Bobby Maxwell Thursday's winner... 500 Unit SEC Midweek Must Play - SOUTH CAROLINA

An SEC team with the talent of South Carolina is getting points at home in a nationally televised conference matchup? I don't understand it but I'll certainly jump all over it. Play Steve Spurrier and grab the points tonight.

Spurrier's guys had a cupcake game on Saturday, beating Florida Atlantic 38-16, after two tough games to open the season, beating NC State in the season-opener for college football in a defensive battle, 7-3, and then going to Georgia and losing a shootout 41-37. The Gamecocks covered in each of the first two games and showed they can slug it out on defense or offense.

Everyone is singing the praises of Ole Miss QB Jevan Snead, but expect that South Carolina defense to have a gameplan for him. We know the Ole Miss defense is supposed to be specdtacular, but it isn't facing Southeastern Louisiana here. The 'Cocks have offensive talent in QB Stephen Garcia and RB Jarvis Giles. Garcia has 683 yards passing so far this year and Giles ran for 113 on 11 carries on Saturday.

South Carolina went to Ole Miss and beat the Rebels a season ago, 31-24 as a two-point road 'dog. The 'Cocks are on ATS runs of 6-2-1 in September games, 12-5 after an ATS win and 5-2 in SEC play.

This home crowd is going to be pumped up and honestly I think the Ole Miss squad is a big overrated at No. 4 in the country. Their offense is good, but not great and their defense hasn't been tested yet against an offense with the firepower of South Carolina.

Play Spurrier and the 'Cocks tonight!
