Setting himself apart from the rank-and-file, Gamecocks cornerback Captain Munnerlyn overcame two muffed punts with his 81-yard blocked FG return touchdown and 84-yard kickoff return to set up a touchdown on Saturday. Steve Spurrier's squad needed all the special ops it could get for the 24-17 win against Kentucky, and the Gamecocks will need even more to defend their territory Saturday night against LSU. Since losing their first two SEC games to Georgia and Vandy, the Gamecocks have won four straight, including two over conference foes (Ole Miss and Kentucky). Les Miles and Co. will be ready for war after last week's blowout loss to Florida.

While Matty "Ice" Ryan is sending shivers down the backs of defenses on Sundays now, his replacement will have a chance to make a name for himself on Saturday night. Chris Crane, a more mobile signal-caller than last year's Heisman candidate, struggled early this season, getting booed, benched and questioned through four games, including a loss to Georgia Tech. It was during his most recent performance, against former B.C. coach Tom O'Brien and N.C. State, that he emerged with 428 passing yards and five touchdowns, as well as a game-winning 13-yard touchdown run for the win. Whether he can repeat the indelible heroics of Ryan against the Hokies from last year will go a long way toward figuring out the Eagles' road map the rest of the way.

37		Florida St. (4-1) Last Week: 41

38		Connecticut (5-1) Last Week: 39

39		Northwestern (5-1) Last Week: 27

40		Clemson (3-3) Last Week: 29
Whether he fell on the sword or one was thrust into him, Tommy Bowden is out, and the Tigers, who have lost two straight, face three teams (Georgia Tech, Boston College and Florida State) over the next three weeks that currently have a combined 13-3 record. Without Bowden or offensive coordinator Rob Spence, the attempts at reviving this season should be interesting in Death Valley.

43		Wisconsin (3-3) Last Week: 32

44		Maryland (4-2) Last Week: 46
