East Carolina Pirates (16pt DOG) @ # 21 South Carolina Gamecocks….

Well, I think it goes without saying…………Nobody, I mean, NOooooooooobody saw that one coming!!!! Not even Coach Sumlin at Texas A&M!!!!....Have you ever heard the expression “Trap Game”?…….Well, that’s exactly what’s in play this week in Columbia!!! A good East Carolina football team is coming into Bryce Williams Stadium this weekend with a chip on their shoulder. They have a QB by the name Shane Carden and all he does is make it rain touchdowns with his arm!!!(2013 – 33 TDs and 4,139 yard passing!!!)…The Gamecocks could find themselves losing to Texas A&M twice if they didn’t shake off their loss from last week. Obviously Carolina’s secondary struggled last week and it doesn’t get any easier this weekend!!! The Good news is; it’s fixable. It’s not like Steve Spurrier is working with 2 star athletes. The talent is there but they must mature quickly to avoid another poor performance this weekend. With RB Mike Davis out this for this game, the offense will be limited on explosive runs but the team may be more focused on task at hand and actually pull closer together. Defensively-----The only remedy to an embarrassing loss is winning this week!!!....Look for Carolina’s defense to start fast but fade in the 4th quarter!!!…Cocks wins but do not cover 35-31!!!
