For South Carolina?
I keep seeing posts with next year's predictions where we beat them?
They are gonna be strong in 2013
Its probably due to our inability to forget how mediocre they used to be, combined wirh our outstanding relationship with Darth Visor, and furthermore in the words of Spurrier, 'They are Tennessee. They arent afraid of anyone'.
Also, like with any fanbase, sometimes the most dillusional ones are also the most outspoken ones.
UT was very much in the game last year in Columbia and would have won the game if not for a late play made by Clowney. I think we win in Knoxville this year, but I won't be surprised if UT beats us. I'm scared to death of that game.
Suck up!
J/K. UT was in the game last year with a very good chance down the stretch.
UT plays S. Carolina before Bama this year. That could be a plus for UT.
UT was in most of the games last year, even against ranked opponents; Beating Florida into the 3rd quarter and tied with Bama at half (if I remember correctly). The problem was they were terribly coached and Dooley kept forgetting there are 4 quarters to a football game and not 2. Dooley also didn't understand the whole "use timeouts wisely" concept..ie actually use them.
Probly a mix of how close the game was last year and the fact that SC doesn't really seem to have a high powered offensive weapon heading into fall camp.
Aside from clowney who are the play makers on that defense this year, didn't they graduate a few solid players as well?
