I am so ready for some SEC football! Can't wait for Thursday night to get this started. I'm thinking it is best for A&M to win this to get USC a conference loss, but I think USC is going to win this. Thoughts?

First game kinks could play a role for either team. I like USCe by 10 though. TAMU will be playing a new QB, USCe QB has a good amount of experience and they have the better defense.

So what you are saying is, you like the cocks? :suspect2:

Seriously though. I'm excited too. USCe should win this one easily.

Already game time drama.

Per Rotoworld:
South Carolina junior RB Mike Davis is questionable for the team's season opener against Texas A&M.

The running back is dealing with a rib injury, but it does not appear to be serious. "Mike Davis has been hurt; he hasn't practiced all week," head coach Steve Spurrier said. "I don't know if he'd even be able to start or not." Rotoworld contributor Cian Fahey recently detailed Davis' game and believes he "will be at his best running behind zone-blocking schemes that let him focus on making one cut before accelerating into space." Davis missed one game last season due to injury.

I was coming in here to say that it'll be South Carolina and it won't be close...until I read this. Could be a really interesting game if he can't go. Having said that, I think it's typical Spurrier talk.

I thought they had another decent back behind him.

I see it the same - an A&M win would be real nice for us but I doubt it happens.

No one is looking forward to the first game on the 27th involving an FBS team - Abilene Christian at Georgia State ?

Decent and Mike Davis are two different things. Their next highest running back has 256 yards last year.

I think USCe still wins a close one without Davis, but I don't think this game would be a blow out even if Davis was 100%. A&M may not be as good as last year, but they won't be a push over either. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

Perhaps I heard he was better than decent. I wouldn't base a players abilities on their previous years production, without putting it in context. If we did, then we should expect virtually nothing from our WR's this year.

I agree completely. I just think if you lose a guy like Mike Davis there will be a significant drop off. Not necessarily because the backup will get his carries, but because the third string RB will get the backups.

Cocks should win. Be better for us if aTm won, but I just don't see it. SOS is still SOS.

Spurrier will be able to exploit the A&M D, cocks win.
