An early season look at the Gamecocks 2019

April 03, 2019

South Carolina will be a really, really good football team with a really, really brutal schedule that’s going to nearly impossible to navigate. Even North Carolina under Mack Brown is going to be dangerous, but that should be a win, and so will the game against Charleston Southern. And then where’s another win? Vanderbilt? Okay. Kentucky? Probably. Appalachian State? Sure. The Gamecocks will get to six wins, but even some of the home games – Alabama, Florida, Clemson – are brutal.

2018 Record: 7-6
Realistic Best Case Record: 8-4
Realistic Worst Case Record: 5-7
2019 Prediction, April Version: 6-6

Schedule preview

  • It’s a rough non-conference slate, considering the Gamecocks are opening things up against Mack Brown’s North Carolina team in Charlotte to kick things off. Charleston Southern is the break, but Appalachian State in early November is certainly no peach, and then there’s that massive matzo ball at the end of the regular season when Clemson comes to Columbia.
  • Not only do the Gamecocks have to face the defending national champs, but they get the brutal break of dealing with Alabama from the West to kick off SEC play. At least that’s at home, unlike the road game at Texas A&M to close out the conference season.
  •  The aren’t a slew of good breaks against the East, either. Florida is a home game, but so are the Vanderbilt and Kentucky games, meaning USC has to go on the road to play Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee. Out of the final ten games, the Vols are the only team that didn’t go bowling.
     
 
Talent is there but the brutal schedule this fall is there too. So you might not see it in wins. Cocks stay healthy look for one big upset. I'm calling it now Clemson. So you folks leaving remember this come back at the end of the season to remind to see if I have to eat crow. :85463624_megaphone(1):
