We Are A Bad Match Up for South Carolina

[YaketySax]

UK has a good front seven but I’m still not sure we have good DBs. I don’t think it’ll matter next week unless Carolina only showed part of their playbook which I kinda doubt they did since the ODU game was tight.

South Carolina has a QB who can’t throw it well but can make plays with his legs. Sellers was 10/23 for 114 yards. Their QB only threw it 23 times. Meanwhile Sellers and their RB had about 45 carries in between them, but not a lot of yards with about 3.5 yards per carry. Thats not an elite rushing attack.

I feel like I got to watch the game to get a good sense, but the box score looks promising for UK. UK was a 5.5 point favorite offshore last week, but after Saturday I assume it’ll be at least over a touchdown. The lines will come out this afternoon to know for sure.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

We beat the breaks off South Carolina.
They should have lost at home to Old Dominion.
It will be a nice tune up gm before the real season starts v Georgia.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Here is my major concern: sc has a stud wr and we play our cbs based on field/boundary instead of matching up. Jq was once again not great in either man or zone. In man he got beat and in zone he was way too easily influenced by routes in front of him.

So sc can dictate very easily by formation what theyre getting. They can either bet their beast is going to beat our man cb in the boundary or run levels at jq to the field for some easy first downs. He already showed himself susceptible to that concept last night.

We badly need another cb to step up.

And we will; its hard to get up for Southern Miss. They will be ready for SEC play.

Unless the WRs can throw to themselves, I’m not sure SC has a prayer.

 

[billoliver40]

Hope you're right. If you can't get up for the first game ya got problems

This is a game we should absolutely win but so was the game last year. Thats why i really just have one concern.

That said imo you cant discount how much sc and beamer gets up for the UK game. They have issues but were also absolutely looking ahead. This is a game that insufferable little pr*ck circles every year.

This will probably be his last year there. His seat was lukewarm before the season and the way they looked yesterday, I can’t see them winning more than 5 games.

I’m hoping once DJ Waller is fully healthy that he can take that spot. I’m kinda surprised that Dunn didn’t beat out JQ either but he looks more like a safety to me than a corner so maybe he’s playing out of position.

Mixed feelings about this. On one hand i cant stand him but on the other hes never going to do more than beat us here and there. Whereas they could totally make the right hire and turn into another very formidable team.

Shane Beamer has no business coaching at a Div 1 program. South Carolina is famous for the “wait until next year” mentality and will keep him a few more seasons.

South Carolina had their greatest success when they hired an old Spurrier who became their winningest coach in 10 seasons.
This is the same program that has hired Beamer,
Will Muschamp, Brad Scott, Sparky Woods…

They hired lou holtz before spurrier and he had success too. In fact he basically invented the wildcat.

Both were insanely great hires so far above their weight class its incomprehensible. Lets hope they arent able to pull another.

We don't have a lot of room to talk smack about our HC's. I mean Curry and Joker are two of the worst hires in the past 40 years in the SEC. Stoops is probably our best coach since Bear and I would only consider him a C or maybe B- coach in a good year. We've usually been pretty good on D but he's largely ignored offense and ST's since he's been here, not to mention the undisciplined play on the field (last year was terrible with all the late hits) and that is not the mark of an above average coach.

This right here, came very close losing to Ole Dominion at home. They had horrible QB play, Beamer may not be fired but I think he is the worst coach in the SEC, jury still out on ATM coach. He caught the vols the week Hooker got in a fight with a defender because of NIL and Chumlee left him home and a fjuke win against Clemson. And he is always throwing his kids under the bus.

 

[m080470]

And we will; its hard to get up for Southern Miss. They will be ready for SEC play.

Oh come on!! It's the first game of a 12-game season, they are completely up for the game! Maybe there'd be an argument if this was the 10th game of the season but with the opener?? Absolutely not!! If anything there are first game jitters, how are you going to do against competition, but not up for the game, no way!

Having watched both their game and ours it should be at least a two score win even if we aren't at a plus level. It's sec so it can't be an egg but at home and a solid performance we should be good. And I'm not much on hyperbole or overconfidence. That being said, Stoops has had some numbers of coaches/schools while he's been here and some coaches/schools have his. It wouldn't stun me to lay an egg because he has 1-2 each year and in spite of all logic, Beamer has gotten the best of him. So that is the only reason I am hesitant.

 

[Deli owl]

Football teams are a bad matchup for SC

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

I’m wondering if a week is too soon for an OL to gel

 

[UKWildcats1987]

This should be an easy blowout win. Let's see if Stoops can not muck it up and win by 14 to 17 at home.

Circa has -10

 

[ktbug]

Their fans are cocky, their coach is cocky. I hope we run it up on them.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Can't wait for next Saturday. Commonwealth Stadium should be full of energy also... I'll do my part and hopefully we get a cruise to victory type game.

I like the tennessee line...nc state getting too much juice for beating an over-rated fsu

NC state beat some crap team. They haven't played fsu this season. I agree UT will win easily and cover.

Agree, but on the flip side if Stoops doesn't have a case of the red ass after last year's game(very likely that is the case) he should be run out of town. We owe those clowns a beating for turning a good season into an average one.

 

[kyleb740]

Anyone counting SC as an automatic win or that we are going to boat race them needs to cool down. This will be a physical, close game. SC defense looks pretty good and opportunistic.

I hope we get after Sellers early. rFr in first road game. Can’t play off and let him get comfortable. Rattle him early and often.

Doc I think it gets ugly, early and often.
They will have no answer for our front 7 (as most teams wont).
We will shut them down just like we shut down Southern Miss.

Yea, we will live in the Cocks backfield.

 

[Hesperian Death Horse]

I would love to kick back and relax Saturday knowing a comfortable win is in store. Unfortunately I can’t, everything in me says this will be a competitive game. It doesn’t matter that the Gamecocks looked pitiful, it doesn’t matter that the Cats were rolling when the game was called. The SC matchup is usually one of the most hotly contested on the schedule. I don’t expect that to be different this year.

I hope (and think) the good guys will prevail but I’ve seen mediocre teams bow up and find success in Lexington. I’ll be happy with a 1 point win in double overtime if it comes down to that. Just get that W and move on.

Thats what Cocks do; they get cocky.

Its in Lexington. They have no chance.

Oh he will. You can tell he hates beamer. That said we are a game sc absolutely has circled and will be massively up for. Just remember last year they flew in the sandman guy just for our game. That tells you how much focus they have on us.

At the same time theyre all in on beating us, we're trying to take the next step by beating Georgia and UT.

So its a dangerous situation. Not just a trap game but a trap program so to speak.

I got it last night at 8.5 but this am it's up to 10.5 in some places

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

I think we have said the same bs about usc the last several years yet they have still handed it to us. We will need to be the more physical team to win this one. They have a decent defense
