4. South Carolina – Dylan Thompson
The gap between Georgia and South Carolina for the No. 1 spot in Athlon’s projected East standings is very small. The Bulldogs have a slight edge over the Gamecocks, but South Carolina still ranks as a top-10 team for 2014. Connor Shaw capped a solid career in Columbia with 2,447 passing yards and 24 touchdowns last year. Thompson is no stranger to the starting lineup, as he made one start in relief of Shaw in 2013 and two in 2012. The South Carolina native is 3-0 as a starter and has tossed 14 touchdowns over the last two years. Although Thompson tossed nearly as many interceptions (three) as touchdowns (four) last year, his career average on completions is a healthy 15.3 yards. The Gamecocks have one of the SEC’s top offensive lines, along with an all-conference running back in Mike Davis. Thompson needs to be more efficient as a passer (55 career completion percentage), but all signs point to a big senior year under coach Steve Spurrier.

Nice writeup .. Also cool to see Tanner McEvoy on there.

Agreed with Dylan

Like he said they could be a surprise, Im not writing off Mizzou. Matty Mauk was great stepping in. Their defense will be good again. Inexperienced corners but a lot of teams have that this year. I think they could surprise some people

I was reading an article where someone was projecting Bama's qb Coker as a heisman contender. I mean really.

Anyone who plays for Alabama is an automatic Heisman contender.

I expect a different but still very effective style of QB play this season.

Whats pretty cool is how many times USC has something connected to it in that article. What i mean is how many times it mentions us when talking about other teams. And also the times it doesnt.

Tanner, and the quarterback that hes going aganst. Said hes returning from a shoulder injury. Which victor hampton gave him.

I think the Georgia game will define just how good our offense is and how good our defense will be at stopping the run. The Mizzou game will define the defense as a whole with an experienced QB and balanced offense.

Yeah, he was actually a pretty decent safety last year too.

DT could have a huge year. He like to go long and he has a line and speedsters. Fun N Gun?
