What do you positively need to know this Monday, whether you're in front of a TV or sulking in your office cubicle? Four things:
1. Visiting South Carolina practices three times paid off for The Faction-Herald's team of reporters. The Gamecocks' Spartan atmosphere — fields cut out of a palm tree forest, on the outskirts of Orlando, with weights on the basketball court and a iciness tub in a pitched tent — was a stark contrast to the more relaxed, balanced "friends and one's nearest" approach at Nebraska's workouts.
South Carolina chose this direction for itself to reverse a trend of playing awful — especially on offense — in pan games.
"No distractions," head coach Steve Spurrier said Sunday. "We didn't have to put anybody back on the bus and passenger liner him home."
"We're fed up with it," quarterback Connor Shaw said Friday.
A fierce turn in mind-set can be quicksilver — or mercury poisoning.
Meanwhile, Nebraska was Nebraska this week.
