And the X factor is how well our coaches have developed these guys. We have no other choice than to sit back until tomorrow night to see if these guys underachieved for Spurrier and company. From the reports, we had harder practices, have a better coaching staff, and better overall player development. Many of the players on the team were studs in high school, so you would think with the right development, they should be able to achieve good results. Sounds like Boom and company do not care what year you are in, he wants results, and plans to put players on the field that will produce.
On paper, Vandy has 17 returning starters, a proven running back, a solid defense, and playing at home. We have less returners, on the road, with an overabundant amount of ?'s.
I think Derek Mason feels his defense can win this for him. I don't think he is too fearful of our offense. He will let Webb get what he can get, punt, and try to hold us. At least until their offense gets settled. I personally hope he does this, because I think that plays to our advantage. Boom will most likely go into the game focusing on Webb. On offense, I think our hurry up may keep them off balance. It will be crucial for us to score first to settle the young guys. I like that we have seasoned players on the O line. If there is one place to have experience, I want it on the line (defense or offense). On defense, the question will be the same as the last two years.....can we put pressure on their QB. If not, it is going to be a long night.
My gut tells me this coaching staff is an improvement over the last. We finally have a real offensive coordinator instead of a head coach trying to control everything in the game. I think we get ahead early, and hold on for dear life. Gamecocks 20 Dores 17
