The South Carolina Gamecocks open their season tonight against the Georgia State Panthers, setting up a reunion between former Steve Spurrier staffers in Shane Beamer vs. Shawn Elliott. Fans will finally get their first look at ballyhooed transfer quarterback Spencer Rattler, and after a brief detour into another identity, Sir Big Spur will be back on the sidelines as well. Here’s how the GABA gang sees things going down.
Kody: I’m so curious to see this game for a number of reasons – the coaching storylines and Rattler’s performance are among the most intriguing, of course, but I also want to see how this team fares in its second opener under Beamer, especially when there are greater expectations after coming off a solid seven-win season capped with a bowl victory.
