Unfortunately, I disagree. I think we're going to see the SC team of the 1970s and 1980s. Elliott has convinced me he's a Southern Conference assistant coach. Mitch looked awful last year, but more disturbing is the fact that I know some students who don't speak highly of him at all. The defense may be better, but that's not saying much. However, if you think newbies are coming in and will make an immediate impact in the SEC, you're dreaming. And, of course, we'll have the same ST and we'll have the same 3-headed offensive playing calling monster. I sincerely think we're a below .500 team this year. No superstars. No swag. Not enough elite talent. Too bad. But, that's what happens when you don't recruit for 3 years and when your HC is halfway out the door and won't make the necessary changes.
I like and admire Elliot. He has fire and drive but has had to deal with injuries. Mitch's HS stats were amazing. I hope that's the Mitch we see this year. I agree with you about the lazy recruiting during, for USC, those stellar 11-2 seasons. I also agree about HC not making the necessary changes. I just hope his mind is on FB this season and not on the golf course.
It's my understanding that we run a zone blocking scheme where linemen block in space more than trying to push people around.
yeah their taters and im sick of them hijacking every damn thread i come on and read....anyway, i would take 9-4 in a heartbeat......i really think the defense is going to be much better and surprise lots of people....i think we finish above .500
