Hello college football and hello South Carolina football.
We are so happy you have returned as we are very much ready for some Gamecocks football.
USC will head to Nashville tonight to play Vanderbilt.
Here is a quick round-up of some of our recent blog posts to give you a sense of our thoughts on this game:

So what are the five keys to a USC win tonight? Well…
1. USC must establish the running game early.
2. USC must get pressure front the defensive line on the inside as the Vandy O-line will attempt to keep Clowney and Taylor at bay.
3. USC needs a wide out to step up. Looking at you Ace Sanders, Shaq Roland and/or a tight end.
4. USC’s secondary can not give up big plays on third down.
5. Focus. USC you are the No. 9 team. Take care of business and act like a No. 9 team.
Finally, Go Cocks! Beat Vandy!
