I am also not really sold on Bamas offense. They are above average yes, but they aren't as dominant in the run game as they have in the past. Plus they will play a tough defense in Ole Miss. Besides UF, I would have to say SCAR has one of the fastest defenses in the SEC. If they can play opportunistic defense, and create some turnovers and pressure the QB. It will be a battle.
Bamas Defense is solid for sure. but They have some depth questions, and I think your going to see South Carolina keep an uptempo very balanced attack. Garcia will be dangerous against them because of his escapeability. Also look for mismatches in size on the outside with Gurly, and Saunders.

TOTAL YARDS THROUGH FOUR GAMES:
............2008.....2009
Passing: 603......1028
Rushing: 947......937
I will agree that looks can be deceiving, but actually our rushing output is almost identical to last year at this point. It's just not as easy to do after losing Smith and Caldwell to the draft. But there might be a slight difference in passing yardage, not sure.
McElroy is ranked third in the nation in pass efficiency after 4 games.
Defensively...not much to say there. Mallet went from being ranked #1 to #30 after he faced us. Ranked #2 nationally in Total Defense. Quite honestly I'm not worried about Garcia. Heck, Spurrier might have him benched by the time our game rolls around.
Either way, I look forward to the game, as I do all SEC games. You know what they say about any given Saturday.
