‘SEC East sleepers’: Gamecocks get more national love
South Carolina received some national attention with its season opening win over N.C. State. The positive press continued with Saturday’s road win over Missouri.
Here’s a roundup of what some of the TV commentators and college football pundits said about the Gamecocks:
Great win by Georgia on the road.

However, I’m still not sure if the most impressive team in the East hasn’t been South Carolina so far.
Gamecocks are SEC East sleepers. Muschamp better coach than critics claimed when he was hired.

"I think this is a team that has a legitimate chance to win the SEC East." --@MGolicJR57 on the #Gamecocks during tonight's broadcast.

Props to South Carolina on win at Mizzou tonight. First total gambling whiff of season. Gamecocks much improved team.

May be the best team in the dumpster fire that is the East. Somehow Muschamp is likely the best head coach in the division.

Dear SEC: If you kick to Deebo Samuel, you deserve to lose. Period.
