One of those teams will take the field tonight in an SEC season opener, South Carolina. The Gamecocks will play this season as one of the favorites in the SEC East, although with games against LSU and Arkansas on the schedule while Georgia gets to escape the top three teams from the West every game will be critical for Steve Spurrier and company. The first test comes with a road contest at Vanderbilt.
The Commodores are looking to build off a successful season in year one under James Franklin but how much more can this program realistically do? That remains to be seen of course but opening at home should give the Commodores a little extra juice to open the year, against one of the teams they need to catch. As far as the SEC East race is concerned, this is a heck of a way to kick off the season, and if South Carolina is not careful this could be a game that comes back to haunt them.
