Well, a 3 and out on the 1st poss which was the one thing I DID NOT want to see happen. And a delay of game on the very first play to boot. SMH.

 

[GCMD2]

Poor start for Mitch...but not unexpected...now for the defense...

 

[IBleedUSC]

Really?

Smh.

 

[GCMD2]

Not a good start...lets see how stout the D is...or can they settle down.

 

[Carolina Bo]

Gonna be a long year.

 

[Cocky kebo57]

Well you knew the jet sweep was coming, just didn't think it would be their 1st play. Bet we see it a dozen times tonight.

 

[GCMD2]

Run defense looks much better.

 

[Cybercock]

and a flag--- really? 30 yards on 1st play. same ol same ol

 

[GCMD2]

I like the penalty from IJ...Walton missed...

 

[Cocky kebo57]

We are not slowing them down too much. D gonna have to tighten up!!!

 

[GCMD2]

Need to hold them to a FG...

 

[IBleedUSC]

Still can't defend the jet sweep. At least it wasn't 80 yards.

 

[GCMD2]

D is getting to the ball a LOT faster than last year!

 

[Cocky kebo57]

That'swhat I'm talking about!!!! PICK!!!!

 

[GCMD2]

I wasn't worried about the pass...our RUN defense looks MUCH BETTER than last year...that's a good sign!

 

[IBleedUSC]

YES... GO MOORE.... INTERCEPTION!

 

[uscjunkie36]

All I can say is PHEWWW!

 

[NA Gamecock]

Nice, take the ball back

 

[GCMD2]

3rd and 5 is still good. Need to get the ball into Cooper's hands...

 

[uscjunkie36]

Offense looks pitiful so far.

 

[GCMD2]

Not good but great fake!!!!

 

[alaskagamecock]

Offense looks terribly out of sync

 

[IBleedUSC]

AHAHAHAHA. FAKE PUNT!!!

 

[GCMD2]

Offense struggling under new QB? No...calm down.

 

[Cocky kebo57]

That is the value of the rugby punt lol!

 

[GCMD2]

Decent run...not Connor Shaw but decent...

 

[JustAmazed]

Move the chains and play defense.

 

[GCMD2]

That's what we have to do...keep pounding them...

 

[GCMD2]

RUN THE BALL, Mitch!

 

[GCMD2]

That would have gone to the house....

 

[GCMD2]

Ok...starting to get ugly for Mitch...

 

[uscjunkie36]

This QB scares the living CRAP out of me

 

[alaskagamecock]

Pathetic offense...looks like they have never even practiced

 

[JustAmazed]

Nice pitching wedge punt.

 

[Cocky kebo57]

RUN THE BALL, Mitch!

Yep could have made the 1st down then instead of the crappy pass to #89

 

[IBleedUSC]

Spurrier either needs to calm him down or pull him.

 

[GCMD2]

Time for the DEFENSE to score 1 of their 2 TDs for the game...you heard it here first....

 

[Cybercock]

Hopefully its the jitters cause this is pitiful

 

[uscjunkie36]

Might have been nice to give the kid some snaps last year.
