensive line returning 5 starters that weigh at an average of 307 pounds apiece (who knows if they've added weight and strength this offseason) and yielded 4 sacks all last season, and a potential stud at QB. Not to mention, all of these blue chip sophomores that are going to be running trick plays up y'alls rear-ends that you won't know what to do.

Spurrier cannot make your mediocre QB's good. Spurrier doesn't have the great weather to attract great players anymore. He's just an ok recruiter anymore, and he looks so mean and pissed off on TV that I'm sure alot of really great players don't want to play for him.

So I stick to my previously stated score, 31-10, but I think that 10 is a little too much. UT for the win!

We have blue chip sophomores too. I remember us sacking Ainge last year and we dont lose anyone on the D-line either. Our runningback has been starting since he was a freshman. A POTENTIAL stud at QB. Don't tell me he's good until he's leading yall to multiple wins in the SEC. Who in your receiving crew should I worry about? I'm pretty sure both receiving corps are about equal.
