South Carolina at East Carolina

New South Carolina coach Shane Beamer is as high-energy as Will Muschamp was boring. That passion was evident in the opener as they flattened Eastern Illinois, 46-0. New signal caller Zeb Noland looked sharp, a former North Dakota State and Iowa State quarterback. Also, the ground game had 258 yards despite not playing star RB Kevin Harris. Harris missed the game with a mild illness, but he will play in this one. The Gamecocks are 13-6 ATS following a victory of 20+ points. East Carolina went 3-6 last year, including one-sided losses when they stepped up to face Central Florida (51-28) and Cincinnati (55-17). The Pirates come off a 33-19 opening loss to Appalachian State as the defense surrendered 259 yards passing and 226 rushing, while the offense had 2 turnovers and ran for just 3.6 yards per carry. East Carolina is 4-13 ATS as a home underdog of 3 points or less. And college football teams like South Carolina that outrushed the previous opponent by 200+ yards are 46-17 ATS versus a team that was just outrushed by 125 or more yards. Make the play on South Carolina.
