Coot defense...

Are their 24 TO's a reflection of how dominate their D is or are the teams that they have played that pitiful?

15 turnovers from UMass, Western Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri. The offense has to pull it together and hold on to the ball. It's that simple.

I think East Carolina had four turnovers in the red zone. Their quarterback was just too anxious to finish the plays.

Eh. Product of the teams they've played.
Wake Forest TECHNICALLY has a better defense than Carolina.

I think their defense has been playing better...

as the season progressed (most other teams should as well). Plus, the coots have a lot of senior leadership on defense, so I would expect them to be stronger on that side of the ball. I don't think anyone could honestly argue that Muschamp has not had tough defenses wherever he has been.
The key to our play against their defense will be the following in order of priority:
1) Success running the ball (including Watson)
2) No dropped passes on key 3rd downs
3) No turnovers

They actually regressed a little since the offense has gotten better.
Two sided story as WCU was the first team to put 30+ points on their defense, but they've also played a lot of statistically PUTRID offenses (Vandy, UK, MissSt)
They will play tough because they want to gauge their level of program progress. Earlier this year, there were NO gamecock fans or alumni who even cared about this team, much less thought they had a chance at beating Clemson in DV.
Also, a 2-8 fcs Western Carolina team put up over 250 yards rushing on the coots. If we don't have a similar or more rushing performance, I will be highly surprised.

I think the guys come out hangry for some chicken  I do agree that the game will only be close if we turn the ball over. On the flip side though, DW did say he would not lose to Scar so I am very confident he will keep his word. We got this.
