"Poor clock management."

That is our theme. The SC defense gets another "win." We will not win this game if that keeps up.

I am really baffled by the fact that we always have at least one big clock management screw up a game that costs us points and/or momentum.

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Butch should tell Larry Scott: “When we get inside the 20, whatever you think you should call, strike that, and reverse it.”

 

[Paper_Towel]

Tubs made Scott look like a fool on that 2nd down play-call

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

JG should have thron that ball away instead of running out of bounds, but I can appreciate the fact that he's been careful with the football and he's not trying to force throws.

Yep. Growing pains.

OL Preseason is over, time to kick some butts.

DE's time to have a sack fest to get in spite Darrell Taylor suspension. Put Bentley on cinder blocks!

Secondary, believe it or not, you are 1st in SEC in pass defense. Stay that way after the game.

WR's don't forget the stickum!

JG, just Peyton Manning it!

CBJ, just Saban it!

FYI - Peyton Manning did not beat Florida and lost big to Nebraska his last game. Move on.

Cimaglia gets MVP regardless of the outcome of the game.

 

[trampas2bad]

Do coaches know that TDs also add to the score?

 

[Woodrow Call]

They should probably listen in to the broadcast and take some tips from Tuberville.

 

[k-town_king]

Young qb mistakes and poor play calling.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

That was a great pass!

Indeed..perfect spot

 

[armchair]

Your are on the 10 yard line. Running it from there on first down is a STUPID play call. And then, as Tubberville said, you run a sprint out to the near side of the field? You should call a sprint out on 1st down to the wide side of the field. Two dumb calls. Scott is not very smart--and neither is Jones.

 

[volfannbama]

8 quarters, no TDs. I like the improments but these fg not gonna cut it.

 

[BIG SEXY]

No excuse for that crap!! POOR COACHING!!!

How is it Butchs fault when JG takes a 10 years loss on the 5.

 

[hooperj75]

Would it kill butch to call one fade to Calloway? The guy can get up there.

 

[stagglyvol]

More poor clock management from Butch and co

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

3 fgs and 9 points is better than 0

 

[BigOrangeD]

We're going to win a ton of games kicking field goals.

 

[BJSforVols]

JG should have thron that ball away instead of running out of bounds, but I can appreciate the fact that he's been careful with the football and he's not trying to force throws.

Agreed. He will learn that in time. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later.

 

[firestorm]

Gamecocks defense is keeping it a close game
.

 

[JCHateSteve]

I'm not sure what had been talked about more. Kelly's skateboarding or Dobbs' aerospace major lol.

 

[508mikey]

sideline reporter is geek

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Why is Butch allowing JK to skateboard? Is ankle break city.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Tubberville was right. Running a sprint out to boundary side is not very smart.

Good thing SC offense is nonexistent this game.

 

[fossilfiction]

Yep. Growing pains.

Growing pains with points, even 3, is winning football. I am impressed that JG is moving the ball like he is.

 

[Volstylexx]

Anyone know that we are 112 in the nation in red zone scoring?

Where’d you hear that?
