This is a 10* SUPER TOTAL on the OVER between South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Setting the scene: South Carolina will be looking for a much better result than its 3-9 season in 2015/16, a campaign remembered for longtime head coach Steve Spurrier stepping down halfway through. Vanderbilt wasn't much better in finishing at 4-8 overall, a one game improvement over its 2014 campaign. This is an important conference game for two teams that are hungry to prove themselves. We're expecting each to push the pace on the offensive end and ultimately feel that this number is just a little low.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks closed last season with five straight losses and setbacks in six of their last seven. The glaring weakness was on offense as the team was 110th in the nation in scoring with 21.9 points per game. The defense allowed 27.5 points. There has been a big turnover on both lines, but the expected starting QB will be Perry Orth, who completed 143 of 261 passes for 1,929 yards with 12 touchdowns last year.
Vanderbilt: The focus in the offseason has been on the offensive end as the team finished just 113th in the nation in passing with 171.8 yards per game. QB Kyle Shurmur started five games last season and he'll get the call under center to open the 2016/17 campaign. He completed 44 of 103 passes for 503 yards and five TD's. The offense will once again be leaning on RB Ralph Webb, who ran 277 times for 1,152 yards and five major scores. The defense was decent, allowing just 21 points per game.
The bottom line: South Carolina beat Vanderbilt 19-10 last October, but all signs point to more of a shootout than a chessmatch this time around. The Commodores passing game is expected to be much better with a trio of capable receivers in Trent Sherfield, Caleb Scott and CJ Duncan. Expectations are high, but tempered at the same time for each side. That said, as mentioned above this is an important conference game and as such, we're expecting these teams to push the pace from the outset and look for this one to blast past the number once it's all said and done. Play the OVER.
