South Carolina v. Vanderbilt

What exactly has South Carolina done the last two seasons when they woulda coulda shoulda gotten a win against Vandy? Just take a look to the left for a visual answer to that question.

Granted in the past Vandy has been a pretty formidable opponent. However, this year things have started to swing in the other direction for both teams. South Carolina actually looks like they have the talent to compete with the better teams in the nation. Vandy, on the other hand, has been on a bit of a backslide. All that being said, Vandy is not to be taken lightly. A couple of big plays or sloppy plays can change both teams' seasons in a hurry.

South Carolina starting corner back, Auguste will be back on the field after a 3 game suspension. That coupled with another week for the young players to mature (hopefully...after all maturity is not something that abounds in that locker room lately) and learn should make the Gamecocks prepared to right the wrongs of the last two years against Vandy. This one is a night game in Columbia, so you know the fine establishments in the Vista and Five Points are rooting for a happy fan base to leave the stadium (perhaps early if the Gamecocks have a heafty lead late) to fill their bar stools. Go Cocks.
