South Carolina at Vanderbilt (09/04/2008)

haha, fading

First let me say, I come to this site to here what everyone has to say prior to making a wager...Thank you to all of you...Help me out on this...

Can someone shed some light on this for me???

Vandy hung with GA, TN, and Kentucky last year(good teams)...Granted they lost but not by a lot...I watched a few of SC's games last year and there Defense is good but there offense is terrible...

And last week they didnt score until the 2nd half...

My question I guess is why so little fath in Vandy? Did they get better or worse from last year and why???

i'll give it a shot...

one thing to think about... SC is a Steve Spurrier coached team, with an almost cult-like following... most people can't name the coach of Vandy, and few follow the team at all...

for some reason, like i said earlier, every year the SC fanatics get everyone all hyped on this team, saying this is the year the Spurrier offense will start to click... but it never does, because they never have the kind of talent he needs to get it done... every year, we watch games like last weekend, where they are supposed to dominate, but instead have to depend on their defense to bail them out...

i can tell you one thing about this game that is not debatable... the best QB on the field plays for Vandy... probably the 2nd best also plays for Vandy, actually...

their defense is for real... which deserves to be stated, because against the Gamecocks very shaky, anemic offense, they are bound to capitalize on some mistakes...

meanwhile, while the C's don't have a juggernaut offense... they have better weapons than what SC saw last week from NC St... especially at QB...

QB play early in the year in CFB is crucial... and a lot of times making the right play in an otherwise evenly matched is as simple as backing the right QB...

SC shouldn't even be favored in this game... not by more than 3 anyway...

Th. Interconference home dog... and throw in the other factors... it all spells a dog cover, and possible straight up win... will be a dogfight, that's for sure...

i bet the under and cocks last week as well... great bet... this is a different story though... all those horrible passes from beecher wont be there this week... and there wont be 4 ints... take your under and take vandy as a gift... i just hope you get a reciept, ull most likely need it, unless weather factors in big...
