I will tell you guys this right now..

Carolina nor Clemson better take this weeks games lightly. We saw what can happen with those Div II schools in App St.. Both Furman and SC St. are coming to play and they are going to do every wacky, unorthodox thing that they can do to beat our teams this week. Both the Furman and SC St. teams have players that both Carolina and Clemson recruited. They both have players that transferred to these two teams. Spurrier said in his presser today that both schools are loaded with talent. He said that just because Carolina and Clemson pick a certain player over the players that ended up at these schools, doesn't mean that they are better. Carolina and Clemson miss on some. There is no doubt that the Carolina and Clemson squads are more talented but as I've heard Spurrier say before, "You don't have to have the better talent to win the ballgame."

This is the first match up ever between SC St. and Carolina in football. That is amazing to me that we have never played them before, as old as both schools are.

Spurrier is taking the right preparations in getting our special teams on track. He said that Mike Davis, Cory Boyd, and both the Brinkleys will all play on the special teams now. He said that the best players will be on the field. He said he is tired of watching our special teams struggle.

Tommy is also fired up about Clemson's trouble to tackle against ULM. I heard his presser today on the radio and he was not very happy. He said that the Clemson squad will have a very physical, hard hitting practice tonight with a bunch of tackling drills to ensure that the defense doesn't have the same showing this week as they had against ULM. Sounds like he is getting his boys on track. Spurrier did the same thing after the LA LA game and it certainly seemed to have worked for us.

We better watch it this week. Both of our teams are sitting high right now and we don't want to be sitting like Michigan. The key to both games will be tackling. If both teams tackle well, they will not have any trouble putting up the points. Both teams just have to very careful this weekend..
