| Bad coaching by Spurrier
Gamecocks up by 10 with the ball and a first down in the Miss St redzone with just over a minute to play. Rather than form a victory formation and taking a knee, Spurrier decides to run another play and score a touchdown. That extended the game by 8-10 plays when you count the PAT and kickoff. I wonder what he'd have said if his team suffered an injury during that time. There was a couple good collisions after the Bulldogs got the ball. What a jerk Spurrier is. Oh well, at least the Cocks covered the spread. The boosters are happy, I'm sure. |

| Ya, this is just typical Spurrier and does not suprise me at all.

I know we just talked about this but look at what those close wins almost cost FL last year. There's nothing wrong with SC running the ball close to the end of the game. If anything, that HELPS MSU. There's a much better chance of a fumble running the ball, correct? Victory formation = game over. | |

| I wish I had a coach that didn't care what the score was or how much time was left when were on offense, realizing the objective of the game is to score points on offense.
It's kinda hard for your team to have the killer instinct if your coach doesn't.
Spurrier  IMO. | |

| I would have ran plays too. In the least it makes your players feel better about the bigger margin of victory. That could mean a little more momentum for the following week. | |

Spurrier IMO. | That does seem to make a difference. Spurrier was sending a message to CPF and Tubbs, that HE WILL NEVER BE CROOMED! | |

Why extend the number of plays and possible injuries when you don't have to, especially when you have to play again on Thursday night? It was a hard fought, hard hitting game. Take a knee and go to the house. | |

I realized after I hit submit how it looked....  I love Fulmer and I hate to see him leave, because I'm sure he bloods Orange just like we all do....But the game has past him by and it's time to go... I just don't want him to be embarressed by the way they may choose to let him go.. | |
