While I will not be playing Troy, mainly because I have enough plays as it is, I think Troy is the right side in this play. Good luck, Thursday is almost here . . . . . .

All time series is at: 26-26-4. These 2 teams met at last yrs opener, SC crushing NCST 34-0. SC has no great deal of returning talent, and has had the worst running attack in the SEC the last 2 seasons.The team scored a total of 30 pts the last 3 games of 08.Clearly the burden to generate pts falls on the shoulders of Stephen Garcia Despite the fact that Steve Spurrier is entering his 5th season as HC at So Carolina the program remains mediocre by SEC standards.

Few expected the results that NCST would get at the QB position in 08,but Freshman Russell Wilson burst on the scene. en route to becoming the 1st freshman ever to earn 1st team ACC honors at QB position. He led the conf. in pass eff.
(133.93),total off.(213ypg), threw for 1955yds, 17 TD's against 1 interception.Now enters the season having thrown 249 consecutive passes w/o an interception. His 2 top WR are back in top form...jr. Owen Spencer (31 rec,691 yds,5TD) and Jarvis Williams (26 recp,432yds,4TD) Sr Toney Baker returns at the TB position,we'll see how he responds after missing last 2 seasons w/knee injury.
Last yrs Defense struggled at times and gave up tons of yards,but with 7 starters returning things are looking up for this side of the football.
This game will be close but i expect the Wolfpack to come out on top this time. Wilson is a special player who will only get better with experience.

NCST -3
