Univ. of South Carolina, Clemson Have Off Day

Both the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tigers have the day off today as both teams prepare for what will be a crucial final stretch of the 2008 college football season.

Clemson's next game will be against Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts at 3:30 PM on Saturday, November 1.

Clemson desperately needs a win to help redeem its season that is teetering on the edge of disaster with a 3-4 record. If anyone can help pull them out it is the newly named Interim Head Coach Dabo Swinney with his infectious enthusiasm that has reignited the team and its fans.

As for the Gamecocks, Steve Spurrier and company will square off against Tennessee at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC next Saturday, November 1, at 7 PM.

With a record this season of 5-3, South Carolina is on the brink of either having a stellar season with at least 8 wins or else they are standing on the edge of a precipice getting ready to crash.

South Carolina has 4 games left, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, and Clemson.

It is generally believed that the Gamecocks can pick up 3 out of the 4, but even if they split the remaining games they will still be bowl-eligible.

If they drop 3 of the remaining games they will wind up with yet another lackluster season.

But don't count out the possibility that Spurrier can pull off a 4-game sweep, giving him another 9-win season in his career. He has done it before.
