BIG GAMES THIS WEEK

#10 Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) at #26 South Carolina Gamecocks (1-1) = The big questions in this games are; have the Gamecocks knocked off the cobwebs from the beating they took from the Aggies, and can they get the strong play from the Quarterback position that they need to win or do they need to look elsewhere? Is Todd Gurley really as good overall as he was in one game against Clemson? I’m betting we see a better Gamecock team than we did opening weekend. This should be a back and forth one if Mike Davis is healthy. This could be the best top Running backs in College matchup of the year. MY PREDICTION = Georgia 37 S. Carolina 31

 

#11 UCLA Bruins (2-0) vs. Texas Longhorns (1-1) (AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas) = There are a lot of questions for both teams going into this game. Texas has been strong on defense when they get some rest, but has shown a lack of depth, and an ability to get tired and be eventually run over. Offensively will they open it up, and move the ball to give their defense time to rest as they season the young Tyrone Swoopes and the quagmire that is their makeshift offensive line. UCLA has spent the whole offseason listening to how good they should be, but has yet to be impressive on either side of the ball. So I wonder what we will get. I expect this game to be close for the first 3 quarters then for some kind of big play or turn over to get the win. MY PREDICTION = UCLA 27 Texas 19
