Hard to imagine the classic "let-down" spot for Mizzu when its a night game & homecoming nonetheless. Let-down games are more like when you win a big game and then play Idaho the next week. Sure SCarolina will be motivated, but they weren't motivated vs Tennessee when they knew the SEC East was up for grabs watching Georgia get beat the week prior to Mizzu?
Sometimes you can read too much into "this team got beat so their pissed" & "this team will have a let-down b/c they won" Oklahoma wasn't pissed about getting completely dominated by Texas on National Television? How did that work out? Kansas steamed rolled that team. I don't care what the box score reads, I watched that game, and Kansas played better and should have won.
The fact of the matter is; Mauk thru for 350 yards and Mizzu rushed for 200 yards. Yes, that is correct. 500 yards of total offense against a very talented Florida defense, so don't tell me they aren't legit on offense. Mauk IS very good and this offense IS very talented. On the other hand, USC is prone to give up big plays defensively.. Sure, Clowney is going to get his 1 ESPN clip for the game, but that is where it stops in my opinion. And as for the other side of the ball, whether it be Shaw or Thompson, both are pretty much the same guy; execpt Shaw has the feet. However, both struggle at times to throw the ball on time and read the coverage fast enough. Don't get me wrong, USC is going to make plays, but will it be enough, because I think Mizzu will move the ball very well.
Both teams will be motivated. Both will be locked-in. And both are going to play well. This game comes down to match-ups and I think Mizzu matches up GREAT with USC.
If you're telling me that I get the home team @ -2.5, at night, playing with GREAT confidence and a very talented QB that the team has rallied behind; then I will take my chances with the home team any day.

rLp- it is tough to keep up the intensity they have been playing with. 3rd big game in a row. Not saying Mizzou can't win this game, it is just a tough spot for them. Plus Mizzou has looked at rankings all week, heard how good they are on ESPN.....Just a tough spot

Very impressed with Mizzou. They're playing with a lot of confidence but, IMO, they're beatable. Just maybe not this week.
The Gamecocks' defense, especially at LB and Safety, is not very good. Yes, Clowney is a beast. At the CB spots, Legree is very good and Hampton, while reckless, can be good. The DTs are good but Quarles is banged up. He needs to play.
The Gamecocks sport a very good offensive line (was banged up last week with a few starters out) and one of the best RBs in the country in Davis. Davis needs Brandon Wilds (elbow) back because, without him, there's no suitable backup.
Shaw isn't great on the road and is very banged up. If he goes, I'd like Mizzou because a HUGE piece of Shaw's game is his mobility.
For me to take the Cocks, assuming this line stays put, I'd need to know Dylan Thompson is playing, Quarles is playing, and Brandon Wilds is back at 100%.
Right now I'm watching and waiting.

hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that missouri is beating the gators and Georgia,an injury plagued Georgia,but they are making an impact in a conf. they just started in last year.I think the line will be So. Carolina 3 or 4. Seems MO. pulls an A&M and shows everybody that they are in fact able to play in the conference,I guess you might say their backs are up against the wall maybe.

Teams Win-Loss Streak Open Current Spread Money O/U 189 South Carolina (5-2) (2-2 A) L-1 -5 9% n/a n/a 190 Missouri (7-0) (4-0 H) W-7 -3 91% n/a n/a
Lets see how much this one moves.
If 90+% are on Mizz i'd be real worried - it tells you everything you need to know about this game when the majority aren't backing an SEC power house under Spurrier like USC
