Let's see:
We have a kid at RB who had over 100 yards rushing on just 6 carries, yet we still insist on handing it off to another RB for 2 yards and a cloud of dust.
We come out and show really good creativity on offense, but we get inside the 10 and start running it up the middle time and time again. On one possession we were bailed out by a targeting penalty and managed a touchdown pass. On the other, we kicked a FG on 4th and 2 (after three runs up the gut) to take a lead that lasted about a minute.
The Gamecocks have a total of ONE playmaker and we chose to let him roam free instead of doubling him up and making someone else beat us. This strategy yielded a 70-yard TD pass thrown by a walk-on QB. Any one of us on this forum could have made that throw because Cooper was wide open, running free in the secondary.
We have a QB who turned the ball over 5 times today and leads the SEC in interceptions, but apparently, there's nobody better on the roster.
Bottom line is that we have beaten one really, really crappy team and one crappy team (barely). We lost today to a very beatable team, and it really wasn't as close as the score would indicate. We couldn't have scored 9 more points if we played 30 more minutes. VU will finish 2-10 this season without having won an SEC game. Some fans and the AD swill somehow be convinced that the program is on the right path, and Mason will be back to go 2-10 again next year, if we are lucky.
