To no one's surprise, Steve Spurrier said South Carolina quarterback Blake Mitchell would start against the Bulldogs in his return from a one-game suspension for class absences. Spurrier indicated all week that Mitchell would start, but joked that he wanted to give Georgia more to prepare for by not announcing it sooner. With last week's starter, Chris Smelley, out with a shoulder injury, Tommy Beecher will be Mitchell's backup and redshirt Stephen Garcia will be the No. 3 quarterback.

I was highly impressed with Mitchell's performance last year. But the truth is Mitchell won't be deciding factor in this game. C'mon Georgia will whoop the snot out of USC then kisck thier ****for having a runny nose.
woo pig sooie!

Gamecocks huh??? Taste like chicken..

tap me on the shoulder when Spurrier is relevant again.

Good to see that Spurrier learned from Weis' mistakes in trying to fool the opposition with a QB choice.

Dawgs will not cover the spread, do they ever against USC? It will be a higher scoring game though. The dawgs will perservere in the end.

Steve Spurrier...and a mixed up QB? The TRUTH thinks he has seen this movie before?

You Georgia lovers/haters should check out my throwdown against a techie.

After in-depth research..the TRUTH has discovered that in GARC 100.3.321(a) there is a little known ordinance that forbids Bullgogs and YellowJackets from congregating in the some square mile. Hence, all of your arguments are futile................now, who's on the tab for the TRUTH's billable hours?

September 7, 2007  01:20 PM ET

Oh THE TRUTH get over yourself.....you just like to inflate your own ego. I am a UGA and TECH fan so how does that sit with you? I will always hate any team Spurrier coaches, so yes this weekend, I am praying for a massacre but you never know! (Hubby went to GT have to cheer for them...)

It feels like Blake Mitchell has been at South Carolina for ever. In all that time what has he accomplished? Nothing in my mind.

September 7, 2007  02:38 PM ET

How 'bout 'em digs the shocker.

Don't want to see it administered with that hand.
