This year, with this year's SCAR OLine and Davis and Wilds and Williams able to power through, yes. Now, we sometimes have a problem with Spurrier wanting to get cute but I think he learned his lesson early last season and realized the best way to handle those situations is to just line-up and bang it home. At the same time, Davis had a little fumblitis in a couple of games inside the five last year after he broke a finger. I hear he is going to wear gloves this year, but who knows
You should pay closer attention to the games.
S.Cars inability to score in that situation cost them the game.
But it wasn't Spurrier getting cute. The option playcall was flawless. The execution was pathetic. Your right tackle allowed Jordan Jenkins to trip him off the snap. The option allows you to run with numbers to the playside. But Jenkins tripping the RT messed up your numbers. Jordan Jenkins (read man) is unblocked and forces the pitch. Amarlo Herrera comes in clean (also unblocked) to stuff the play (all the right tackle had to do was chip Amarlo, but the guys was sprawled out on the grass and cost you guys the ballgame).
S.Car fans blaming Spurrier don't know what happened on that play.
Dawg fans don't give 2 flips. We won a hard fought one and are going to attempt to make it 2 in a row.

WTF? You asked and I answered "this year" and you force some last year bullshite into the conversation and try to read righteous and preachy to Gamecock fans?
Are you a woman or something?
frick you lady. You're no longer welcome here. This is a private men's club, even the skirts around here know that.

My personal opinion:
1. UGA
2. USC
3. UF
4. UT
5. Mizzou
6. UK
7. Vandy
Yes it's slightly homeristic, as 4th in the east would likely mean that Tennessee gets 7 wins which I think isn't totally unreasonable.
UK had a decent recruiting class and they'll probably make a little bit of noise soon, but not just yet. Similar situation to Tennessee, just not as good, with not quite as much young talent as we have.
Vanderbilt's switching to an entirely different defensive scheme and they don't have the personnel to run it effectively. A ridiculous amount of receiving yards are gone now too. They will get 4 wins minimum because of how soft their OOC is, but I see them struggling in SEC play. They won't be able to take advantage of a weak UGA or UF, and they're not beating Tennessee again. (If they do go ahead and call 911 as I'll likely be dead of alcohol poisoning.)
Mizzou loses a lot of personnel too. Both defensive ends, two linebackers, and both corners off the defense. They lose all three starting WRs, Offensive guard and tackle, TE, and Josey (although their other RBs are solid.)
UF is a bit of a mystery. How good is Roper? Cutcliffe is obviously the brains behind the Duke offense, but exactly how much of that can be attributed to Roper? Can Driskel finish off his career well? How are the receivers going to be? Offensive line? I know they had big struggles last year... sometimes with blocking the OTHER team. I expect the defense to still be good, especially their secondary, but their run defense might just take a step back.
USC will be really good. I'm just not sure they'll be as good as they were last year. Connor Shaw was a man's man at QB and what I've seen of Thompson I'm not convinced he'll completely be able to fill his shoes. But other than that their offense is going to be super solid with Byrd and Roland and Davis. Clowney and Quarles gone too, so I'm not sure how they're going to be on the D line. Their linebacking corps are very solid, but that secondary... looks problematic.
UGA's season will live or die by how well their offensive line plays and how well Hutson Mason can handle the QB position. The WR's are all solid, Gurley is... Gurley, and Hutson Mason is probably going to be solid, but not anywhere near Murray level. The Offensive line returns only two starters, but it's the center and a tackle so the situation isn't as bad as ours but not by a whole lot. That defense has a lot of potential though. A whole lot of experience is returning and some really good talent. That's the main reason I have them winning the east.

quote:I remember thinking that Shaw's fumble on our first drive of the second half in the red-zone was the big reason we lost but I've forgotten a lot from that game. It was on fourth down and Shaw had ran and got the first but then fumbled. Another big moment was when Bruce lost that ball in the sun and failed to make a crucial catch.
S.Cars inability to score in that situation cost them the game.
