This is pitiful.
Sad state of our football program.

Only see one more win on the schedule....

Don't count the UT game as a loss just yet. They apparently looked as bad as us today while squeaking out a win against UMass.
I wouldn't count UF as an automatic loss. Their offense stinks and their problems are deeper than play calling. They looked really average today.
I believe we'll win 3 more and earn a bowl. Bit I'm not as concerned this season with the w/l column as I am with simply seeing improvement.
Today, I didn't see any in any phase of the game. That was one of the most frustrating wins I've watched in a while.
Just glad we got the win. Could be have been a much worse day.
hey bro.....down 13-0.....I saw a shyt load of improvement....but you are right.....need better play and calls early on.....when we had a good play call on....we missed...
Not...sure...if...serious...bro
You think we looked better than last week? If so where.
That's neat. I got us beating Arky, Vandy, Florida and Wofford at home. I think at A&M next week is 50/50. UGA and Clemson only games I don't see us winning.
Vandy was outgained by Bama by 600 yards today, Tenn struggled to beat a bad Umass team (much less competeive than LA Tech) and Florida blows as far as I'm concerned. Oh and Texas A&M blew a 30+ pt lead to a UCLA team that's looked awful ever since and are tied with Arkansas for the most dysfunctional team in the country.
Did we look bad last week? Yea you betcha. Did we suck for 3 quarters today? Absolutely. Is there literally any reason we can't win every remaining game we have outside of UGA and Clemson? Absolutely not.
This fanbase has gone off the deep end.

I am still looking at at least 6-6 (wins Arky, Vandy and Wofford). We will be favored in all and will win all at home. The sky didn't fall because we squeaked by an LT team.
Also, TN, FL, TAM all have weaknesses especially TN. I think we will pull a W (maybe 2) from these toss up games. In order of best chance for a W - Florida because it is at home, TN because they aren't that good but it is on the road. I don't think we get the W at College Station, but I wouldn't be surprised either. I can't read TAM, but it will take a lot of points, which I don't know if we can muster.
It pains me, but I must think that UGA and Clemson are losses at this point. Always hold out hope against Clemson because it is a rivalry and we are at home, but it will take an A+ effort in all aspects of the game to get the W. Still a lot of season to go before that game.
I am still expecting 7-5 and a fighting chance for 8-4. Bowl game win depends on the bowl and who we play, but practice is more important in bowl eligibility unless a team is in the playoffs.

We should be 4-0 with wins over a good NCS, Kentucky and a conf. USA title contender. We are not where we want to be...but we are damn sure not where we were. We will be somewhere around 7 to 8 wins which we should all be pleased with considering where we were a short time ago.
ahhhhh, this thread. "We don't suck as bad as X number of teams on our schedule and might get these wins". No one is even really saying we're "better" than X team, it's that we aren't "as bad" as X team. We are not in a good place.
When did you figure out we were not loaded and in "not a good place"?
There is a better chance that Clemson will be on probation in two years than us missing bowl eligibility,
We have to find some type of miracle pill, voodoo, or something to help us beat Clem. It's all that matters.
Cheer up guys. We're 3-1. Does this team have issues? Certainly. Injuries have not helped. Questionable offensive strategy and play calling have not helped.
But we have some good playmakers on this team and we're 3-1. Encouraged by how Ortre Smith, Bryan Edwards, and Tyson Williams played yesterday and how Jake played when it really counted. Encouraged by a team's make up and character to come back in the 4th quarter and at the end of the game to get the win.
We will get better. I believe that.

Well at least the ut coach was pissed at the way they played..ours thought we played good...lol
Fortunately, we actually get to decide the games on the field, not by what you think is going to happen.
We're already halfway to a bowl berth, and clearly the SEC East is still a dumpster fire. Think we get to 7 before it's all said and done.
I'm gonna hold you to this. I now expect to win all those games you listed and made sound so easy. My predictions were Wofford and Vandy and see what happens with Tennessee. You just raised my expectations. I wasn't expecting to win next week but now I do, injuries or not. Anything less than an outright win will be a failure, no moral victories.
Yeah, the 2 minute drill seems to be the only scheme we are productive in.
Actually, I was really encouraged with they way we ran the ball on the opening drive, until Roper got greedy in the redzone on 2nd down. I was screaming "RUN THE BALL- RUN THE BALL-RUN THE BALL!!!" But it's apparent Roper couldn't hear me since he abandoned the run game
Ke
Kentucky had them. It would have been great if they had pulled it off
No, it wouldn't have been great. Since they beat us, we need Kentucky to lose SEC games.
I agree with you on the first drive and didn't like the bomb on the 3rd and 3 but thought we played good the whole 4th Q except for the La Tech FG drive.Yeah, the 2 minute drill seems to be the only scheme we are productive in.

17 points on offense won't win us many games going forward. Not even sure that will hold off Wofford.
Why would we have wanted Kentucky to win? They've already beaten us; we needed them to lose. We'll have a shot to beat Florida ourselves here in Columbia.
Everything is still in play for us. If we play errorless football like we did against NC State and Mizzou, we can win. If we drop the ball and make poor decisions, we struggle mightly and probably lose. The thing is that these kids seem to be trying their heart out. And we are thin on depth. I see effort out there. I see kids playing hard. I think we overhyped Jake who is an above average college quarterback. I believe he has potential to be a great one. I am not sure how much of the O problems are Jake's decision making or the play calling. A lot of the plays Jake has reads and options of where to go with the ball. I think sometimes he rushes his decision. He slows down as the game goes on and has gotten better in the second half of each game. Anyway, when we play well, we are not an easy out for anyone. But we have to play well and stay healthy. We weren't loaded with talent to begin with. We have lost our best O player and maybe our best D player. Still we sit here 3-1 and everything is in play for us. Let's support these kids and save the carping until later in the season when we know what we have. My two cents...
If there's anything I've learned as a Gamecocks fan it's this: we are capable of beating or losing to any team in the country (FBS or FCS). It's both bitter and sweet, but it's not boring.
I see 3 more wins but in no way will we beat the upstate team. They have a front 4 that will maul us and kill Jake. We could not block them last year and they are even better this year. Our task for winning has been hampered by major injuries to Deebo and BAW. It sucks losing a play,asker like Deebo and a top linebacker like BAW.
Please be more optimistic. Maybe KY is a better team by far than our fans give them credit for being.
