Grading the Gamecocks


This is something I am going try for every clemson and carolina game this year, so tell me if you think its a good idea.

Offense: C+ State's defense wreaked havoc on South Carolina's offensive line. Mitchell looked very average a lot of times. The team never sustained a drive all night. This is where Carolina has to improve if they are to win games against SEC teams. Cory Boyd is a good running back and proved it last night.

Defense: A- I thought the defense was fast and aggressive and seemed to swarm the ball. The secondary played okay, but the front 7 were dominant for much of the night. Jasper Brinkley had a great game. The only negatives were the multitude of missed tackles and Mississippi State's offense being horrible, but to agree with Ryan (oh no) anytime you go on the road in the SEC and pitch a shutout you're doing pretty good.

Special Teams A+ Ryan Succop kicked 3 field goals, punted very well, and had a huge first down conversion on a blocked punt. Is it a good thing for the Cocks that a kicker was their best player?

Finally: Those damned cowbells should be outlawed!
