College Football Betting Preview: North Carolina State vs South CarolinaNorth Carolina State at South CarolinaThursday, August 28, 2008 8:00 pm Eastern - ESPN SBG Global Opening Line: South Carolina -13.5, Total 50.5 South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier is not making any predictions about this year's football team just yet. Last season the Gamecocks started 6-1 but collapsed down the stretch, losing their last five games and missing out on a bowl game. That has put the pressure squarely on Spurrier to produce this season. They open up the season with an interesting test as Tom O'Brien's North Carolina State Wolfpack come to town. SBG Global reports that early NCAA Football betting has the public taking South Carolina at Home. "We're trying to stay a little bit underneath the radar, whatever you want to call it, about not trying to talk too big and, hopefully, let our play do whatever talking needs to be said," Spurrier said, "I don't know we've got a really good team, an average team or what. I don't know yet." The Gamecocks are only 21-16 under Spurrier and the pressure is starting to build on the old ball coach. "Time can only tell if we're a different team than in the (past) three years I've been here," Spurrier said. South Carolina is starting the season with unproven junior quarterback Tommy Beecher who has thrown only 24 passes in his career. The good news for Spurrier is that his defense is excellent. They have both Jasper Brinkley and Nathan Pepper back from injury. Join SBG Global and start winning CASH on FOOTBALL today!
