They actually may.
UGA loses a ton on both sides of the ball.
So would it shock me if the Gamecocks beat 'em? Not really. They get UGA Week 2 at home...that's about as favorable a matchup as they could ask for. Keep in mind the Gamecocks have had a pretty good starting 11 the past couple seasons, their real problem is that Champ never plays his backups and by the end of the year his guys haven't seemed to have much left in the tank, especially for Clemson. But they should still be pretty durn healthy by the time UGA gets into town.
If UGA comes out clunky - and their O looked plenty clunky at times the past couple seasons, and this was with Chubb and Michel, who are now gone - and Carolina could bite 'em. Especially since UGA loses all four starting LB's and that was by a bunch the strength of that D...they also lose 2 of 3 from their DL and that's 6 of 7 from their front 7. They will NOT be the same team, especially in Week 2. I think Carolina will move the ball, and pretty effectively.
As a matter of fact, the more I eyeball this matchup, the more I am starting to think Carolina actually takes this one...sorry, normally I am never on the Gamecock bandwagon, on this one I think the Dawgs could actually be in some trouble.

You make a good point but the coots lose the majority of their d line (although wasn't good) and do everything Skai Moore, that held the UGA run game down. Swift is coming back and is going to be the feature back for them. And knowing UGA, their run game will stay good. They should also just out talent the coots at every position except maybe WR. This comes to my 2nd point. Who knows how Deebo is gonna respond to his previous injury. If he comes back just like last year, I could see forehead and Deebo doing damage to UGA here. It's really a 50/50 game that nobody will really know about till after week 1.

Almost worth all the #### clucking until they lose to Missouri or Kentucky or something like that.

... pressure Fromm?
Just don't see their undersized and inexperienced defense putting a lot of pressure on UGA.

The only way UGA would be in trouble for this game is if Mark Richt were coaching the Dawgs and Steve Spurrier was HC at South Carolina. SC has about as much chance of beating Georgia as they do beating Clemson, very little. UGA will hand SC another double digit loss.

I'll say what I said to them about us last year. If SCar was to have any chance to end the current streak, last year was the year. We had a good but not great QB in his first year with our go-to back and best receiver gone. I based this on what was in the pipeline. It was now or never for them and it looks like it came up never.
Same goes for UGA this year- in not now then when? Now that UGA has a head coach with true SEC scruples, they're just a couple seasons away from trotting out an all 5* team.
And SCar should be a pretty solid team for some time to come. A lot of good players that SCAr, UGA and Clemson used to fight over are all falling to SCar because 1) the region is pretty rich in talent 2) UGA and CU have moved on to great talent and particularly with us it's coming from outside the footprint and 3) we refuse to over-sign and winnow out each class. In fact, if you look at all the schollies Dabo gives to walk-ons every year, we probably under-sign when we could have been playing keep-away with a couple of their better wide-outs.
The result is that they do have some play-makers and a puncher's chance in most games they'll play.

They're headed for a 7-5 season. Losses to UGA, Clemson, Texas A&M, Florida and one more between Mizzou, KY, or Ole Miss.

What a suprise

Those two big goals being to win the SEC East and beat Clemson. “That’s what we’re going to try to do this year,” Bentley said.
Seems thats what you have been trying the last 4 years

Bentley's goal this year should be to have a QBR in the double digits. #NeverEverAgain

Bentley will be 0-3 after this season in the rivalry.

So much pressure not to be the first 0-4 QB in the rivalry.
I think he will implode from that pressure.

Great news out of coot spring practice fellow tigers!

“From Jake Bentley’s perspective things are looking good.” This is the same kid who thinks our national champion tiger team that beat them 56-7 is not that much better than his coots if at all. Their failure will be fun to watch.
“The SEC is as unimpressive top to bottom as it has been in a long time.” WOW That’s really saying something considering what we have seen the last few years.
