Connor Shaw was the main cog in those South Carolina teams during those years. Spurrier and Clowney get a lot of the limelight, but without Shaw, those years would have been subpar for the Gamecocks.


The defense and Lattimore were great. Spurrier single handedly cost Lattimore millions by quite literally running him until he broke.

That guy is a classic example of why - if you’re a blue chip RB — you should pick a college with other great tailbacks around you so you don’t have to carry the rock 40 times a game and risk ruining your career.

Yeah, a dirty hit by a Tennessee player blew up Lattimore's knee, not Spurrier.

This is a bad bad bad take.

His first injury was a freak accident while blocking. The second was a high low hit. Neither of those were from running too much. Any running back first carry or 1000th would have torn ACL's on both those instances. it was unlucky
