Why does you heart say that? He has a great career record, and can you really put last year's Florida loss on him? Honestly, that is the only game that is unforgivable. LSU dominated you guys in Death Valley last year, but they were coming off a close loss on the road versus Florida while South Carolina was coming down from an emotional high versus Georgia.
First of all, LSU didn't dominate. That score was 23-21. It was a back-and-forth nail biter.
Shaw threw two picks in that game. His early fumble against UF set the tone for that game and opened up the flood gates. He didn't play particularly well against an average defense at Fayettenam in 2011. To this point, his signature wins on the road are in 2011 against an average MSU bunch and a dogshit UTK team missing its starting QB.
Shaw is damn near unbeatable at home. But he doesn't even have the signature win on the road that Thompson has. Quite frankly, he's been downright bad on the road. Maybe he shines through, plays well, and rings UGA's bell. But my heart tells me we're starting the wrong QB.

He gives us the run game element that we don't get with Thompson. Thompson can run, but he's no Shaw.

We are starting the leader of our offense.
Now if he isn't up to par with HBC's expectations... We will see the deep ball from DT.
The game has me nervous, but in all reality every game makes me nervous.. I have been a Gamecock for a looong time.

I understand your sentiments regarding Shaw now. Thanks for the clarification.
You might want to revisit the Box Score of the LSU game. I watched it, and I know that LSU outplayed you. There is a general formula for winning in the SEC.
A. You've got to be able to slow down the run.
B. You've got to be able to run the ball effectively.
South Carolina averaged 1.4 yards per rush versus LSU on 25 attempts. South Carolina only had 211 yards compared to LSU's 406. South Carolina made the final score of the game with less than 2 minutes to go to make the score 23-21 instead of 23-14. Texas A&M, Alabama, and Clemson all scored on late drives versus LSU too. It was a problem LSU had, but it doesn't take away from their dominance of South Carolina, Texas A&M, and (to an extent) Alabama.
