South Carolina

We'll see how that goes.

But OU and South Carolina are both two, three loss teams who are coming off some of their best performances of the year.

I was super impressed with the OU offense against Mississippi State.

The 23-15 score was not indicative of how well the OU offense played the entire game.

Dylan Stewart made the play of the game, the strip sack to win the game after Lenora Sellers made the offensive play of the game with his rush into the end zone in the right quarter of the end zone to reach over the goal line and beat a Tennessee team that had just dismantled, no fluke, Alabama.

So both of these teams looking very good.

Now, as far as the point spread... don't know man I think this is going to be a really close game I like oh you to win by three which means I like South Carolina plus the points uh five and a half is is quite a lot of points for for just the consistent the lack of consistency that we've seen from this OU offense and how good the South Carolina offense has looked the last couple weeks um so I'm gonna pick OU to win the game but I'm gonna pick South Carolina to cover the spread in this one but South Carolina listen they're talented.

They went into the swamp and dropped 38 points.

I think our D-line has this in the back.

I do think it's an advantage for South Carolina on paper heading into the game.

And then he goes on to say it's absolutely wild.

Dylan Stewart has seven tackles, two sacks, and three forced fumbles.

I think they spied him last time.

They may spy him today.

If they do, I think South Carolina is better equipped than they were last season to make teams pay.

So that's kind of all that.

Their schedule is interesting because they just have Florida, Ole Miss, and Mizzou.

But I think that South Carolina game just before Thanksgiving is the sneaky one I'm kind of watching because the Gamecocks have been a little frisky this year.

Does Georgia get in with three losses if it's to Ole Miss and South Carolina? I don't think they're going to lose both those games.

But in a hypothetical world where they drop both of those games...

Oh, I don't

I'm trying to preach to our guys because if you look at our schedule, we're playing seven power fives.

First three is you guys, Texas, and then South Carolina.

The last three going into league play is Wake Forest, Georgia, Kentucky.

I did that for a purpose.

We've beaten Nebraska.

So we've gone into these games.

We've played South Carolina twice to the wire.

We beat Clemson.

Yeah.

And again, South Carolina is one of these teams that...

They have a moment every couple years where they're dangerous.

Not dangerous enough to win the SEC because Alabama and Georgia still can just buy whoever they want the week before.

Normally we want to jump on a team like Iowa in this spot.

But before South Carolina last week, who I was fortunate enough to be on against Tennessee last, Unranked home favorites like Iowa hosting a top 25 team had been 0-5 straight up and against the spread.

So there is a little trepidation.

And I know Yanni was talking about the Oregon-Northwestern game.

I think they keep that one rolling and I think they win by two touchdowns.

South Carolina, a hot team right now, heads to OU, which is completely unpredictable from week to week.

It feels like both these teams have kind of figured something out, right? I mean, we saw South Carolina stop shooting themselves in the foot.

They've won two in a row, including two big ballgames over ranked opponents at Florida and then home against Tennessee.

And then last week, OU comes out and all of a sudden has this explosive offense.

I think a lot of it had to do with Michael Fasuzzi, the left tackle being back in the lineup.

They only gave up one sack, and certainly, you know, you look at John Mateer, he looked much more comfortable and confident with that offensive line that was playing better.

On the other side, South Carolina...

Not big on John Mateer.

Like what South Carolina's got cooking.

I'm going to take the Gamecocks.

They're plus three and a half.

They are on the road, but this feels like an avenue where you can cover even without South Carolina winning outright, which is sort of how I handled some of my wins last week, like Packers, Lions, et cetera.

So give me South Carolina here, plus three and a half.

Yeah, I like that pick.

I mean, they can lose by a field goal and still cover, so that's a good pick.
