Spurrier Toning It Down a Bit?

By all accounts the head ball coach is trying to reel expectations in a bit after telling fans/media that the Gamecocks were ready to contend last year. Here's a look at some of his comments at SEC Media days regarding the 2008 season. (video: OnlineAthens.com)

If the Chickens can find a QB (Garcia looks more likely to return each day), the Gamecocks could open the season with a 6-1 run again as their opening slate of NC State, Vandy, UGA, Wofford, UAB, Kentucky and Ole Miss is incredibly manageable. Unfortunately for Spurrier, the schedule ends with LSU, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida and Clemson. So another trip to Shreveport or Memphis could be in the works for bowl season.
