LB Porter Gustin to sit first half.

As Loyal says, every little bit helps, and some people here consider Gustin to be their best LB. On the other hand, LB is an area where SC has depth, so I don't expect a huge drop-off.

I suspect that the major impact on his replacement will be in terms of recognizing our formations and adapting their coverages. In short, experience and familiarity with gametime, on field conditions. I expect us to run an offense that forces them to stop the pass. They will probably rush 3 and drop 8, and the question then will be whether we can run/shovel pass our way out of that, and how much time the line can give our QB against a decent 3 man rush. Having a more mobile QB may turn out to be the biggest factor in that...time will tell.
