re: Are the Cocks as good as their Record?

Simply put, yes. The problem for us is our next three games. LSU, Florida & Tennessee are all capable of beating the Gamecocks if they play their best. I know all will be gunning for us and it will take nearly perfect execution by the Cocks to get through that stretch without a loss. We finally have the talent and depth on both sides of the ball to do it, but this is the SEC after all and winning any game is a tough row to hoe.

They were losing to Kentucky at the half 17-7

For the home defense. However, for the home offense, it doesn't matter as much since the crowd usually quiets down so they can run plays.

Seems pretty close in quality of opponents...
Even closer when you break down the games. The game against UGA, has to be looked at properly. USCe had a 21 point lead in the first. 7 from a long drive, solid points. THe next 7 come from a tipped pass at the line for an INT, not a pick 6 but short field off a turnover. The next score came from a kick return. I don't have the play to know if it was blown coverage or a good return.
I know these things are part of football, and I'm not saying discount the win at all, but UGA is not built to shoot it out like a WVU or TTU. ANd I'm not saying USCe wouldn't have still put up 35, but UGA had to throw from the get go to get back in the game. If the big plays are eliminated, it's a completely different ball game to start. We would maybe be playing a 5-1 USCe team, or they may still be indeafeted but have won 21-14 or 17. That's the beauty of college football, and for people thinking we can't/won't win, Death Valley is worth an X-factor.

Here's the play, you tell me.

Ace also popped one against Mizzou...

On the flip side of your argument, after they got up by 21 points in the first, Spurrier went totally vanilla with the play calling. Run, run and more run. Connor Shaw only attempted 10 pass the entire game. Seven in the first qtr, and only one attempt in the each of the next 3 quarters. They were still able to score 14 points after that pretty much only running the ball and controlling the clock. Sound familiar?

One thing going for us is Spurrier has a history of not being able to put together two successive big game victorys.

Yes, They are that good.

Y'all beat Auburn by...2.
Y'all lost to UF.
Y'all have been beaten.
Noone is saying we can't be beaten but y'all need to stop bringing up the Vandy game (first game of the season on the road with Shaw getting hurt). We are a completely different team and it shows.

We currently hold most wins in a row at home and we're giving points in the game. LSU wins and brings cocky back down to earth.

The only difference being USCe's win over a UGa team who's biggest win was against a crappy Tennessee team.
Georgia beat A&M and Missouri on the road. Please tell me some teams who have a better road resume so far.

they are solid.
great DEs.
Lattimore, good but no longer great, due to injury/recovery.
a QB with hairy balls.
