South Carolina Gamecocks

If there is one team that needs to have a good season, it’s the South Carolina Gamecocks . Impressive wins over Tennessee and Arkansas improved the Cocks to 7-3 but three consecutive losses brought them back down to earth. The 31-10 loss to Iowa in the Outback Bowl followed the worst loss of Steve Spurrier’s career to his former Gators side in 2008. While the Cocks made three bowls in four seasons under Spurrier, the 2006 win over Houston in the Liberty Bowl represented South Carolina’s best season since the start of the century. Experienced center Garrett Anderson has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List after featuring in all 13 matches for the Cocks last year.
