Yep, I'm back...

I'm back and of course i will slowly fade away like i always do toward the end of the season.. I like to compare it to Clemson sports. Yep, i'm here with guns ablazing and let the shots commense. On to a couple of quick hitters...

First...The pistol is in fact designed to help the offensive line. Why more teams dont run it is an unknown but it designed to help teams that have trouble in the running game. Its sole purpose is to allow the backs to get a head of steam when approaching the line and also allow them angles for more vision to make cuts. Personally i dont know how this works but i do that is the purpose of it.

Secondly...I will agree our wide recievers are somewhat of a question mark for the offense this year, but at the same time i dont see where it is necessary for our wideouts to all be 6'4 or 6'5. Thats just something we have grown accustom too. West Virginia is a prime example of what smaller, quick recievers can be capable of (this is not a dig at Vance or Brent....well maybe a little). Plus we have 3-4 tight ends are that are more than capable of being our red zone jump ball guys as they are in that 6'4 range and extremely athletic. Expect to see a lot more 2 tight end sets for the Gamecocks this season, and also dont sleep on Shaq Roland yet. Kid has a chance to a superstar. He is only about 6'1, but he has close to a 40 inch vertical, so he is also a red zone threat once he learns the schematics of the offense. This offense has a chance to be very good, especially with Shaw calling the shots from behind center, which leads me to my third quick hitter.

Third...Shaw definitely isnt gonna WOW, but Shaw is a competitor and has shown he is more than capable of leading this offense. Everyone loves to point back to East Carolina game last year but they completely forget that he is 8-1 as a starter and really didnt perform bad in the East Carolina game. I think its pretty safe to say that he is proven.
