Heels had 4 three & outs; cocks had 3USC will smother your offense and cause a lot of 3 and outs for the young QB and will make it difficult to overcome late in the game.
Heels had 5 drives of 50+ yards; cocks had 2 (their first two, BTW)
Heels had 483 total yards; cocks had 270 (half of them came on the first two drives)
Heels young QB went 8-10 late in the game for 156 yards, 2 TDs, and 5 first downs; Cocks old QB threw 2 picks late in the game, and overthrew an open receiver for a likely score.
Heels had 3 sacks; cocks had 3 sackstheir DL is as deep as anyones in the SEC East this season.
Heels had 7 TFL; cocks had 6

... good luck the rest of the way
Heels had 245 yards passing; cocks had 142The Gamecock passing game will be fresh and should have a hay day against the make-shift Tar Heel defense.
Heels had 2 passing TDs; cocks had 1
Heels had 0 interceptions; cocks had 2
Heels averaged 10.2 yds/pass; cocks averaged 4.7
... better check again; sounds like your passing game is kinda stale to me
Shi Smith had 5 receptions for 55 yards - good game, but not exactly nightmarish.Guys like Shi Smith, Bryan Edwards, Ortre Smith, Mon Denson and Tavian Feaster are match up nightmares for UNC.
The other 4 dudes you mentioned had a combined 3 catches for 18 yards; sounds like you will be the one having the bad dreams.
Heels were the superior team by stats, score, eyeball test. After those first two series, the Heels pretty much dominated the game (other than our kick return team).By talent this game shouldn't be close, but sometimes Will Muschamp's teams do not do what they should against inferior opponents.
wow... I didn't think you could be more wrong than all your previous comments, but congrats on topping yourself.I pick the Gamecocks in this one though vs a young and hungry Tar Heel squad by a score of 45-13.
