BreakerBoy I don't know what I would do without your optimism 😎 You usually get me pretty pumped about this team.
We rushed Preston Williams Back IMO... Everyone said I was crazy when I suggested he needed a redshirt..
He is nice athlete, but he never looked comfortable
(I don't know his status the rest of the season.JMO)
I'll tell you, his analysis is spot on about our CB's with Martin in there. This defense changed completely when he was inserted into that lineup. My only issue is, why in the world was he not in there sooner? I know...I know..fall camp, etc. But, he is such a great athlete. Not sure it would have been any worse at all with him out there early. And, he's just now figuring it out. Should be unreal next year.
Nobody said you were crazy. Just a disconnect on the "needed" part. I've seen freshmen WRs (pretty recently) who would be jealous of his stats. He hasn't even been ruled out for the rest of this year, so I don't see the fail in this season. Most of the redshirt talk centered on if he was physically able to perform...he able. He's the type that'll be gone after his third year...glad we got a couple of TDs out of this one.
Our oline is extremely banged up, Dobbs will be running for his life this weekend. We are going to need some big ST plays and strong defense again to win this game big.
I think you are overplaying it a little. Yes, they are banged up but they've been banged up for weeks and SC doesn't have a much better front than Kentucky and they held their own well against Alabama who is MUCH, much better. If we execute, we should win fairly comfortably imo.
As I've said, after Bama this is the most talented team left to play. I think we score about 21-28 points on offense, so I think we will need some big plays on ST's and defense if we want to make this a big win. Keep in mind, I am responding to the previous posters comment about a "big" win. I think we win regardless, but to win big(at the spread of 16.5 or more) then I think it will have to be another complete game.
