OK fellas. I know you all have been waiting on Ole Spud's

Orange Colored Glasses analysis of the upcoming beat down of South Carolina. So, here it is. Looking at all of our games,as I sit here halfway watching The Voice, with Mrs. Spud soundly asleep on the couch, I have gathered this much from my sources.

1. In our 12 games this year, we have held about 8 of them to their lowest output of the year on offense. And a couple more were their second lowest.

2. Only one team gained more yards than their season average. And we all know that was an anomaly.
3. We held these teams to an average of about 125 yards less than their season average.(If you take out our game in their average, I bet it would be more like 150.00 per game)
4. The Coots only convert on 3rd down .401 percent of the time(63rd in the country)
5. Our defense holds the opponent on 3rd down .32 percent of the time(21st in the country)
6. The Coots defense holds the opponent on 3rd down .42 percent of the time(95th in the country)
7. 5 of the teams the coots played in the SEC had offenses ranked 100 or worse.
8. The Coot defense is ranked behind Virginia Tech,Duke,Georgia Tech,Florida St., and Virginia.
9. The Coot offense is ranked behind...well, ### near everybody.

We are averaging 35 pts. a game and have scored at least 24 in every game but Auburn. Kelly's first start on the road. I fully expect us to score 30 or more. I just don't see the Coots scoring over 15 points. Unless they get a fumble return or pick six which I don't think is very likely, I think they put about 10 on the board. The best team they have beaten is NC State and that, in my and nearly every reasonable person's opinion, was a fluke. Opening KO for a TD by Deebo( ooops, they don't have Deebo), NC State fumble of KO on their own 12,etc.etc.

I think we run for 200 plus and throw for about 200 more. Unless we fumble this game away, I don't see the Coots with over 250 yards offense.

I realize our stats are much better, but the game ain't played on paper, it's played on the the field. I have witnessed around 60 of these games and have seen some strange things happen. We can not expect to win by just showing up.

We can win, but here's what I think it will take:

1. Proper mental attitude
2. Forget last year
3. Do not let them feed off of their crowd early
4. Establish, gain and maintain control of the line of scrimmage early in the game
5. Be prepared for every gimmick possible
6. Be prepared for cheap shots and in your face trash talk/do not retaliate
7. Use our strengths to exploit their weaknesses
8. Play loose but not stupid
9. Remember this is the first game of a four game season to make it back to the championship

10. Tigers win 35-13
