2009 CFN South Carolina Preview

CollegeFootballNews.com / Scout has their preseason preview of the Gamecock football season up and would recommend you reading it.

Here is how it starts...

"The grand experiment hasn't exactly worked so far, with South Carolina going 28-21 in four years under Steve Spurrier, and while the national expectations might be low after so much mediocrity, the pieces are there for this to be a very interesting, if not a special season."

I hold out hope that it will be a special season but the schedule looks tough on paper. Still feel strongly that a lot rests on the shoulders (or arm) of Garcia. Spurrier & Co have excellent pieces to the puzzle but also it is a young team. Which could go either way...but nonetheless I am excited and not having the spotlight on the gamecocks could play into their advantage. First hurdles of NC State and UGA will tell a lot on how this year's version of the "experiment" will turn out.
