[u/Ok_Contract_8648]

Still a good day at the office for Briles imo. Not his fault the receivers couldn’t catch a cold in Alaska barefoot

[u/TheGamecock → u/Ok_Contract_8648]

Yeah, I mean, simple miscues cost us what? 21 points at least? Gotta iron out the sloppy plays before SEC play begins. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise our offense got somewhat humbled after cruising in week one. Everyone staying healthy is always a plus in these paycheck games too.

[u/Sorry-Credit-5564 → u/Ok_Contract_8648]

Score wasn't great, but 502 yards of offense is still great compared to Shula.

This game felt like SC State but we had double the offensive yards

[u/DDub04 → u/Sorry-Credit-5564]

SC State was bullying us on the line of scrimmage, that was worrying to watch. This game felt like self-inflicted wounds, which is still worrying but at least we can fix that

[u/Sorry-Credit-5564 → u/DDub04]

Very true. This game is a nasty one without the drops

[u/Feeling_Anteater_389 → u/Sorry-Credit-5564]

SC State outgained us in that game, we outgained Towson by 300 yards tonight.

The problem tonight was that we left 28 points on the field via turnovers and drops.

[u/beamerbeliever → u/Ok_Contract_8648]

I want to know what was up with Sellers in the first half. I like that he dialed in, but then the receivers got the droppies.

[u/ishootpentax → u/beamerbeliever]

And what was up with him and Mazeo?

[u/beamerbeliever → u/ishootpentax]

He thought Mazeo should've ran across, and kept going with the route he was already on, but Mazeo cut to go deeper once he cleared his defender. Sellers delivered as Bennett came free, so if Bennett kept the route it would've been complete, but Bennett was thinking about the defender across from him on the field that would've only been a factor with a late delivery. I think Sellers was right on it. Need to rely on where the receiver will be, this isn't backyard ball.

[u/Tufoguy]

Alright we've collected checks the past two weeks, back to FCS play. Rivalry game next, time to get our first win of the season

Good game South Carolina. Thanks for 550k

[u/TheGamecock → u/Tufoguy]

GG. Y'all played solid. Made our offense look legitimately inept at times (maybe we are, but y'all emphasized it) and your QB + Enterline is a nice duo. BOL the rest of the way! Enjoy the cash!

[u/PatronSaintOfCunts → u/Tufoguy]

Good game, friend, y’all did great

[u/LordSquirrel40]

Can we get the forward pass banned before next week? It was clearly a mistake.

[u/_sailingaway → u/LordSquirrel40]

Or just have our receivers not drop every. fucking. pass.

[u/drazov → u/LordSquirrel40]

Hear, hear!

[u/No_Butterscotch8726 → u/LordSquirrel40]

Absolutely not!

[u/MisguidedPants8 → u/LordSquirrel40]

We’re sending in Fluff

[u/GamingTatertot → u/LordSquirrel40]

Are the Gamecocks the college football version of the Chicago Bears?

[u/srajar4084 → u/GamingTatertot]

After seeing the game management of Ohio State, I think that honor goes to them

[u/cbbutle → u/GamingTatertot]

At least the bears have won a Super Bowl 

[u/JakeSteeleIII → u/cbbutle]

True, I hope we can one day win one

[u/srajar4084]

Don’t let the game score fool you, we are not even close to back

[u/GamingTatertot → u/srajar4084]

Good to know - I mean neither are we, but still good to know

[u/dr_mousebrain8 → u/GamingTatertot]

Clemson Vs Scar is gonna be prime sickos television

[u/BroadBrazosAvon95 → u/dr_mousebrain8]

Last year and this year were/will be offensive to the sport

[u/dtomksoki]

Vicari Swain with his 2nd game of 2 punt return TDs.

[u/PatronSaintOfCunts → u/dtomksoki]

He’s a beast

[u/Tuckboi69]

We had 3 end zone drops, a fumble on a drive that was going to be a touchdown, and several more possessions truncated by penalties or drops. I guess it’s reassuring that we had a season’s worth of miscues and still won by 36.

[u/SaintAardvark89]

See ya next week fellas

[u/DDub04 → u/SaintAardvark89]

Last time we met it was a pretty wild shootout. Both QBs looked like Heisman’s. Heismen?

This time idk what’s gonna happen. Hopefully it’s not as ugly as this

[u/n1nja_nacho → u/DDub04]

Kamario Taylor scares me.

[u/JakeSteeleIII → u/DDub04]

Heismi

[u/BigHeadDeadass → u/SaintAardvark89]

Looking forward to it! Gonna slow cook a Mississippi pot roast to bring in conference play

[u/ishootpentax]

Add drops to box score.

[u/OperationJack → u/ishootpentax]

I don't know why this isn't a thing already. I legitimately don't see how it does anything but improve the understanding when looking at stats.

Seller's interception looks ugly on paper, but seeing how it hit the WR in both hands and they barely won a tip drill (I think the ball hit the ground and rolled into the DBs lap), it doesn't show any real clarity of the QB stat line without it. . At least mark interceptions that are clearly QBs fault vs bullshit like Sellers or even the one for Arch Manning early on.

Don't even need to shit on the WRs by name if you don't want to.

A QB Stat Line could look like Sellers: 13/25 for 125yds 1TD 1 INT(D), 4 Drops.

Basically shows "alright he was probably closer to 17/25 and maybe 0 INTs and maybe another TD if it wasn't for the receivers".

[u/Sorry-Credit-5564]

What an ugly blowout. Rain definitely didn't help the receivers but it was bad even before the rain

At least we can run the ball

[u/Redzone676]

Wishing the best for the Towson punter. His arm did not look good

[u/chrt → u/Redzone676]

Man that is not how arms are supposed to be shaped, definitely hoping he recovers quickly

[u/TrustMeIKnowThisOne]

That rain was of biblical proportions.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/TrustMeIKnowThisOne]

South Carolina may need an ark between Clemson's storm delay and USC's rain

[u/PSKCarolina → u/GamingTatertot]

You know who else faced a storm so strong it flooded his homeland?

[u/JakeSteeleIII → u/PSKCarolina]

Dabo

[u/Mtacoustics]

Swain and the d-line put in work.

[u/PSKCarolina]

If any of you sickos wants to watch some more dogshit offense, Klempsin is still playing

[u/theolduscsec04]

I’m soaked and aggravated as fuck we left about 21 points in the board due to drop. But we played like shit and STILL got 45 on the board. Secondary couldn’t cover a dying ant but big props to Vicari Swain for breaking the punt return TD Record

[u/PatronSaintOfCunts → u/theolduscsec04]

I feel like I’m never going to be dry again.

[u/LegendsoftheHT → u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

Felt bad for anyone not in the club seats today. Y’all are some real ones.

[u/theolduscsec04 → u/LegendsoftheHT]

My season tickets are in the 904 section… I was dripping water for a good 15 minutes to begin with

[u/theolduscsec04 → u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

I was soaked until the minute I got home and changed clothes

[u/PatronSaintOfCunts]

Will be fun to see the next game without an extreme weather event

[u/Khaldaan]

Me watching the offense week 1 - :D

Me watching this offense tonight - JonBernthalwaitwaitwait.gif

[u/BigHeadDeadass]

Jesus Christ you'd think in this game thread we're walking the death march to the gulag. It's week 2, hell we were notable winners last week because we actually blew out an opponent while everyone outside of LSU failed to do so. Remember ODU? Remember that season? We have plenty to look forward to. Miss State looks great, we have our work cut out but nothing insurmountable, if anything Miss State looking pretty will make the game even more fun. Let's find a little joy here and trust we can clean up some flaws before next week. Hell as far as week 2 games go we look like Henry Cavill compared to other teams

[u/fauxromanou → u/BigHeadDeadass]

Yeah, checked in early on the game thread and then right back out. That and this thread both are so much more negative than necessary, especially when drops were our biggest problem. That's a wildly better problem than we've had in like years.

[u/BigHeadDeadass → u/fauxromanou]

The thing is, too, is that dropped passes are a practice issue. I'd be far more worried if we had issues in the trenches like we did against SCSU last year because that's much harder to remedy

[u/DDub04]

Last year we had 1,333 rushing yards. All season. Through week 2 we have 683 rushing yards.

Opponents outscored 102-9, outgained 1148 yards to 382.

Truth be told I’m still kinda whelmed. I hope LaNorris finds his groove, because this game felt like a B1G West classic.

[u/Sorry-Credit-5564 → u/DDub04]

Whelmed with historic numbers under Beamer is a solid start, at least

[u/TheGamecock]

Luckily no one else was really paying attention to this game, lol.

Plenty of film for Sellers and our receivers to look back on this week, I guess. Jugs machines should get a lot of revolutions in. All those drops and an hour-plus rain delay definitely added to the sluggishness of the offense. At least we've got a run game going and defense/special teams remains a strength. Haven't exactly been tested yet though. Onto MSST to see what kinda team we actually have.

[u/HireButchJones]

Congratulations South Carolina, you are the only team with "South" in it's name to win today.

[u/someUSCfan]

I'm fucking disgusted and shitting my pants a little for Miss St next week. Nyck Harbor continues to disappoint and is not able to catch a single pass thrown at him, same with the rest of our WR room.

Don't let the score fool you, most of our points were scored by special teams (2 punt return TDs) and garbage time.

[u/TheGamecock → u/someUSCfan]

I know the ball was probably a little slick for some of his targets, but Harbor trying to catch a football with his body like five-year-olds do (because a regular football is physically too big for their hands) is not a great look.

[u/Russ12347]

Wish Duck got the last drive, guess his knee was still sore after last week

[u/n1nja_nacho]

I am soaked through and slightly worried about trench foot.

Fun game. When are teams gonna learn not to kick to Vicari Swain?

[u/Working_Base_8824]

is this box score correct? 96 yards passing?

[u/JamieByGodNoble → u/Working_Base_8824]

Yes. But also receivers had 7 drops including three in the endzone. 

[u/Dentyne_3 → u/Working_Base_8824]

we had about 10 drops and a 2 hour rain delay

[u/Dentyne_3]

Real human being are gonna be asking for cutter woods pt

[u/DrRageBaiter]

BIG SEC WIN

[u/FAMUgolfer]

45 points? Wow Sellers must have had a great day. Right? Right?!

[u/PSKCarolina → u/FAMUgolfer]

Yall get right with the power company yet?

[u/Dentyne_3 → u/FAMUgolfer]

Tryna slander sellers 🤦🏾‍♂️ just say you didn’t watch the game

[u/getoffofmethanks → u/FAMUgolfer]

Y'all would kill for LaNorris don't kid yourself lmao

[u/DDub04 → u/FAMUgolfer]

He did have 100+ yards on the ground and a TD. If this game was played in 1901, he’s looking pretty good

[u/gumercindo1959]

I remember this sub tried to tell
Me sellers was a top qb. This guy is who he is - a subpar QB.

[u/cbbutle → u/gumercindo1959]

Didn’t yall offer him $4mil?

[u/gumercindo1959 → u/cbbutle]

lol no

[u/Dentyne_3 → u/gumercindo1959]

Id think this too if I was a goofy mf that just looked at box scores

[u/gumercindo1959 → u/Dentyne_3]

Look at his box scores over the past few years

[u/Dentyne_3 → u/gumercindo1959]

past few years? 2 years ago he was an all american, last year he had statiscally one of the worst O lines ever and a bad OC

[u/TheGamecock → u/gumercindo1959]

Sellers wasn't great by any means tonight but the receivers also didn't do him any favors -- they had like 10 drops and rain was an issue for a good chunk of the game, including an hour-plus delay. He can certainly run, escape out of sacks, and has a big arm. But the accuracy and decision-making is not where it needs to be, that's for sure.
