    I don't agree. Why do you think we would lose?? Our stats are great inside the 20. I think we have as good a chance as Kentucky.

    Our stats are great with Lattimore who was lost for the game. On the otherhand our D could not stop them to save their life.

  • I'd give Johnson one game to earn that $700,000 annual salary and if he didn't fix this crap then show him the door. There is NO excuse for this garbage from the same personnel as last season.

  • I'm still stunned. Every season is like this. All week long I never bought into the "trap" game stuff for one simple reason. I truly believed we were better than Kentucky and not just a little bit better, but a LOT! First half could easily have been 42-7 but even at 28-10 we were killing them. Lattimore getting hurt didn't help but the defense was pathetic. Second half they gave up 3rd and 10, 3rd and 14, and 3rd and 13 and then on the most crucial play of the game, let who else but #18 run FREE! The pass defense looked just like the Auburn game and for some dumb reason I thought we had moved past that weak soft crap last week.

    I honestly don't know if I can put myself thru this for the rest of the year. Sucks even worse since Florida lost. It's simply amazing that every thing good that came out of last week can be thrown away in 30 minutes of football. I really am almost speechless after that performance. If you've ever seen the old Eddie Murphy/Dan Akroyd movie Trading Places that is pretty much how I felt. At the end of the movie the two old guys that Murphy/Akroyd get even with are begging to open the stock exchange back up after realizing they have just been busted.

    This will be a long miserable week but as a SC fan, I won't hear anything I haven't heard before. I hope the team let's this go cause at this point, the season could go almost anywhere. Finally we have some signs of an offense, have been much better against the run, and damned if we can't stop anyone's passing game!

    Really makes you just want to quit putting yourself thru the hassle!

  • Garcia must learn to throw the vertical short route.........incompletions of easy passes kills drives. See Kentucky and Auburn game.

  • To the Garcia fans out there...Does anyone believe we would have lost that game with Hartline as our quarterback? The 3 play sequence when we were ahead 14-0 was the best example of why Garcia drives me crazy. On first down he throws a short pass over the middle (to a WIDE open reciever) WAY too hard. On second down he badly overthows a WIDE open reciever that would have been a touchdown. Then on third down he makes an ill advised throw into coverage that cost us momentum. We had our foot on their throats and these three plays changed the entire complexion of the game. Not to mention the last 1:09 of the game. At 1:09 we get the ball...at :27
    we have run three plays with no seeming sense of urgency...We wasted a ton of time and a quarterback HAS to be your coach on the field. I don't question his grit...But a student of the game, he is not.

  • Garcia is what..1-6 on the road? I hate it cause he has played good. But that stat SUCKS

  • I have to agree. How do you loose to Cobb when you have to know that he is going to get the pass attempt. Please explain that to me. We have the players and the coaches, no excuse to not score a dam point in the second half.

    That was Maddox he threw to, and I agree he made a very hard throw. Wheel route was either run poorly or a bad throw. I really have a hard time understanding how Garcia gets the blame for the int, after Ace was blown up on the play.

  • TOTALLY AGREE WITH RICHCOCK COACING LOST THIS GAME ON DEF OUU BACKS PLAY SOFT SO WE WONT GET BEAT DEEP WELL THEY DID US DEEP ANYWAY BLOWN COVERAGE HELL THEY LOOK CONFUSED.
    ON OFF. ON OUR LAST POSSION WE USED OUR LAST TWO TIMEOUTS WHEN THE CLOCK WAS ALREADY STOPPED, WHEN DID WE GET LES MILES AS OUR COACH BECAUSE OUR CLOCK MGT WAS AWFUL.

    stevieh

  • Garcia's 1st int was not his fault, terrible play call, yes. Bad execution, hell yes! It looked as if we had 2 plays going on at the same time and you can't have that on a slip screen

  • Sorry if this is just a repeat i havent read any of the other ventilations yet! So how do our coaches not know this team by now?Maddox is not an every down back, when has he ever been? Scruggs is 5th on the rotation at WR and you want him to win the game at this juncture in his career? DL played a great game, OL played a great game, where was Miles and the change of pace back? Swearinger as a kick returner? We need to coach them up on how to stop momentum. Who is gonna make a play on defense to make that happen. This game reminded me of the UNC game a few years ago....if we dont win the east that second half will be a haunting memory until we do win it!

    Something strange happened on that play because I hardly saw Spurrier say a word to Garcia but he was all over Tori Gurley and another player. Not sure what that was about.

  • This may be the only time I can remember the coaches losing a game. Explain to me how we dominate 'Bama on defense only to get schooled by UK?! Did you see the confusion of the EJ's face on TV in the press box on the 4th and 9 (or whatever)? If there is any chance the coverage/scheme is in question on that play, call a freaking timeout, afterall its only the game on the line. No way you let Cobb run down the field without someone even noticing him. #8 didn't beat us last week, but no. 8 sure as hell beat us this week. That soft coverage is junk, especially with the way the DL was getting pressure on Hartline, why not try and give them a split second more to get to him and/or disrupt the route/timing. It was a freaking joke and UK's coaches exploited the hell out of it.
    Offensively, what in the hell has Kenny Miles done to not even get a freaking carry? And hey coach, throw the last ball to the middle of the field and get a few more yards, take the TO and let SL kick the field goal, go into OT and see what happens. What a damn joke! We don't want success, I have never seen a program more scared of succeeding.

  • That has never happen here because the dam player will not execute the plays. Spurrier did not drop the punt. He did not throw the interception. He did not call for our defensive backs to play darn near ten yards of the ball. Maybe Spurrier can play better than Garcia who seem to not be able to make simple throws.

  • Are you kidding me, Alshon will be the best dam receivers we have had at USC. Remember the one handed catch last week to change the game.

  • You are correct about the dbs and coach E earning 700gs for what?

  • If no one saw this shit coming a mile away then I don't know what to tell you.
    Carolina is a coaching graveyard. We take great coaches and turn them into pussies.
    Spurrier and Co. were a bunch of scared bitches against KENTUCKY. Let me say it again, mother f***ing KENTUCKY.
    A basketball school with some no name coach, no name QB, and a worst defense than So Miss. They have one damn player on their whole team who we obviously felt like we didn't need to pay attention to all game.
    All of the good will from Alabama is lost. Back to classic .500 football.
    Just remember, there's always next year and you can't spell medioCrity without that big ole' Carolina block C.

  • I decided not to say anything last night after my 7 yr. old daughter thought that I was half crazy for fussing at the TV. How do you logically explain such behavior to a 7 yr. old?
