South Carolina vs. NC State (Total)
South Carolina and NC State UNDER 46
This will be my only play on Thursday night and the reason is pretty solid. South Carolina keeps a underrated very tough SEC defense. Last year this defense quietly was the #3 best pass defense in the nation, and also was great against the run. But this year this defense took a good loss in the secondary. But I feel confident in the guys that are going to start this year. At 6'2 Gilmore who is a big time sleeper this year at corner for South Carolina will get the start. This kid was great in the spring and showed a lot of promise. As a whole he stuck out but the secondary was solid. And the run game was the same tough South Carolina D. NC State on the other hand is going up against a South Carolina offense that actually never got acquainted to the style that Spurrier likes to run. And the reason is clear, he cant get the recruits he need on offense to run his style. They rather go to schools like Florida, and North Carolina. So this year there's a lot of questions about Garcia, can he be the QB that Spurrier needs ? NC State defense last year was'nt a bad unit last year themselves. They was pretty good against the run. With 3 lineman and 2 linebackers returning they should be even better. However, the best talent on the defensive side of the ball is at the linebacker spot were Ray Michael return. Michael is a tackling machine and will do plenty to help out the secondary. But with seven starters returning on defense will this make them better ?? I believe so!
I'm looking at a 20 to 17 type victory.
