Agree with everybody - glad it was us getting the W in an ugly game for a change.

But what was Jancek thinking in this game? He created mismatches for USCe instead of for us along with not isolating Cam on Cooper. I'm sure Randolph's stupidity hurt things. Points out a major need at safety next season. Still not sure Evan is a defensive guy.

Then there is the usual Jekyl and Hyde on offense. Well, successful on that play. Don't need to run it anymore. Next, let's make Dobbs do something else he doesn't do well again.

The O-line needs work. They got whipped in the second half. Mizzou's D-line is even better that USCe. USCe has a better offense than Mizzou, though.

So much for being one of the lesser penalized teams.

Glad that one is over. Three more to go. Will take a W anyway they can get it. Need 8-4 to keep the trends good for Butch as well as to keep the players pumped.

I think Jancek went through a period of being too conservative after we went up 17-0. Also didn't like Moseley playing over Martin at all, and then leaving him manned up against Cooper.

I think USC did a good job making Dobbs beat us with his arm. They sold out on the run in the second half, and for the most part we weren't good enough in the passing game to take advantage. As others have said, our OL isn't good enough to impose their will on stacked boxes. Dobbs is going to have to hit passes and the WRs will have to actually catch balls to keep defenses soft for our running game.

Butch better retool his staff. Next year is it for Dobbs, Hurd, JRM, North, Barnett and on and on and if we don't fix some of this incompetent BS then it will be it for Butch also. His staff was outperformed by an interim with half the talent on home turf tonight.

Dobbs is tantalizingly close to being an absolutely amazing QB. His erratic passes are weird, but I think they could be fixed with better coaching.

I wish we had a real QB coach on staff. Fire Mahoney, let Debord be OC/OL coach, hire a QB coach. Seems too obvious to me.

It's nice and a bit refreshing that we are back to the days of complaining about an SEC win that was not Vandy...been a while

Dropped passes and Pearsons brain fart had more to do with this game being close, than the OL. The OL does good enough when the Defense are spread out. They are not even close to being good enough to deal with a stacked box. When we hit those plays the D has to loosen up. Then the running game can work.

What I saw was a pocket that maintained a nice arc and gave more than sufficient time to complete passes.

Malone's drop and Kamara's fumble were huge.

South Carolina didn't make many mistakes until the last play either.

Yep, our running game needs more consistency from the passing game.

I do agree, SC is better than some thought including me. The problem I feel we have is that when teams start stacking inside to stop our run, our OL just isn't talented enough to overcome it. Not even a few breakout runs. Now I do believe that Darrel Hall and Jack Otes are going to be great OL for us.
