Outback Bowl Pick: Gamecocks Just a Little Better

December 31, 2012

The 2013 Outback Bowl should be a great match-up between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Michigan Wolverines.  Both teams have a lot of similarities, but one is just a little better.

Michigan had a tough season at times.  The Wolverines did have to face both teams who are playing in the National Championship, plus an undefeated Ohio State team.

For the Wolverines, it was supposed to be a dual threat attack with the running ability of QB Denard Robinson and RB Fitzgerald Toussaint.

Toussaint suffered a gruesome ankle injury late in the year, while Robinson developed a nerve injury in his throwing arm, that has relegated him to an all-purpose player, lining up at both quarterback and running back at times.  Devin Gardner is the quarterback for Michigan.

Michigan also has a top-20 defense in terms of points against, ranking 16th in the country.

Meanwhile, for the Gamecocks, this was supposed to be the season that everything was put together, making a run for an SEC Championship.

After being on top of the world with a statement win against then 5th-ranked Georgia, South Carolina lost a tough one on the road against LSU, before having their fate sealed with an embarrassing loss against Florida.

However, for a team that does not have a long history of winning football, a 10-win season still is not too shabby.

The Gamecocks’ offense has had moments of greatness, followed by moments of inconsistent play.  A late season injury to RB Marcus Lattimore also hurt the offense.

This was supposed to be the year that the quarterback position would be stable for South Carolina.  Injuries to starter Connor Shaw opened the door for Dylan Thompson to see some action.  Thompson helped to lead the Gamecocks to two wins, including rival Clemson the last week of the season.

Shaw is the runner with passing ability.  Thompson is the passer, with running ability.

The key to the Gamecocks’ offense is going to be the running game.  South Carolina has to be able to run the ball against Michigan, to take the pressure off the quarterbacks, to give them an opportunity to win.  Senior RB Kenny Miles has a knack for coming up big in significant games.

Defensively, the Gamecocks must force the Wolverines to pass.  Michigan offers a lot of options running the ball, with the versatility of Robinson.  It will be important for the Gamecocks’ front-7, which includes All-American DE Jadeveon Clowney, not to over-pursue the run, and get pressure on the quarterback with the pass.

Despite some good plays, the Gamecocks’ defensive backs are not good enough one-on-one in coverage, without getting pressure on the quarterback to force bad throws.  South Carolina’s defense thrives on that pressure.

At the end of the day, while these two teams match-up well, the Gamecocks are just a little more battle tested, especially this year.

In 2012, the Big Ten Conference’s competition just did not seem up-to-par, as seen when a 7-5 Wisconsin team, only in the championship game because of penalties to Ohio State and Penn State, demolished the conference’s best team, Nebraska.

The SEC was as strong as ever in 2012, with two teams ranked in the top-3 to end the season.  While the strength of this conference is still in the Western Division, there are about 10-12 teams in this conference that could compete with anyone in the country.

Like last year’s Capital One Bowl, it is close for three quarters, but the power of the SEC pulls away late.

Gamecocks 34, Wolverines 24

Keep track of all of the bowl game results here.


Week 13 College Football Picks

November 22, 2012

It is rivalry week across college football, which makes it even tougher to pick in some of these games.  Some teams have everything to lose this week, while others are merely playing for pride and bragging rights.

Several teams also need wins to become bowl eligible, while others are just jockeying to get a little higher in their conference.

Last Week:  24-5 (.828)

TCU vs. #16 Texas

#7 LSU vs. Arkansas

#14 Nebraska vs. Iowa

Ohio vs. #23 Kent State

Arizona State vs. #24 Arizona

#25 Washington vs. Washington State

Auburn vs. #2 Alabama (Not exactly the Iron Bowl of a couple years ago.)

Georgia Tech vs. #3 Georgia

#4 Florida vs. #10 Florida State

#5 Oregon vs. #15 Oregon State  (This probably would be closer if Oregon beat Stanford last week, but the Ducks likely want revenge.)

Defense is Key to South Carolina vs. Clemson Winner

November 21, 2012

As crazy as it might sound, the key to Saturday night’s game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers, is defense.

However, when you take a second to think about it, it’s not as out there as you think.

The Gamecocks defense has been one of the top in the country in 2012, but has struggled against the option and pass heavy teams.

Of course, Clemson does not run the option, but QB Tajh Boyd has been putting up spectacular numbers the last few weeks.  Add on the running of RB Andre Ellington and the big play abilities of WR Sammy Watkins and WR DeAndre Hopkins, the Clemson offense can be almost impossible to stop.

The key to South Carolina’s defensive success will be getting pressure on Boyd.  If Gamecocks’ Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward cannot get pressure on the Tigers’ quarterback, it will expose the defense’s biggest weakness, the mediocre cornerbacks.

D.J. Swearinger has been all over the field, legally and illegally (quite regularly) tackling the ball-carrier and making big defensive plays in the secondary.  But Clemson has as many weapons offensively as anyone the Gamecocks have faced this season.

The health of Jadeveon Clowney is crucial.  Clowney sat out last week’s game against Wofford to rest his foot and knee injuries.  If he does not play, the Gamecocks will not be able to get the consistent pressure on Boyd to slow down Clemson’s offense.

Clemson’s defense is a little surprising, and it might not be as bad as people say it is.

Take a look at these numbers–19, 27, 7, 49 (loss), 31, 31, 17, 13, 20, 10, 48–that’s how many points the Tigers have given up in each game this season.

While there are a couple of numbers that stick out, there have been several good defensive performances this season.

Clearly, Clemson’s best defense, is its offense.  But the Tigers’ defense will have it a lot easier if Gamecocks’ QB Connor Shaw does not play.  Since the injury to RB Marcus Lattimore, the offense’s success solely rests on Shaw’s ability to make plays.

Shaw is the key to the Gamecocks offense, and his back-up, QB Dylan Thompson has not shown he can beat a top-ranked college program.

For South Carolina to win this game, they will need both Shaw and Clowney available to play, and hold Clemson to fewer than 40 points.  If not, the Gamecocks’ offense will not be able to keep up.

So, it’s simple, defense is the key to determining who wins this game.


Week 12 College Football Picks

November 14, 2012

It’s November for college football, meaning losses now hurt much worse than they did back in September.

However, with the recent BCS rankings, it shows if you’re in a good enough conference, it might not hurt as bad.

With that said, it was a solid week picking, still with single digit losses for the week, continuing the streak of not incorrectly picking more than nine games this season.  You can never complain with that.

Also, after checking out the picks, be sure to find where your favorite team might be playing after the regular season on our 2012-13 College Bowl Projections.

Last Week:  20-7 (.741)

Overall:  245-60 (.803)

#1 Kansas State vs. Baylor

#13 Stanford vs. #2 Oregon (If Oregon makes it to the National Championship game, you can not say that November was easy for them.)

Wake Forest vs. #3 Notre Dame

Western Carolina vs. #4 Alabama

Georgia Southern vs. #5 Georgia

Jacksonville State vs. #6 Florida (The Gators should be able to win this without Jeff Driskel, but then you do have to remember about last week.)

Ole Miss vs. #7 LSU

Sam Houston State vs. #8 Texas A&M (Normally you would say that the Aggies are set for a let-down, but that shouldn’t happen with Sam Houston State.)

Wofford vs. #9 South Carolina

#10 Florida State vs. Maryland

North Carolina State vs. #11 Clemson (If N.C. State were to win, they could at least claim they beat the two best teams in the ACC this year.)

#12 Oklahoma vs. West Virginia

Minnesota vs. #14 Nebraska

California vs. #16 Oregon State

#18 USC vs. #17 UCLA (Winner will likely go to Pac-12 Championship game.)

Utah State vs. #20 Louisiana Tech (Louisiana Tech has to win out to have a shot at going to a BCS bowl.)

Iowa vs. #21 Michigan

#22 Rutgers vs. Cincinnati

#23 Texas Tech vs. #24 Oklahoma State

#25 Washington vs. Colorado

North Carolina vs. Virginia

Virginia Tech vs. Boston College

South Florida vs. Miami (FL)

Duke vs. Georgia Tech (Closest to 100 wins, unless they go over.)

Arkansas vs. Mississippi State (The Bulldogs have to rebound; they were going strong but have really stunk it up the last few weeks.)

Alabama A&M vs. Auburn (The SEC should win this, right?)

Syracuse vs. Missouri (The SEC should win this, right?)

Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt

Samford vs. Kentucky (The SEC should win this, right?)


Week 11 College Football Picks

November 6, 2012

An overall good week in Week 11.  A couple of upsets didn’t quite end up happening, but that’s the risk.

Don’t forget after checking out this week’s picks, to check out the 2012-13 Bowl Predictions.

Last Week:  20-6 (.769)

Overall:  225-53 (.809)

Ball State vs. #25 Toledo (This game is the reason these picks are coming Tuesday, as opposed to Wednesday or Thursday.)

#10 Florida State vs. Virginia Tech (Any other year, you would consider calling the upset.)

#15 Texas A&M vs. #1 Alabama (If Alabama is going to get upset in the regular season, this will be the week.)

#2 Kansas State vs. TCU (If Kansas State is going to get upset in the regular season, this will be the week.)

#3 Oregon vs. California

#4 Notre Dame vs. Boston College

#5 Georgia vs. Auburn

Louisiana-Lafayette vs. #6 Florida

#21 Mississippi State vs. #7 LSU

Arkansas vs. #8 South Carolina (If this Arkansas team has QB Tyler Wilson playing well, a poor South Carolina secondary might make this a closer game.)

#9 Louisville vs. Syracuse

#11 Oregon State vs. #14 Stanford

Baylor vs. #12 Oklahoma

Maryland vs. #13 Clemson (It’s hard to think of an upset here when you are out of quarterbacks.)

Penn State vs. #16 Nebraska (Nebraska really needs this one to show they are legitimate, not just the class of the Big Ten because of Penn State and Ohio State having postseason bans.)

Iowa State vs. #17 Texas

#18 UCLA vs. Washington State

Arizona State vs. #19 USC

#20 Louisiana Tech vs. Texas State

Kansas vs. #22 Texas Tech

Army vs. #23 Rutgers

#24 Northwestern vs. Michigan

Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss


2012 Gamecocks’ Football Predictions

August 30, 2012

After a very impressive 2011 season, the South Carolina Gamecocks hope to improve over its 11-2 season.

So can the Gamecocks duplicate or even improve on last season, here is a little glimpse into South Carolina’s 2012 season.

August 30th – at Vanderbilt

Yet again, the Gamecocks find themselves opening the season on a Thursday night.  This time it’s against a team that has given the Gamecocks problems year after year.

Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has changed the attitude of the Commodores’ football program, so will it be the difference?

Not this year.  The Commodores will prove to be a tough foe like normal for the Gamecocks, but Heisman Trophy candidate RB Marcus Lattimore will want to prove that the knee injury from last year did not slow him down at all.

This game will be close for three quarters, but the Gamecocks will prove late in the game why they open the season ranked No. 9.

Gamecocks 31, Commodores 21

September 8th – vs. East Carolina

The Gamecocks face the team they opened the season in 2011 in its home opener in 2012.

East Carolina starts a stretch of three consecutive home games for the Gamecocks.

However, the Pirates don’t pack the same punch that they did last season, so South Carolina should easily handle East Carolina.

Gamecocks 37, Pirates 24

September 15th – vs. UAB

This game is simple.  It’s a warm-up game for the Gamecocks before jumping into the meat of its schedule.

UAB scores points late as the Gamecocks’ spread playing time around.

Gamecocks 45, Blazers 17

September 22nd – vs. Missouri

The first ‘Battle of Columbia’ is the Gamecocks’ second conference game of the season.

The Tigers will be a tough test for the Gamecocks, as Missouri competes in its first season in the SEC.  There is a natural adjustment period as Missouri moves from the Big 12.

This game will be a closer game than many people would anticipate.  Even with all the scouting equipment around, there is no comparison for being on the same field.

South Carolina might struggle early, but will show off the power of the SEC late.

Gamecocks 27, Tigers 17

September 29th – at Kentucky

You don’t have to go too far back to look at Gamecock disappointments in Lexington.  Just two years ago, after a upset of Alabama, the Gamecocks were upset by the Wildcats.

There is no question the Gamecocks will have revenge on the mind in 2012.  However, this game might be close early on, as South Carolina looks ahead to potentially the SEC Eastern Division Championship Game the following week against Georgia.

At the end of the day, the Gamecocks will just be too much for the Wildcats.

Gamecocks 38, Wildcats 24

October 6th – vs. Georgia

This is going to be the most important game for the Gamecocks in 2012.  It could come down to this game to determine who plays in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game.

Gamecocks’ head coach Steve Spurrier added fuel to this rivalry earlier this year, when he commented that the later game date would allow Georgia’s suspended players to be back in time.

Both teams are very even, and this should be one of the best games in college football this season.  The difference, is where this game will be played.

Gamecocks 24, Bulldogs 17

October 13th – at LSU

LSU has dealt with a lot this off-season.  The biggest came just a few weeks ago when Heisman Trophy finalist CB Tyrann Mathieu was dismissed from the program.

Also, QB Jordan Jefferson is gone, and QB Zach Mettenberger takes over for Les Miles.

Fans of the SEC know that it is about impossible to go to Baton Rouge and expect to win on the road.  This trip for the Gamecocks will be no different.

The difference in this game will be its location, giving the Tigers the edge.

Tigers 23, Gamecocks 16

October 20th – at Florida

There is nothing like following up a trip to LSU, with a trip to Gainesville.  For the Gamecocks, that’s how this season shapes up.

Florida is still a year or two away from being serious contenders in the SEC East, but will prove to be a tough battle for the Gamecocks in 2012.

But Steve Spurrier knows how to win in Gainesville.  A week after losing to LSU, the Gamecocks will come out slow, but ultimately find a way to win.

Gamecocks 23, Gators 20

October 27th – vs. Tennessee

This game screams ‘trap game’ for the Gamecocks in 2012.  However this game might be critical in the Gamecocks pursuit of winning the SEC.

Tennessee could be the surprise of the SEC this season.  They probably won’t make it to Atlanta, but they might surprise some teams.  This could be one of those surprises.

If the Volunteers can stay healthy, this might be a tougher game for South Carolina than anticipated.

But the comforts of Williams-Brice Stadium prove to be the difference again, as the Gamecocks pull out the victory.

Gamecocks 24, Volunteers 14

November 10th – vs. Arkansas

If there is one question that the Gamecocks’ fans would like answered, it is how on earth do you win against Arkansas?

This is the year this might get answered.  For all of the off-field issues that the Razorbacks have faced since last season, it might be a struggle at times for John L. Smith and Arkansas.

Arkansas still gets to a bowl game, but dreams of winning the SEC West might be extreme.

This will be a very even game, and high scoring again.  But Williams-Brice Stadium will make the difference.

Gamecocks 45, Razorbacks 38

November 17th – vs. Wofford

There is no secret that the Gamecocks struggle against the triple option.  There is also no secret that the Gamecocks struggle against in-state rival Wofford.

Most of the time, this would be viewed as an easy game.  However, the Gamecocks don’t play well against Wofford.

This year will be different.  It won’t be pretty, but the Gamecocks prove that they can handle Wofford.

Gamecocks 32, Terriers 10

November 24th – at Clemson

What is there to say about this game, except that it’s a rivalry game.  Georgia is the most important game this season, but this one is a close second.

Georgia makes the difference in whether the Gamecocks get a 13th game in Atlanta.  This game could make the difference whether you play a bowl game before, or after January 1st.

This game has the potential to be a Top-10 match-up, and both of the teams are very evenly matched.

But the team that is battle-tested, the Gamecocks, ultimately win this ‘Battle of the Palmetto State.’

Gamecocks 28, Tigers 24

Final record:  11-1 overall, 7-1 in SEC East

Northern Iowa vs. #12 Wisconsin

Gamecocks Claim Third Consecutive State Championship

November 27, 2011

South Carolina takes down Clemson 34-13

The South Carolina Gamecocks (10-2) defeated the Clemson Tigers (9-3) 34-13 Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium, giving the Gamecocks the first three game winning streak in the series since the late 1960s.

Connor Shaw rushed for over 100 yards and three for three touchdowns in the rout of the Tigers.

The Gamecocks defense sacked Tigers’ QB Tajh Boyd five times, limiting him to 11-of-29 passing, for 83 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

“We were hoping to play our best game of the year and we probably did,” said Spurrier.  “Defense was sensational all night; great effort.  Offensively we did enough good things here and there to run for over 200 yards and pass for the exact (same) amount.  That’s sort of our formula for winning.”

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney was disappointed by the way his team played Saturday, especially ahead of next week’s ACC Championship Game.

“Everything is coaching.  It is on me, simple as that.  It starts with me,” said Swinney.  “I love my players, they practice hard, prepare hard.  We are not doing a very good job of coaching right now, and that is on me.”

In the first half, both teams played pretty evenly, however Clemson had a hard time containing Shaw.  That changed in the second half.

Another key in this game was the less-than-stellar play from Clemson WR Sammy Watkins.  Watkins finished the game with four receptions for 39 yards.

Gamecocks’ Assistant Head Coach Ellis Johnson said that he did not believe the speedy freshman phenom was healthy.

The Gamecocks were successful on two of the three keys from this afternoon’s show.

The Gamecocks did allow a few big plays on special teams, including a blocked punt and a long return.  Grade:  C-

The Gamecocks did a good job of getting pressure on Boyd, and forcing him to make plays.  Grade:  B

The biggest key was controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.  The Gamecocks were able to get lots of pressure on Boyd, and opened up big holes in the running game for both Kenny Miles and Shaw.  Grade:  A-

The Gamecocks now wait to find out which bowl they might go to (shameless plug:  we’ll post our bowl predictions tomorrow night), but it is looking more like the Cotton Bowl.

Clemson plays in the ACC Championship Game next week against Virginia Tech for a chance to go to the Orange Bowl.
