I am happy to hear that our defense is not satisfied with their performance against Oklahoma State. I actually was pretty happy with it considering that we only allowed 307 yards against an offense that was ranked 9th in the nation last year and returned all their top play makers. 24 points does seem like a lot of points but they were held to 24 points or less just twice last year and averaged 40 points for the year.
Next up we have South Carolina who had only 256 yards total offense against North Carolina State and only scored 7 points. The Gamecocks averaged only 20 points a game last year. I do not see why we can not hold them to 3 points or less. Our defense will only get better every game. Brian Evans has been reviewing film all week and is very confident that they will be able to force more turnovers against the gamecocks, as he saw a few missed opportunities against OSU.
As all Dawg fans know this has turned into a more heated rivalry over the past few years especially since the Ole Ball Coach came back to SEC. If the Dawgs can score 10 points we will win this game. We have Caleb King back in the rotation for the running game. Losing Trinton Sturdivant again will be a blow but the Dawgs are deep when it comes to the O-line. The only thing I am worried is our QB situation. The rumors coming out of Athens about Cox and his shoulder have me a little worried. Sometimes that is all it is, just a rumor but then again there is usually a little truth behind all rumors.

You're right about this being a defensive game. In the past 3 meetings between the UGA and SC, there have been a total of 4 touchdowns scored ( 2 being from each team). Spurrier is stating he is going to try and play less conservative and open up his offense. We'll see how that goes.
