Toledo showed our vulnerability to a well executed outside screen pass. This is generally a reflection of shortcomings at linebacker and corner.

I also agree with the above statements regarding Mauk's decision making. It is reminiscent of Franklin's first year (remember the first half of Mizzou v. kU in 2011?).

Besides the things that have been mentioned, I'll say the DTs. Teams with a good RB can hurt us up the middle. If you noticed, the one Florida TD drive was 6 plays, mostly right up the middle for chunks of yards each time. For some inexplicable reason, they went back to the air the next time they had the ball. This happened in the Georgia game too. South Carolina has a great RB (Evans, I think), and I hope our DTs and line backers can step up to stop that guy.

I'm also concerned a bit about the secondary, and a lot about Mauk. He's still a RSfreshman, prone to mistakes, and this is a good team he's going to see Saturday. This will be a tougher game. If our OL doesn't have an answer, Clowney will get in Mauk's head and make for a long day.

We need to tackle better. Letting runners and receivers get so many yards after first contact is not acceptable.

I will say Penton did a pretty good job and stopping those passes for losses or little gain. Will him and Gaines play at the same time? Will Gaines play?
