Why Ole Miss Will Win

South Carolina has one win since February 3rd – a span of nine games with a defense that’s struggling to comes with enough stops, the SEC’s worst rebounding margin, and an offense that turns it over way too often.

There are times when the shooting is on, but it’s rare. Ole Miss has a whole lot of problems, but it rebounds wells the second-best scoring defense in the SEC, and it’s been brilliant at winning low-scoring, close games with three victories in the last four and seven in the last nine.

Why South Carolina Will Win

The Gamecocks might have a hard time rebounding in general – meaning, on the defensive side – but they lead the SEC in offensive boards partially because of all of the misses.

Ole Miss might be among the SEC’s leaders in rebounding margin, but they’re only okay on the defensive glass – South Carolina was able to hold its own in the 81-74 loss in mid-February.

To pull this off, South Carolina has to be decent from the field – not a given for a team that struggles to get too far part 40% – and it has to do something from three.

What’s Going To Happen

Ole Miss kept going to the glass in the first game, shooting a whopping 44 free throws and making 34 of them. That was way off for a South Carolina team that doesn’t usually come up with a slew of fouls.

It’ll be another attacking game plan for the Rebels as they try to get to the line again and grind this down. Ole Miss can hit the key shots, and South Carolina can’t.

Why Ole Miss Will Win

The offense continues to rock and roll.

The passing game gets the glory, but it’s fourth in the SEC – the Rebels lead the SEC in rushing. It all works, the O is second in the conference behind Alabama, and it’s adaptable enough to keep rolling in any way possible – it has yet to dip below the 442-yard mark.

South Carolina doesn’t have the defense to disrupt what the Rebels do. There’s no pressure in the backfield, the run defense is getting hit way too hard – giving up over 200 yards in each of the last three games – and the offense isn’t producing enough to make up for the defensive issues.

However …

CFN College Football Experts Picks

Why South Carolina Will Win

This is when the Gamecock attack has to get going.

The ground game only worked against Vanderbilt, the passing attack has been inconsistent, and nothing happened against Texas A&M with just 150 yards of total O in the loss. Nothing cures mediocre offenses like the Ole Miss defense that only gave up fewer than 400 yards once.

The Rebels can’t come up with a third down stop, the defensive front doesn’t do anything against the run, and it’s the worst overall D in the league by a mile, giving up well over 50 yards per game more than LSU, and almost 100 yards a game more than everyone else.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

South Carolina is desperate after two straight blowout losses, but it’s about to have even more problems defensively against an Ole Miss attack that’s humming right along.

The Rebels will throw enough to keep things moving, but it’ll be the running game that takes over early on to make it four straight games the Gamecocks give up over 260 yards on the ground.
