S. CAROLINA +17 vs TENNESSEE @ Knoxville


First off I want to say this line is inflated due to The Vols big Win vs Florida in The Swamp this past weekend!
Ok, that upset win in itself sets The Vols up for a Big Letdown! Yes SC is Undermanned & will be playing in a very hostile environment, but Holtz will have this Gamecock team ready. The Value in this game clearly is with The Cocks due to quite a few reasons. First off, The Vols are very Overrated. Yes they beat Florida in The Swamp, but The Gators have not been the same team since Spurrier skipped town. The Vols also have Auburn--GA--BAMA on deck. The COCKS just beat lowly UAB in a "tune-up" Game! And another plus is The GameCocks have a Bye after this Tennessee game. Lou's D has been great vs The Vol's Offense....holding The Vols to 17-17-24 the past 3 years! Plus the visitor in this series is 5-1 vs the spread the past 6 years! The Vols are 2-11 as Double Digit favorites after a straight up underdog
win. But I feel like the key to this game will be my Hometown Hero from Lexington, SC....Freshman RB Demetris Summers ....He is the real deal! He had 161 Yards and 3 TDS in the 1st half vs UAB last week in the only game he has had any real playing time! This guy is, well..."THE SHIT!" People always talked about UHHH..what's his name Clarett from Ohio St...HA..tune in to ESPN @ 7:45PM Saturday night and watch what Summers can due! Summers tied Emmitt Smith National High School Record for 100 yard games back at Lexington High School, just last year! I happen to know Demetris personally. I've played some pick-up basketball with him a few times on Sunday afternoons. I haven't seen him since the season started, but this kid has his head on straight & you will see him on The Heisman Ballot if he hangs around CFB long enough. You will see him on Sundays that's for sure!
Look for a very close game Saturday
Due to all of the above factors..but mainly....
--A TENNESSEE LETDOWN!
--GOOD SC DEFENSE!
--AND DEMETRIS SUMMERS!


Depending on how my two plays do on saturday, I might lay some $ on this one...

SORRY TAOIST

My only concern is that it a VERY BIG public dog...
Might just want to look at the under.

Not trying to pour mouth, but I just don't see how we score in this game. Our QB, Dondrial Pinkins, is average at best, so all UT has to do is stack the line and make him thow, which will not be pretty. If we do try to run our best chance will be with super frosh Demetris "Meat" Summers (keep an eye on him). Meat broke Emmitt Smith's HS rushing record for TDs and was considered by many to be the #1 HS running back in the nation last year. That being said, if UF can't run for 80 yards AT HOME against UT, how the hell are we going to do it at UT?

Our FG kicker was like 1 for 7 going into last week before missing his only attempt from within 30 yards, now making him 1-8. Our PUNTER is going to kick FGs this week. I'm telling you, I just don't see how we score. Granted, our defense should play tough, and we've kept it close with UT the last two years, but this game could be ugly. Not trying to scare anyone off of S. Carolina, just be careful. I think our one saving grace is that NO ONE is expecting us to compete.
