    Texas A&M vs South Carolina
    The deeper I look into this game I'm starting to fall for Texas A&M. They recruited some talent on this offense. I'm liking the looks of Kenny Hill, his style is very similar to Manziel. Speedy Noil a freshman wide receiver is freak of an athlete and Tra Carson in the back field is a biggg boy who can move and catch. I'm not impressed with South Carolina's Senior QB who is clearly a big step down from Conner Shaw. Plus, South Carolina usually plays close games and they are far from a Oregon or Baylor that keeps laying points on (11 points is a lot). After further research I think I'm switching sides on this one, everyone is thinking Texas A&M will suck post Johny Football but I think its trap.

    Texas A&M +10.5

    Texas A&M's defense last year was horrendous. Couldn't stop anybody. They let Rice score 31. Sam Houston scored 28, and Duke put up 48 points in the Bowl game. I don't see this years defense being much better, especially in the first game of the season against an experienced QB and great group of RB's and WR's. South Carolina will score early and often IMO. They'll put up 35 points easy. I just don't see a Freshman QB coming in and throwing it all over the place against a good SC defense. I can see a final score of 35-21.

          A&M lost three starters on defense so far. NG Golden, DE Stansbury, and WLB Claibourne are all out for the season. CB De Vante Harris is out for this game. Backup DB Davis and backup SLB Washington are also out. So much for the A&M Defense. There will be plenty of points scored in this game.

            You realize South Carolina has 2 freshmen starting in the secondary too...both under 6 ft and under 180 lbs. Against A&Ms monsters receiver Ricky Seals Jones 6'5 235lbs and TE Cam Clear 6 6 265lbs... not to mention a 5 star recruit Speedy Noil in the slot as well.

            "If there is a huge advantage for Texas A&M, it is the size of its wide receivers over the South Carolina corners. Texas A&M is considerably taller and heavier at receiver, thanks to guys like Ricky Seals-Jones and Josh Reynolds. Even Malcome Kennedy is listed at 205 pounds. South Carolina will likely play two true freshmen at corner, Chris Lammons and Al Harris Jr., who only weigh 172 and 162 pounds, respectively. That just might be who Kenny Hill targets on Thursday night."

              Bottom line is SC defense will be better.

                Yeah that SC defense looks good man. Glad to see you did your own research instead of reading ESPN all day
