Twilite Zone 2013

[ZenUSC]

Next season we play all three SEC teams which just hired new head coaches: Kentucky, tennessee and then Arkansas. If that isn't weird enough it gets weirder(more weird). We play them consecutively! Is that an unrecorded NCAA record? This will be three tough preperations in a row for Gamecock coaches. How to prepare?

How to prepare? By watching game film...

The coaches will prepare by watching film not only of the current teams these people coach, but their previous schools as well. Honestly, it won't really be much different than the preparation for other games.

We switch to the Roy D. Mercer preparation plan where we just throw the normal stuff out the window, and just load up a 55 gallon barrel of ass-whipping to pour all over them.

Well I hope we give all three of those new SEC coaches a loss.

Don't forget about Auburn. It's annoying that they don't rotate onto our schedule when they are down.

We play them all later in the season, there will be plenty of film on them in their new situation by the time we face them.

[Jdallen20]

I see this as an advantage for us.

Our schedule is very favorable next year.

UNC - We should be able to take care of them relatively easily next year. One factor for them is a lack of depth. The probation they have been under, combined with a recent coaching change last year, and recruiting sanctions really weakens their depth, although early in the season, this is not a huge issue. If this is a Thursday game like it was supposed to be, then that would be huge to give us a long week before UGA, with them having a "big" game against the Taters before we play them.

@UGA - They have to replace almost their entire defense. Our offense should be able to score. Plus, I think we are in their heads a little bit now. Particularly Clowney.

Vandy - This will be the toughest game early in the season, coming off the UGA game. At home helps us big time.

Bye
@UCF - Hopefully not a trap game. Them being Big East next year helps our Strength of Schedule. Place will be a hornets nest though. They will be jacked up for us.

UK - Just don't choke. New coach, should have film on them by now.

@Arky - Same thing. They always play us tough, but Bielema doesn't have the personnel to fit his system yet.

@UT - See Arky. They don't have the upper class talent because Dooley never had time to recruit past the sophomore class.

@Mizzou - They lose their QB and best Defensive player. Just gotta survive the grind of three straight road games

Miss St - They will play us tough. They will be physical, but being at home should help. Our guys will be happy to be back in front of the home crowd.

Bye
UF - Thank god we have a bye week before this game! They will be coming off an emotional and physical stretch of UGA and Vandy. At home and well rested, we should be able to get our revenge.

CCU - Deceptive team in the 1AA tournament this year. Just get through this in one piece

Taters - Home game. Our defense against their ACC offense (second real D they play this year, a fresh UGA team being the first). Our offense against their weak ACC defense. Let's get 5 in a row!

Anything less than 11-1 will be a disappointment in my eyes. 12-0 is very possible, and UGA and UF both have to play LSU this year, which means...

SEC Title game - Either against Texas A&M or Bama (Both have the easy West schedule. Bama crossovers are UT and UK. A&M gets Mizzou and Vandy). These would both be great matchups.
