I don't think South Carolina has been favored in a single game this year except against Old Dominion in the season opener. On one hand, you look at the schedule and you understand why. On the other hand you look at what they did to Oklahoma and Kentucky on the road (both of whom were favored) and the level of disrespect this year for the STILL unranked Gamecocks has been monumental.
@@theonlykog Oh yeah, true. I felt like I was forgetting someone but didn't bother to check the schedule. So okay, I take it back We got tons of respect...favored against Akron! ;) Definitely not favored in a single SEC game until this one coming up.
@@tonylanford1208 I think they were 2 1/2 point dogs to Oklahoma, primarily because it was a road game and we heard how vaunted the Oklahoma defense really was all week.
South Carolina has the 4th hardest schedule in the country and only one significant loss. Why exactly does SMU get to be ranked and South Carolina doesn't? It's madness.
Gamecocks will get after it on Saturday. They going to Nashville knowing they were disrespected by the AP poll and will prove it on the field. Sucks to be Vandy.
They haven’t seen a defense like ours yet. We just gotta make sure Diego is uncomfortable all game long and not make any mistakes on offense. Those guys are no joke this year
@@Andrew-md6gh Auburn is about the closest, but the DL and Edges aren't quite as good, and I would say our LBs and CBs are a tough better sa well. Should be a fun one, especially if the defense plays like it did against TAMU
If Vandy & Diego Pavia can handle that S Carolina defensive front, they will have earned my total respect. But Carolina seems to be a team who's trending upwards fast. I think they take this one convincingly. Their only potential trap will be if they're still celebrating last week's win over A&M.
I believe the edge for SC comes from being able to get vandy into long 3rd downs throughout the game preventing them from taking the absusive possesion time they have had. I'll call turnovers even. Vandy has got some smart play, and ways to prevent ends from demolishing. I also think SC has improved on ball security assuming we arent playing 2 scores down. Sc has been great overall on stopping versatile QBs but gives up big plays, which is not a vandy strong point. You mentioned vandy being great on special teams, i think we'll see both sides challenge that ;). I can't head to Nashville this year but i have the past 3 times we've headed there and i absolutely love that place. Glad vandy is getting their shine! Just as I'm glad we are! I have a feeling this game will attract a LOT of views this week
Two interesting points when vandy has the ball and the offense they run. Vanderbilt cant block the ends most likely, but since they option the ends with the offense they dont have to block them all the time. Freshman edge has to play disciplined. However, sc has two senior lb and that would be a strenght given the misdirection vandy likes to run. Discipline will be key and interesting to watch. If the defense stops vandys offense then its a comfortable win for sc. If not, then its likely not a good matchup as vandy has played some solid defense this year. I like sc but its been a wierd year so who knows
We have a Tonka Truck in the middle... they wont be able to run on us except maybe a couple big ones.. Pavia is going to have large grass stain on his back. This analysis sounds a lot like what everyone was saying last week about A&M except they were picking A&M. I dont think it will be close at all. We took care of Kentucky and Oklahoma on the road and almost took care of Bama. If you noticed Saturday night the Gamecocks were really practicing ball security vs the earlier games. My favorite play was when Sellers was running for the first down and that poor DB got in his way.
@curlyqv2467 agreed. However vandy runs a different style of offense. The option type offenses often don't block the ends of the line of scrimmage at all. They read them. That's my point. Counterpoint, is that Stewart is a problem. He is a freakish athlete and has the ability, at times, to use that to play both qb and pitch. If he plays with eye discipline I think vandy is in trouble. Have to wait and see
USC has already been tested on the road but life is never easy in the SEC especially on the road and Vandy is much improved and solid team! If USC wins it would be another solid top 25 win! Do not overlook them and have an injury free clean game. Let’s go Gamecocks
It will be a good game ! One never knows but I don’t think either team is passing this one by as a give me ! As a South Carolinian I always support our State teams ! Go Gamecocks !
So funny watching the entire comment section say SC is gonna roll Vandy... Against good teams we have beat expectations every single time this season, usually by 14+ points.
S.C. has proven they are unable to play great consistently. That’s why they are not ranked and I agree. Once they start winning multiple games in a row and play like they did against TA&M all the time myself and the rest of the country will have more faith in them. As of now Shane Beamer has proven to be inconsistent he will have his team unprepared one week and they get blown out by a team that isn’t that good then the next week SC will beat the crap out of a highly ranked team. It’s pretty sad that a team that recruits in the top 25 every year is only a three point favorite against Vandy. If we go based on talent I would say S.C. beats Vandy 48 to 3. However since we know that Shane will not have his team ready to play this game because they typically don’t win more than two games in a row Vandy will win 28 to 24.
Everybody cracking on the Commodores. I say take Vandy and the points and you'll make the Vegas people look ridiculous. So you gamecocks want to pound your chests like Tarzan and talk big now? You're going down in Nashville. Go Vandy and long live the Charlie Brown all stars

Akron...they were favorite at Akron.

They actually were favored at Oklahoma.
@@tonylanford1208 I think they were 2 1/2 point dogs to Oklahoma, primarily because it was a road game and we heard how vaunted the Oklahoma defense really was all week.
@@GodLovesComicsit got bet up to South Carolina being favored by -2.5

There’s a chance they’ll be ranked tonight in the CFP poll… in that case, maybe they feel less disrespected?
Man, we should be 7-1. It's a shame we couldn't scratch a W against either LSU or Bama....we would be having legit playoff conversations. 😢
You could easily say the same about vandy with Georgia st and Missouri. Huge game for both teams
You can't compare LSU and Bama to mizz and yellow jackets @Hambugla
@@davidblumejr3538 Well you can compare Bama to Bama and Vandy beat them while SC couldn't sooooo.
@@aplatinumorange5112 Saturday will tell the tale ... numbers don't lie
Like I've said before, one stop on defense against LSU and make a FG against Bama and they're in playoff contention
Gamecocks going to lay some wood in Vandy

The key, sellers stopped throwing interceptions and fumbling. He is a good runner
Now tell me why we are favored over them yet they are ranked and we’re not.
EXACTLY!!!
The computers don’t like Vandy

Marcel Reed also loves to run, and he was almost shut down. But, Pavia is a better thrower. Should be fun

It would be interesting to see the numbers from just the past 2 or three games… USC has been so much better after the Ole Miss game.

SC is also 5-2 against the spread this year.

Cats out of the bag Vandy. We get it you have a good team this year, so hopefully my Gamecocks aren't looking past you.
Vandy wins this one. Will be a close one though.
Nope

GO COCKS
Everyone has been underestimating Vandy all year. There's something about them tho. This game could go either way.
SC is Allowing 19 points per game on Defense

@hardcorelevelingwarrior6324 South Carolina will own Vandy as usual
@@erniecapell9917 keep dreaming bud, Pavia’s gotten flatten your team
Carolina won this game 47-6 last year with a worse team. Once Beamer has your number, the games over. 40-13 COCKS

Ashford is certainly capable, ask Akron and LSU

SC has only been blown out by Ole Miss this year. Otherwise it's a win or a ranked loss by a max of 3 points...
Wrong
I find it funny u dont think vandy kicks a fg
23-16 ass kicking chickens
