The college football season is now underway in South Carolina. The University South Carolina Gamecocks played their first game Thursday evening, and the Clemson Tigers debut tonight.
In a game that was broadcast nationally on ESPN, South Carolina opened their season with a rout over North Carolina State, 34-0.
Despite the overwhelming victory, 'the ole ball coach,' Steve Spurrier, was not entirely pleased with the Gamecocks' performance.
Spurrier stated that there are problems with the Gamecock offense. Quarterback Tommy Beecher fell victim to 4 interceptions. The defensive line, however, showed that they are among the strongest in the nation by overcoming the offensive gaps.
South Carolina will travel to Nashville next Saturday for an SEC matchup with Vanderbilt,
beginning at 8:30 PM, ET.
Clemson University will begin its season tonight against the University of Alabama Crimson Tide at 8 P.M. This game will be played in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Coach Tommy Bowden has one of his strongest teams ever this year, as the Tigers are ranked 9th in the nation in the pre-season USA Today poll.
