He's been elusive in almost every game. He has good size and speed but he's a redshirt freshman and made some poor decisions and bad throws at key moments in tight games. Tonight he looked ready and the offensive play calling worked better. It also helps that our receivers/tight ends have improved week by week and we are finally getting to know which guys can catch and run.
That's the SEC though. Just when you think it's all downhill...it's actually uphill. Maybe even Mississippi State will get that elusive conference win this season?
It's the best defense top to bottom that I have ever seen at SC and it's a one season unit. Clayton White has a lot of holes to fill for next season. Kudos to Coach Loggains for getting the offense on track and I hope it continues in the last three games. Coach Beamer has done a good job of keeping the team positive for every game even after so many tough losses.
I would love to see SC whoop Clemson this season in their stadium.
Can someone tell me what Coach Freeze is good at? I haven't paid much attention to him over the years so I don't know much about him.
You might also explain why Coach Elko keeps going for it on 4th and One. Does he usually do this or is he telling himself that "It's just Carolina. We can get a yard on them."?
I hope the game will be as good as the atmosphere and expectations. I don't know which South Carolina will take the field. Our defense is always good but not always dominant and our offense is inconsistent. Looking forward to it.
We have no idea whether good South Carolina or bad South Carolina is suiting up for Saturday's game.
I would like to add the South Carolina Defense to this list.
Kentucky below Oklahoma seems a bit off to me but it looks like he went with Win-Loss record so far. I don't think it will end up that way at the end of the season. Oklahoma probably has one win left (Maine), and Kentucky could have three or four more (Auburn, Murray State, and Louisville).
I don't think of Mizzou that way, but we faced them in the SEC East every season and we have a Columbia vs Columbia trophy challenge that they have usually won. If your team was in the SEC West, then I can see why you may not have noticed Mizzou as much.
Coach Beamer's seat isn't hot but there are lots of fans that want him to fire his OC. I'm not sure yet. It is tough to judge this offense when it is so young and makes so many mistakes. The kids have good size, raw talent, and potential. They seem to be improving. Let's see how the last five games go.
I think we'll be flagged for Unnecessary Roughness by our Social Media team. They do a lot of great work but this one seems a poor choice. Kicking them in the nuts when they are already down on the deck?
Oklahoma has a depleted O-Line and receiver corps to support a freshman and a sophomore at quarterback. It's not a winning combination for navigating the SEC. They got the win against Auburn and that might be their only conference win this season since they don't get to face Mississippi State. If Coach Venables can scratch out another SEC win, I will tip my hat to him.
We just have to take whatever we get this season. We don't seem to get a good offense and a good defense in the same year. Coach Beamer may not always look like a champion, but he has shown that he can recruit and he can keep the team motivated. They seem to roll with the punches really well.
He has a $44.8 million dollar buyout so I think he is safe this season. Plus OU has so many injuries to receivers and the O-Line. You might want a new OC though. Arnold was much better than Hawkins and should have started that game. Hawkins kept targeting receivers covered by Emmanwori, which is not smart football. SC's other secondary players are much easier to deal with. I don't know how much of that was Hawkins' decision or whether the coaches failed to tell him not to challenge Emmanwori.
This kid is probably looking to start immediately and we will still have LaNorris Sellers in 2026. Not saying it is impossible that he ends up at Carolina but it looks highly unlikely to me.
I am looking forward to watching this one. One of these teams is going to fix its mistakes for this game and one won't. If Bama is the loser, will DeBoer be on the hot seat? I am sure he stays for this season, even if he somehow lost to Auburn or failed to make the playoff, but would he get a full second season? If the Vols lose, I think Heupel is safe, even if UT misses the playoff. Nico gets another offseason to improve his game and the Rocky Top faithful hope for better next year.
"South Carolina’s defense is vastly improved this season with Kennard as the centerpiece." I wouldn't call Kyle Kennard the centerpiece. The SC defensive line is full of studs and very capable backups. It's the deepest and best line that I have seen at SC in 40 years of watching them. Kennard on Finebaum was careful not to call himself the anchor of the defense. The pundits don't mention Tonka Hemingway, Boogie Huntley, Goodwine, Sanders, Barrett, Jules, and the others but they are a very solid unit that has great teamwork and chemistry. In years past, teams could beat our edges by just running between the tackles. That doesn't happen with this unit.
Just go with the more mobile QB. SC's defense is really good and their front four will flush the QB a lot. If he's got good legs and can throw on the run, he is the best QB option. Meanwhile, SC's offense is bad so OU's stout defense should keep OU in the game.
We all hope he gets better soon. He's rock solid and we need him but not until he is healthy enough to play. No need to risk his future for the beating we are going to take this Saturday.
I think we are stuck with him until the end of his contract. He's very positive, the fanbase likes him, and the team recruits and retains players reasonably well in the NIL era. Like Dabo at Clemson, Beamer needs great coordinators to succeed. Our DC is decent and our OC isn't. Having said all that, if Beamer beats Clemson a few times due to a miracle, he will be at Carolina for another ten years or more. We are not a sane SEC program, any coach that beats Clemson is a good coach, by default.
He had to watch Pittsburgh get good this season while we are trending downward and might not make a bowl game this year. We need two wins from our games versus A&M, Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Vandy. I am not feeling Cocky that we will get those two wins.
The good news for Coach DeBoer is that he gets the Gamecocks as a get well game. Our offense looks even worse than it did under Muschamp and Bobo. The bad news is that the Gamecocks are a Jekyll and Hyde team so good luck guessing which version shows up this Saturday. Never bet on a Gamecock football game ought to be a law somewhere.
I had the same reaction. Do these writers even watch the games that they write about?
It looks like a fun day of football. Maybe Coach Kiffin and company are already looking ahead to the LSU game because the pundits have already named them the winners of tomorrow's game. What's the worst thing that could happen to Ole Miss in Columbia S.C. tomorrow?
Open Date is the perfect time to remember that we all miss The Pirate.
Kentucky's defense is a lot better than Vandy's. The Big Blue offense is better if Brock has time to throw. Kentucky has better runners and receivers. Pavia is a better dual-purpose QB and might be a better decision maker. I will wait until we face Vandy to take a hard look at him.
I would like to see Coach Kiffin "miss the moment" again this weekend. After that, he can win all the games he wants, and I won't mind.
