		<description><![CDATA[Obama&#8217;s State of The Union speech was filled with soaring rhetoric, and teleprompter reading worthy of a Oscar winner, but we must make a real effort to see beyond campaign year rhetorical flourishes and take a hard look what was actually being proposed.

Gamecock QB Connor Shaw showed maturity by protecting the ball, running for 108 yards and a touchdown, while throwing for three more. The SEC battle tested Gamecock&#8217;s defense was outstanding, holding the Tiger&#8217;s over-rated offense to 13 points. [...]]]></description>
