Spurrier believes .... well, dammit, I promised not to repeat the secondhand quote but lemme think .... thus team has "winner" issues and lacks leadership on the field. I think I can say that and get away with it. There is going to be a team meeting. May have already happened by the time I am posting this - if not, it is about to.

Well ... it happened: https://sports.usatoday.com/2014/10/09/gamecocks-hold-playersonly-to-clear-air/

If you haven't read that - it's pretty vanilla.

Now for the rest of the story.

From what I understand there are still some issues that only winning are going to fix.

And we're going to be running the ball a bunch more.

Some of the younger guys are stepping-up too and becoming more vocal - because, evidently, the older guys, (other than one or two), were not getting it done in the leadership department.

ETA: There are some respect issues. Some of the younger guys are out-working some of the older guys. There is a claim that some of the older guys are just waiting to declare, blah blah blah whatever ... but it makes sense.

This is turning-out to be a transition year. The chemistry mantra thing - that was all hogwash obviously. Now they've got their backs to the wall and it's "sink or swim," direct quote.
