The great thing about being young is that you’re open to the kind of mind-forging repetition that can etch all sorts of information onto an unconscious level.
Just 60 minutes into what was supposed to be a best-ever season for No. 21 South Carolina, the Gamecocks’ plans were derailed.
The featured game in college football this week brings together two heavyweights in No. 7 Michigan State and the No. 3 Oregon Ducks in a game that’s sure to give the winner an early leg up on a spot for the college football playoff.
Last Thursday, one team put up 52 points and 680 total yards of offense in their season opener at Williams-Brice.

Graduate student James Armstrong knows how to change USC’s luck on the football field.
Even if you know virtually nothing about football, the collective groan coming from the Williams-Brice Stadium on Thursday told you all you needed to know. Texas A&M made the student section wish they had gone to class that day.
Kenny Hill: It took him only one game as a starter to pass for more yards in a game than former Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, but sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill shattered Manziel’s mark.
Overshadowed by an atrocious defensive performance, the Gamecock receiving core was one of the only bright spots for the team against Texas A&M.

Thursday’s season opening matchup between South Carolina and Texas A&M will be the first live football broadcast on the SEC Network. The channel’s new pregame show, “SEC Nation,” will make its maiden voyage, as well.
Rumors regarding junior running back Mike Davis’ health spread like wildfires. But those wildfires have been extinguished by head coach Spurrier.
It’s finally Dylan Thompson’s time to shine.
Depth is a glaring presence on both the offensive and defensive lines for the Gamecocks, which should prove valuable in a deep SEC.
