"at the end of the game everyone knew that they were not that much better than us or better than us at all." - Jake

that is what this Team needs and "Tanneyhill" like attitude at QB, gonna be a fun year y'all."at the end of the game everyone knew that they were not that much better than us or better than us at all." - Jake
Obviously, Clemson was WAY ahead of us (we were WAY ahead of them before Spurrier quit working, etc.), and we're in the process of closing the gap that was created then! Also, it doesn't take much to get them riled up with bulletin board material - it's perfectly ok for THEM to belittle us & make fun but NEVER say anything derogatory about them - but there's also nothing wrong with Jake Bentley trying to build some confidence in his teammates. He was asked the question and, to me, that's what he's doing - why think less of yourself and build up your rival? Hopefully, we ARE closing the gap and can compete better this year & move on up for the future, but I like Jake's positive attitude and hope it passes through our team ( and fans)!!We didn't belong on the same field.
I like the confidence but yeah...it was an epic whooping. Maybe he meant the year before."at the end of the game everyone knew that they were not that much better than us or better than us at all." - Jake
WRONG.... I am Glad Clowney, Swearinger,Shaw, etc etc didnt feel like you doI think it's great if he comes out and says something like, "We're going to close the gap with those guys. We won't get beat like that again." To say they're just as good when they're a 6-7 team that got blown out 56-7 by a 14-1 National Championship team just hurts the Gamecocks because it gives the players a false sense of how much they actually need to improve to beat them.
I almost had a knee jerk reaction before watching the video. But after watching it , it wasnt that bad. Look for tater tots to hyperventilate over it.

Give the young man a break...he is free to say whatever he likes...who cares how the bleeping taters feel about it..Heck they claimed they were better than us when we were smacking them by double digits 5 seasons in a row...
Jake is a very proud competitor...He and others in the program are working hard to get our program where it needs to go
Must have felt different on the field because in the stands and on TV it was a complete out-matched butt-whipping.
There's a difference between optimism with a positive uplifting attitude and delusion. It would be one thing to pledge to never get outworked and beat like that again. But to say the two teams are close, and that everyone knows it falls into the delusional category.
Confidence is good. But I'll chalk this up to inexperience in front of the camera.

Yeah that would be like saying Florida state is close to Louisville after Louisville beat da hell out of them.
He is doing what a leader does. I will say this, he did NOT want to go back in the second half of that game. I don't even blame him.
In 1975, South Carolina beat Clemson 56-20. No freshman on that SCar team would beat Clemson again.
1966 Notre Dame Humiliated Southern Cal with a 51-0 shutout. SoCal won the next year and they tied the next two years.
In 1968, Ohio State beat Michigan 50-14. Michigan won the next year and two out of three following that stomp-down.
1997, Florida beat FSU 52-20. FSU won 3 out of the next 4.
2008 Okie beat Nebraska 62-28. Nebraska won the next year.
2012 Oklahoma beat Texas 63-21. Texas won the next year and two out of three following that stomp-down.
Of course, I still feel like:
some on here would have rather him said, "clemson was so much better than us, they kicked our ass up and down the field, i dont see us competing with them anytime in the near future"I like it...
Don't be afraid, just embrace it and Jake being Cocky is what we need...
WRONG.... I am Glad Clowney, Swearinger,Shaw, etc etc didnt feel like you do
Tell Tom Brady that..
WTH?? noone said Carolina could have beaten Clempson, that day, We are saying we love his bravado!!Is everything posted in here troll bait? My God yall take things so personal or want to argue about anything.
To say we were anywhere close to Clemson is absurd. They could've scored 100 on us that day
Anything that pisses off Clemson is fine by me.
