Game Thread: USC vs. Gamecocks (bye week)

[24seven]

Odds makers will call it a toss-up, but the Gamecocks have no one who can consistently toss it up accurately, so I can't reasonably expect a win this weekend even if it's an even match-up.
I think the best we can hope for is to escape with no injuries or suspensions. Worst thing would be a crazy shootout, which could happen given the emotional pain of this season so far.
Fan frustration could also have a negative impact on the home team (USC), as it is highly likely that the stadium will be practically empty.
Still, this could be one of our best weeks of the season on the field if we can just relax and not make any mistakes.
No kickoff time has been announced.

So far, so good. Though we haven't scored yet, the Gamecocks are yet to give up a first down on defense.

Still 0-0? What's going on here 24/7?

Neither side has been able to get the passing game going, but at least we haven't turned it over yet. With the lackluster play so far I think it's going to come down to what coach is the trickiest.

Interesting, very interesting...Thus far no trick plays have been run, wonder which team will try one first

We need to try out our backup RBs. The starters are not getting anything done.

The passing game hasn't produced anything either

I know, right? This is ridiculous! Thank God we play another nobody (UMass) next week!

On the bright side your defense still has allowed no points

True, I just think it's more because the offense is getting nowhere.
Hey team, wake up! This isn't a "safe zone," YOU CAN BE OFFENSIVE! DO IT!!

Looks like this one might go into overtime.
