The SEC East and a Quarterback Controversy
2. The Gamecocks now face a stretch of games against Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee in which they’ll likely be in the unfamiliar territory of being relatively sizeable favorites. Which of these games presents the biggest challenge and risk of a potential upset for the Gamecocks?
It would be easy to say Kentucky here and have everyone go, “But did you say that before the loss to Kentucky?” Kind of. I said in the Team Speed Kills preview of this game that: “Any South Carolina fan with any sense ought to be scared of this game.” It’s hard to defeat any team 11 times in a row — and I would say “save Vanderbilt,” but I would prefer to wait until we’ve actually defeated Vanderbilt 11 times in a row. If you were to narrow the choice down to Vanderbilt and Tennessee, I’d go with Tennessee simply because what talent remains is probably still better than Vanderbilt’s, and the Vols are more than likely going to ruin someone’s season before it’s over with.
