Where do i start with the offense, Rico is still scared of contact. Bench him and just feed Feaster. Play calling was full of pussyfooting, the fact we didnt take advantage in the first half of their weak defensive backfield was mind boggling. Jake IS NOT a good QB, OL is trash...moving Stanley to Guard from center was terrible. Manos isnt ready he is still too small, he lived in the backfield today, also had more than a few bad snaps. Back to Jake, he just isn the guy, he cant hit an open receiver, he is always high, need to bench him for Ryan to get the PT, and seprate him and Doty; if Doty even wants to come here after that shite show today. We have to get Dak and Ulrich in the game somehow with WR screens.
Defensively, can we please learn to tackle, im not asking for much. The fact they ran all over us was due to the fact our front 7 were terrible at tackling, the same shite as last year. If Boom and Co. are as good as they say they are on the defensive front, then tell me what the frick is going on. Jam isnt a safety, he is a slot reciever, period. I know we were missing Ibe, AJ and Enagbare today on the defense but that is no excuse for the shite show they put out there.
All in all, Boom and Co. shat the bed and the defense was decent for the time they were on the field outside of rush defense. Jake has to get benched IMHO, offensively we were just garbage and a bunch of pussies playing field position. Playing not to lose instead of keeping the foot on the gas and play to win....the punts on 4th an short were complete pussy arse playcalls. We couldnt stop the run or the offense at all, but yea sure lets give them the ball back. Just a complete worthless showing across the board, in a game we had to win for this season and the future.

If one butt is in the seats next week, it's one too many. This football team and administration don't deserve our money, time and emotional investment. 34 years as a Gamecock fan and all they ever gave me was high blood pressure, a fondness for brown liquor and a coke problem.

The issue with team tackling on defense has been at USC since 2016. I think this coaching staff just is unable to teach proper fundamentals in form tackling.
Muschamp keeps harping on it, and gripes about it in post-game pressers, but to me it's like Holbrook was with team bunting. The team under Holbrook could never properly bunt in games, and towards the end of Holbrook's tenure at USC someone asked him how it could be improved, and Holbrook just shrugged his shoulders and said something like they were world champions at bunting during practices.
That told me that, perhaps how the staff teaches and prepares the team in bunting during practices was most likely the problem. So going on 4 years now Muschamp keeps griping on form tackling by the defense, but they never learn to tackle. That's got to be on the staff and their ability (or lack thereof) at getting their players to learn how to tackle.
Maybe this staff needs to wait until they have 6-7 5-star players on defense before their defenses start tackling, like they had at Auburn or Texas or Florida. That doesn't work here at South Carolina - here you actually have to do some teaching....

Jake IS NOT a good QB
man coverage isn't always his friend either. I'm still amazed he didn't get Edwards badly hurt on the late, high throw/slant in man coverage on 2&6 after Kinlaw blocked the FG.
if that ball is in Edwards' chest as soon as he turns in/cuts - there's a good chance BE blows by the Safety who clocked him - for a big gain/TD. typical Jake - bad timing with even worse placement on easy passes.
as ineffective as Bentley was on Saturday - that putrid tackling effort by the entire defense along with our 2 egotistical self-proclaimed all SEC CBs who couldn't cover a bed with a blanket was an abomination to the game of football.
overall, Muschamp is what I expected him to be when he was hired - a highly organized control freak who understands football, but has difficulty effectively coaching it during games. the way the hiring process went byeond Smart and possibly Herman, he was a 'safe' hire who could restore talent levels that were dire.
I wanted Bill Clark back then - and still want him now. he's light years better than WM as a football coach.
