Pate also dives into why he thinks Shane Beamer and company could potentially upset Texas A&M this season, and tells us what college football storyline compares to the sequel to Twister.Next Chris gets into a great audience question on if USC could/should take a page out of Georgia Tech's offensive playbook after what they did to Florida State in Dublin in Week zero. We break down the offensive identity and scheme and why it does make sense for South Carolina to run some similar concepts with their personnel and new coaching additions.Finally the show closes with Chris releasing his first SEC Power Rankings of the season.
