The Feed Pail: September 6, 2016

David Caraviello: For Gamecocks, was Vanderbilt victory another opening-week mirage? And - For South Carolina’s offense, corrections begin with finding a cure for the drops.

Campus Insiders: Mississippi State vs. South Carolina Prediction, Game Preview.

Scott Hood: Miss. State faces leadership vacuum after Prescott's exit.

Sportstalksc: DL Romello Martin of Brooklyn has USC solidly in top six.

The State: USC v. Vanderbilt 25 Things You May Have Missed.  As usual, I'm already running up against The State's (still) inexplicable paywall. I refused to pay however much they wanted while we were riding high, and I'm not paying $1.99 now either.

J.C. Shurbutt: Early Look: Mississippi State. Plus - Meet MSU Super-Fan "Stingray." Do you think his momma knows he is cutting videos in her living room? (Pssst - Nobody tell that guy our chickens have taken seven straight off his Dawgs).

Maroon & White Nation: Dan Mullen: the shorts, the smirk and the postgame comments. A lot of unhappy campers in Starkville at the moment.

SECCountry: This is pretty cool - Former Gamecocks golfer hits trick shot at Williams-Brice.  Also - Former quarterback Lorenzo Nunez remains a work in progress at wide receiver for South Carolina. I'm not trying to be down on Jamari Smith (who had some ugly drops in Nashville) but wouldn't it be better to move him back to DB in light of Rico McWilliams's departure, and see what Nunez - a bona fide playmaker - can do in the slot?

Gamecocksonline: Women's soccer is rolling - Gamecocks Top Charlotte 3-0 To Remain Unbeaten On The Season.
