Upset City In Columbia

Steve Spurrier has coached in the NFL with the Washington Redskins, a stint that wasn't very successful. Prior to his NFL coach experience, Spurrier produced a National Championship and Heisman Trophy winner, among several SEC Championships. It's been a rebuilding process the past few years at the University of South Carolina. Spurrier hasn't experienced the same success with the Gamecocks, that he's experienced with the Gators. South Carolina came into Saturday's game ranked in the top 25. However the defending National Champions coached by Nick Saban, who has won titles at LSU and Alabama were coming into town, led by the likes of Heisman Trophy winner, running back Mark Ingram and backup Clint Richardson. Alabama when the exited Columbia Saturday evening, left with a loss. South Carolina and Spurrier shook up the college football world with their victory, now the Crimson Tide are currently ranked 8th. They'll have a long road ahead if they look to repeat, other teams that are ranked ahead of them, will probably have to lose. Nevertheless the ole ball coach, finally got that signature win at USC they he desired. South Carolina will move up the top 25 rankings as well.
