ESPN college football North Carolina vs. South
Carolina kicks off what so many pro bettors have
legitimate reason to believe it will be the best
ever for bettors.
SBR Forum‟s Peter Loshak and Grandmaster
Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy CEO of
OffshoreInsiders.com handicapping
headquarters discuss the contest. Vegas college
football spreads have the Gamecocks (-13) with
some 12.5s out there as well. The total is at 57.5
across the board.

3. Jadeveon Clowney
Duffy notes that the best way to slow down South
Carolina‟s superstar Jadeveon Clowney is to speed him
up. I have seen many players, coaches, and I‟ve seen it
with my own eyes. When the offense “matriculates” the ball
past the line of scrimmage, the offensive linemen‟s job is
pretty much done. The defense is in constant pursuit. So
high-powered offenses wear down the defense more than
themselves. Plus they can run players in and out, while the
defense has little time to adjust with match-ups.
North Carolina‟s fast-paced offense will challenge USC‟s
(yes that‟s what they call them in Columbia, SC) defense.
Both head coach Larry Fedora and defensive coordinator
Vic Koenning say the defense is so much more ready for
this year.

4. ESPN Picks
They play a unique 4-2-5 defense, something
few if any played anything close to at any level.
Many injuries further disrupted the defense. Well
at Clemson, Kansas State, and Illinois
Koenning‟s defenses showed substantial
improvement from year No. 1 to year 2.
Even on offense, it was a big adjustment. But
now the Tar Heels have a proven solid QB in
Bryn Renner and a nice running back crew of
A.J. Blue, Romar Morris, Kris Francis. This
reminds me of when the „Cocks opened up
against Troy, another fast-paced offense. The
back door was open, Troy made a late run.

5. College Football Freeplay
UNC will catch some teams off-guard. A double-
digit underdog winning outright is very possible.
Pick: North Carolina (+13).
