Last week’s upset alert went pretty well. Washington destroyed an overrated Boise State and South Carolina had a close half until winning comfortably. The second week of the season still provides limited options for a potential upset, but hopefully I can pick out a few.
Florida @ Miami
Kirk Herbstreit actually picked the Gators to lose to Toledo at home last weekend. Florida dominated. This week they head to Miami. It is still unknown how good the Canes actually are this season, but this should be one of the more competitive top 25 games this weekend. Miami will look to grind out yards with Duke Johnson, while throwing in well-timed play action passes. I think the Gator offense will continue to struggle, and will leave the door open for the Canes to pull off the upset on their home field.
South Carolina @ Georgia
The Georgia/ Clemson game was very well played for being the first game of the season, and I was blown away with the amount of speed on both offenses. Even though Clemson came away with the game, I think Georgia is still one of the best teams in the SEC. This is a very important game for the Dawgs, because making another SEC Championship Game will be near impossible after starting 0-2. South Carolina’s offense is nowhere close to Clemson’s, which should help the young Georgia defense. Also, outside of the Gamecock’s pass rush (mainly from Clowney), I think the Dawgs will be able to move the ball on Saturday. Even if both defenses struggle, I just cannot see South Carolina’s offense be able to keep up with Aaron Murray, Todd Gurley, and company.
