Game Thread: Gamecocks vs. Illinois

[Alan Cole]

You gotta get a touchdown on this drive, and I think you should be in four down territory. I just don't think you can trust your defense to get you the ball back.

 

[Cockytalk84]

There o line is better than our d line

 

[Caleb Alexander]

McCray was nearly tackled in the backfield by O'Donnell Fortune, but he escapes and scampers into the endzone. Heck of a drive by Illinois. 7:27 of game clock, 12 plays, 75 yards. It's 21-17 Illini now with 7:29 to go

 

[cockofdawn]

They got a couple crazy plays for first downs, but still the defense is getting pushed around.

Defense getting destroyed

 

[Cockytalk84]

I don’t think we have the ability to make a long scoring drive here. Hope I’m wrong

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Gamecocks take over on their own 25

 

[Alan Cole]

Commercial, kickoff, commercial. Sigh.

 

[Cockytalk84]

Sellers needs to take the game in his hands here, or his feet….

Even if we do we can’t stop anything. Need a 7:29 drive ending in a td or we lose

 

[LumbeeSon]

Hope it’s just anxiety but I have a feeling someone is about to make a big pressure mistake and that’s going to determine the game. Hopefully we march and score and Illinois makes the mistake.

 

[Alan Cole]

Sellers to Simon for a gain of 24, and the Gamecocks are over midfield.

 

[Alan Cole]

Another 17 to Harbor. This is a drive.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Something to be said for scoring quickly and having a shot to hold it last? Don't think you're holding it 6 more minutes regardless

 

[Alan Cole]

Man, Adaway with a HUGE carry on 3rd and 2, moving the sticks with a gain of seven.

 

[Cockytalk84]

What a no class coach and team…we quit subbing so now they are faking injuries.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Illinois "injury" after the 1st down. Gamecocks on the 13 with 4:36 to go

It may be a real injury of course. Just conveniently timed

 

[LumbeeSon]

Illinois team playing “injury” garbage is classless. Letting defense get their wind.

I can almost guarantee you win or lose that Shane will say something about this in post-game like Ole Miss. He's pretty upset on the sidelines right now.

 

[Cockytalk84]

If the ncaa would make a rule that an injured player has to sit out for three plays it would stop all this bs

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Sellers picks up 3 on 1st down. Ball around the 10

 

[Alan Cole]

4th and 4 from the 7. This is probably the game.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Dangerous throw to Simon comes up short. Could have easily been intercepted. 3rd and 7 now.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

(Alan's is the more updated text)

 

[LumbeeSon]

Game over

 

[LumbeeSon]

Pressure mistake

 

[gamecocks247]

got to make a better pass than that.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Holy cow. Selllers had Simon in the end zone. Pass was a little low and behind him. It was there. Just off.

 

[Cockytalk84]

Guess all the Sellers superstar talk went to his head. Easy TD and he wiffs on the pass

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Still two timeouts and 3 minutes to go. Defense has to make a play

 

[Alan Cole]

Third-and-2 for Illinois coming up after the two-minute warning. Pretty much the game here.

 

[LumbeeSon]

Hope I’m wrong and a miracle happens

 

[Cockytalk84]

Maybe this is why we went after a NIL qb

Trash team, trash coach, trash state. Wouldn’t expect anything less from em

 

[Cockytalk84]

Sellers has no touch on the ball. Basically a running back playing QB

I never respected this coach or this program, bu this is bush league!!

Agree. Never play em again

 

[Alan Cole]

Gamecocks don't fit the run, McCray goes for 60 and South Carolina is on life support.

 

[LumbeeSon]

That was the nail in the coffin. Defense is in trouble for next year without Kennard.
