You know the most annoying thing about being in the "other" Columbia? Having to listen to the talking heads claim that Mizzou isn't really all that tough and it is one of the "winnable" road games for the Gamecocks.

I guess they are basing that on history?

Actually most of their talk this week is based on "history"...they believe they have a chance in GA because they have given the Bulldogs fits before (mostly at home)....

Well it's true. Mizzou really isn't tough right now.

And you think the Gamecocks are?

They aren't either, but it's still a winnable game and it's not like they are facing an Arrowhead crowd.

I guess I disagree.....they are playing with their 2nd String QB who was, up until this year a walk-on. The back-up is an untested rookie I would compare to Joshua Dobbs his freshman year....potential but unproven.

Their best WR, Pharoah Cooper, is hurt (but still playing) and tries to do too much. The rest of their WR group is just like MU's and maybe even greener.

I would say their RB trio is maybe a little better than ours but that is only because Hansborough is hurt. Their TE and ours are a wash.

Their Defensive front 4 is nothing to write home about....and besides Skai Moore their LB's aren't that good. Their DB's are OK, not bad.

Who knows what their mindset will be by the time we play them...they play Georgia between the Hedges this week and then go home to play UCF.

The one edge I give them without reservation.....their Coach is much craftier than ours. Our Coach sometimes gets conservative protecting a lead while The Ol' Ball Coach can sometimes pull a rabbit out of the hat just to keep you on your toes.....and has absolutely no trouble putting his foot on your throat.

I'm not really arguing on which team is better. It's a winnable game for both sides.

They both have a lot of question marks by this point and it could really go either way. Missouri isn't on a higher plateau than South Carolina right now.

We can't pass block and our best RB is our QB currently. We also wish we were playing the 2nd QB.

Outside of Vandy, I wouldn't call one conference game a slam dunk this year. As of now at least.

Wrong thread.

Anyone who thinks that we aren't a winnable game on South Carolina's schedule has WAY more confidence in this squad than I do. We should win, but it's about a 60/40 in my eyes.

And Spurrier is a terrible coach at this point in his career. He reallyneeds to hang it up.

Agree with all of this. Missouri is, clearly, beatable. Yet, I still think Mizzou beats USCe.

He's supposed to play tomorrow, so it must not have been too bad.

What the actual ****? Car accidents are going to take out our entire D-line.
