After last year's Thursday night debacle, Spurrier has to know how big of a game this is.
However, North Carolina is nothing to slouch at. They were 6-7 last season but return 17 starters off that team. They run high tempo with Fedora, but their defense gives up a ton of points.
I think South Carolina wins, but it's not set in stone by any means. Losing this game could mean the beginning of the end for Spurrier. Their West schedule is not easy (vs. LSU, @A&M), and their toughest East opponents are all road games (@Tenn, @UGA, @Mizzou).
