Game Thread: Gamecocks vs. Illinois

[Caleb Alexander]

Illinois will take over on their own 24 after that boomer

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

The ball came out and there was no clear evidence that he was down or over the goalline.

Refs got it right.

 

[hahnenkampf]

and looked like he was down before the fumble. Damn right we will take it!

Offense looks very conservative

 

[Alan Cole]

Vicari Swain and Bam Martin-Scott rotating in on this drive.

 

[gamecocks247]

If D doesnt give up any more big plays, I don't see Illinois sustaining long drives.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Gamecocks called for defensive delay o game for "disconcerting signals"

 

[Alan Cole]

I assume nothing is wrong, but Judge Collier isn't wearing his helmet right now. Holding it in his hand and standing on the sidelines while Swain is in the game.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

False start a play later backs things back up. 2nd and 10 upcoming

 

[Alan Cole]

Unsportsmanlike conduct call on Vicari Swain for a late hit moves Illinois over midfield. Sloppy start for South Carolina's defense.

 

[gamecocks247]

Team needs to get keep composure. Stop the dumb stuff

 

[Alan Cole]

Shane Beamer is absolutely incredulous with the officials right now about something. Spent the entire time between plays there yelling at a side judge, was standing on the field and had to be held back by a staffer. Probably lucky he didn't get a penalty.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Illinois tries a reverse pass but South Carolina blew it up before it even started

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Altmeyer finds Franklin for 11 yards to move the sticks. Illini inside the Gamecocks 30

 

[Alan Cole]

Team needs to get keep composure. Stop the dumb stuff (Thread reply)

This is the biggest takeaway right now. South Carolina has no poise right now, including its head coach.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

3rd and 1 upcoming right around the 20 yard line

 

[Alan Cole]

Illinois converts after a measurement. Ball in the red zone.

 

[Alan Cole]

Oscar Adaway III on the bike right now.

 

[Alan Cole]

I think Illinois just scored. Altmyer escapes pressure, this Franklin in the corner and they rule him out at the 1, but it sure looked like he extended the ball over the pylon.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Wow. Altmyer with his LaNorris Sellers impression. Replay looks like a TD to me too, but the announcers mention he didn't hit the inside of the pylon to make it obvious.

 

[gamecocks247]

unfortunately, I think they will be forced to reverse the call this time.

 

[Patriot321]

If D doesnt give up any more big plays, I don't see Illinois sustaining long drives.

Sadly, that didn't age well

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Replay confirms it is a TD.

 

[cocks rule]

Replay confirms it is a TD.

Offense better get in gear NOW

 

[jonesz21]

???

 

[gamecocks247]

Sadly, that didn't age well

Yeah I was not anticipating the tackling being so bad. Plenty of game to turn it around though.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

After the extra point, the first quarter ends with Illinois leading 7-3. Momentum has definitely shifted here after it felt like the Gamecocks had control in the opening moments.

 

[Cockytalk84]

Defense looking as bad as the offense. Better do something here or it could be a long day.

 

[Alan Cole]

Good start as Sellers hits Michael Smith for a first down on the first play of the drive to move the sticks.

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

What are we doing? Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass

 

[Alan Cole]

Another crosser to Mazeo Bennett, and another first down. Good delivery by Sellers.

 

[Alan Cole]

What are we doing? Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass (Thread reply)

Receivers just can't get much separation right now, either.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Ball up to midfield on that Bennett catch

 

[uscwatson21]

I've been trying so hard to give Beamer a chance but he just looks like he's about to cry every time he complains.

 

[gamecocks247]

huge 3rd down pick up by the cocks

 

[Alan Cole]

Jawarn Howell with a burst after nobody lined up over the gap for Illinois. That's the best run of the day for South Carolina and they're into Illinois territory.

 

[Caleb Alexander]

Man. Sellers found Simon on a seam route but a well-timed hit jars it loose. Great read and throw though

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

Feed Howell.

 

[uscwatson21]

Man. Sellers found Simon on a seam route but a well-timed hit jars it loose. Great read and throw though

Just a little too high in that situation. Really what he's gotta work on most in the offseason. Ball just floats a little too much.

Simon was going to get destroyed by the safety/lb.

 

[Alan Cole]

We've seen some Maurice Brown II playing B-back today. Did it again there on third and short, and got a block in there as Adaway picks up a first down.

 

[ElectricalCock89]

So, they can keep subbing players and the clock continues? What Cuckoldry is this
