Gamecocks and Turnovers

[nismo29630]

Just a interesting stat. The Gamecocks rank tied for 13 in the NCAA in Turnover Margin according to http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/29 and third in the SEC. The two teams ahead of us, Kentucky and Alabama, at tied with us with 13 takeaways. I am sure last week helped but I like how the defense is trending. Now we need to make hell for Tennessee this Saturday to make that number even better.

Problem is have a hard time capitalizing. We are awful at placekicker and o line. Makes red zone production difficult.

Good point BUT so much for celebrating the good news

Not sure what it takes to say anything positive for some of the posters on this board. SMH

I think the aggressive style we play on defense has contributed to that. You saw it a little bit last year and this year you're seeing more of it. If we can ever get some d-line depth and some luck with avoiding injuries we should be back to the days of having a stout defense like we enjoyed for years. This is easily the best defense we've had in 4 years by far.

OLine showed improvement last week. They were firing off the ball getting an advantage on the DL. Hopefully that will continue and will lead to a better 3rd down conversion rate as the coaches get more confidence in them.

PK does well inside 40 yards. Just can't venture outside that. He's got a strong leg, but is inaccurate as hell.

actually i think that is incorrect as far as placekicker....pretty sure about all his misses have been long attempts over 40 yrds

That's correct.
