Whewww!!!!!!

Thats about what you can say after a game like that.

Its certainly gonna require more than one post. Especially being still shell shocked.

The good and the bad. Thats what we saw from the Tigers today. We say the team we want to be and the team we don't. Spence sure fooled me. I thought we needed deep passes to back Fla State off the line. He proved we didn't by using untraditional run plays and the infamous misdirection. Some pretty damn good stuff in the first half. Vic did what I knew we needed to do, in the first half. Use our speed to blitz. WOW! How many people do we have that seem to be almost unstoppable on a blitz???? It was hard to count them all. I couldn't keep up. But the biggest shocker on a BLITZ???? Didn't see it coming I knew the kid was gonna be special, Diandre Mcdaniel? Blitzing?

Classic when Bowden said Ricky Sapp says he will be better than Gaines Adams and tonight we will see. Less than 2 seconds later, knabbed a very good Fla State RB Smith for a big loss. Players with Unbelievable athletic ability and speed coming in every direction. Who you gonna block? Sapp, Mcdaniel, Scott, Vincent, Billie, the list goes on and on. As a whole on first glance, no better blitzing package in college football.

In the past when things fall apart it has often been hard for me to pinpoint what happened. Not so tonight. Bothe Vic and Rob had an awesome gameplan. What the hell happened? They went away from it. How do you stop the offense? What can you do to screw things up? Go away from the misdirection and start passing. Granted, we wanted to see Harper. But, that in nutshell is what happened. He changed his gameplan. Defensively, Smith looked one step away all night. In the first half someone was there to grab him as soon as he touched the ball and Weatherford was running for his life. So how do you mess that up? Drop back and stop blitzing. At the end we simply went back to the original gameplan and won the game.

Being my first post, this all could be a blessing in disguiss. Hell, we won our first game against FSU and are 1 and 0 in the ACC. We have a couple of weeks to hone things up. But the blessing is learn now! Even when you play lesser teams. Use your strengths! Blitzing and misdirection. Not unneccessary passes and conservative defense, lead or no lead, stick to it! It will work!

Hopefully these two learned, with all that speed, nothing about this team should be conservative. OPINIONS? GAMECOCKS??? Gameday has come and gone boys, time to get to posting.
