2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl Free Pick:
The Gamecocks allows just 104.3 rushing yards per game, which ranks them ninth in the nation in that category. That’s good against a team like Florida State, which likes to stay balanced but will lean on its running game. Quarterback Stephen Garcia is the key for South Carolina. He’s too inconsistent but when he’s on, he can lead a very balanced Gamecock attack to victory. He’s prone to making mistakes but if he can keep the turnovers to a minimum, he should be fine. That said, South Carolina has to figure out a way to get Brandon Jenkins (13 sacks) blocked or else it could be a long day. The Gamecocks are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games versus ACC opponents and 6-1 ATS in their last seven non-conference games. Our picks is South Carolina –3.
