South Carolina Georgia

From: Austin


A win is a win, and for those Fighting Gamecock fans who have seen this game before, this is how the other side feels. How many times have the Garnet and Black thoroughly beaten an opponent, only to lose in the end due to a big play from an opposing playmaker? Not anymore! My friend turned and said, "This is how LSU wins"! Some thoughts from the game:
1) Blair Walsh's missed FG in the first quarter turned out to be much larger than thought at the time.
2) Who was Justice Cunningham supposed to block on the fake punt? He lined up behind Ingram and trailed him the entire play.
3) Our Spur backers, Allen and Holloman, completely shut down the Dogs best player, TE Orson Charles.
4) Gotta feel good about Jay Wooten
5) The Dogs found success running up the middle until Bryon "Chocolate Chip" Jerideau got in the game.
6) Need a second and third receiver badly. Barnes, Moore, anyone?
7) Never said this under this staff, but they were outcoached. shouldn't happen again.

A win is a win. Next victim......Navy

Ace Sanders takes a punt back for a TD

From: Benjamin

Ace Sanders nearly gave me the Big One last night when he notched the Gamecocks' first punt return for a TD since Chavez Donnings ran one back against Florida in 2003. Talk about a shocker, rarely have the Gamecock returners even been close to the endzone. Everytime they do, there is a flag. Thankfully, the officials did not flag freshman Kadetrix Marcus for a block in the back that occurred well behind the play and gave Sanders no advantage. That would've have been doubly bad for Marcus, who was already flagged for one special teams penalty. Special teams wins championships, and success there has been sorely lacking for a long time. Now, if we can just not fumble any more punts-Sanders seems be the answer there as well. Next up, a kick return TD. Mathew Thomas has the last one at Virginia in 2002.
