To be honest

I was a little worried about strength and conditioning in the first half. They was obviously tired in the 2nd qtr. There are reasons for it however. Vandy got the ball first and had a little drive. South Carolina comes out and turns it over first play, puts defense back out on field. Vandy drives a little more before a pick that was returned about 50 yds. The whole defense is running down field to block. Carolina gets ball back again Shaw throws a quick pick, defense is back out on the field. The defense was gassed in the 2nd qtr. You would have to have seen the game to really understand why. They stayed on the field a lot. After halftime they didn't look tired at all. They looked like they did last season. I think we are fine S&C wise.

I also understand that Spurrier has to pass. But when the pass isn't working and the run is working.. I think you stick with the run. Pass blocking was terrible, run blocking wasn't bad at all. Pass blocking is a big concern as of right now. Of course Vandy was pinning their ears back all night. Shaw never had more than 3 seconds in that game and getting 3 seconds was rarity. Most of the time he had to run.

I'm not discouraged at all. We got the win and that's what matters. We have concerns but we now know what they are and the team and coaches can address them.
