A New Powerhouse

I naturally assumed based on history that the University of South Carolina football team would clobber my hometown Vanderbilt Commodores in Columbia. The Gamecocks were supposed to be pretty good and with their rabid fans, great. USC at home I thought was virtually unbeatable. Vandy smacked them down like the proverbial redheaded stepchild with a final score of 31 to 7. The Dores are really tough this season, maybe even better than they were when now Penn State coach James Franklin had them at that recent peak.
