South Carolina Gamecocks

Steve Spurrier has his swagger back. The Gamecocks are led by senior All SEC linebacker Jasper Brinkley. After leading the team in tackles a year ago her looks to lead the team to a SEC championship. He is lining up beside his twin brother Casper who moved from end to play backer. Casper led the team in sacks last year, and looks to be a force at backer. Sophomore Rodney Paulk also returns to his starting role at backer. Corner Carlos Thomas will lead the backfield as the only returning starter. Captain Munnerlyn will lay claim to the other corner spot. Free safety Brandon Issac and strong safety Emmanuel Cook look to reek havoc on opposing offenses. The d-line is led by Nathan Pepper. The other spots upfront are being claimed by freshman. Travian Robertson, Clifton Geathers, and Ladi Ajiboye are looking to dominate as young stars in Columbia.

Spurrier's pass-oriented offense looks to senior Blake Mitchell for the path to victory. Mitchell threw for 1,700 yards last season while sharing the starting duties. Gone is Sidney Rice and Kenny McKinley steps in. His 800 yards from last year lead the team . They need others to step up for more options in the field. Tight end is a popular position in Spurrier's offense. Senior Andy Boyd is returning for his last year in Columbia. Running back Cory Boyd is back and looks to continue being a threat to defenses across the nation. He contributes in both the running and passing game as an excellent threat out of the backfield. Mike Davis is willing to play when needed as a former starter. The front line is flankered by tackels, Justin Sorensen and Jamon Meredith. Guards Garrett Anderson and James Thompson looks to claim the starting spots when the season begins. William Brown moves from guard to center, to start the year.

South Carolina goes to Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Meanwhile the Gamecocks welcome Florida and Clemson to end the season.
