Game of the Week I

You're a South Carolina fan. You hear about five players engaging in a lunchroom brawl Thursday that involved flying chairs and turned-over tables.
Your first thought: Everybody OK? Your second thought: Oh, no, are any of these guys starters?
Sigh-of-relief time. No injuries reported. And no regulars involved, which means no significant suspensions for the Georgia game.
Turns out, the quarrelsome quintet was provoked by non-student intruders, so none will likely be sat down. (Still, whatever happened to walking away from a fight?)
So, it's back to the business of the Gamecocks showing more fight on the field. This rivalry tends to produce close, tense games. Steve Spurrier had two extra days to drill his anemic offense after a Thursday night setback to Vandy, but it may not be enough time against a ferocious defense.
Don't expect the ol' ball coach to fire his play-caller. That would be Steve Spurrier Jr.
