Kent St vs Gamecock game thread

[sclawman77]

Nice catch

 

[18IsTheMan]

lol, what's the benefit of shortening the game 5 minutes?

 

[Cybercock]

Stupid to play before labor day AND even more stupid to play a mid-day one. TV dictates.

 

[1vagamecock]

Touchdown Gamecocks

 

[sclawman77]

Basically a scrimmage but solid performance

 

[kidrobinski]

Half a hundred.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I wanna see Duckworth get a series.

I wanna see Duckworth get a series.

I think we will

 

[1vagamecock]

Interception

 

[RUMMENIGGE]

What can we tell about conditioning today?

Given the heat, we seem to be holding up well.

I think the heat wore down Kent State.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Interception

Good job to make sure he got the foot down in bounds.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I think the heat wore down Kent State.

And, by the looks of it, about 3/4 of the crowd.

 

[kidrobinski]

I think the heat wore down Kent State.

I believe Kent state was ready for the check at halftime.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Lucian Anderson?????

Duckworth isn't even QB3. Kind of surprised.

 

[RUMMENIGGE]

It looked like they tired in middle of second quarter.

 

[1vagamecock]

Touchdown Coleman

 

[Bubba Fett]

All these guys getting to play is awesome. We need a repeat performance next week.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Lucian Anderson?????

I honestly don't recall ever hearing of this guy.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Cherry on top would be a pick six.

Who needs a black out when you got a "hot" out?

 

[Bubba Fett]

I'll take it.

 

[1vagamecock]

Duckworth got in

 

[kidrobinski]

I like Coleman I kid you not. Pleasant surprise.

 

[sclawman77]

Yep and Clark too. Clark drives forward with the ball with nice burst. Fuller as well. All three will play a lot. Freshman wide receiver #0 looks like he needs to see the field more. This was basically a scrimmage but still a solid performance.

Carolina was conditioned great. Also helps that this offense lends itself to spreading the load and not relying on one tailback (old school) or one "x" receiver. Good tempo mix in there for our offense.

 

[DeBoer31]

Missed most of the first half. Mom is in town and took her to the local Amish market. Sellers didn't run much. Did that seem to be by design?

Announcers are being pretty hard on Sellers for the 4 misses.

Thought so too. He looked great overall. Yeah, didn't run it much. IN this offense though....there are gonna be games where he runs for 100 yards here and there.

I thought the same thing. I was like "these boys aren't cramping up like normal....must have been a good conditioning off season." Which is nice.

Nike did such a good job on the STOP SIGN Red Gamecock jerseys.

The University should be suing Nike. Instead they are using red paint for the end zone to color match. Also can’t tell the difference between our guys and UGA. Like Nike recycled Georgia gear to SC.


I’ll just stop. (Stop sign red)

Adjust the color saturation on your TV until you're satisfied.

Nice to see Mazeo make plays. Harbor and Murph and Cyrus looked good too. Little blurb about Harbor.

If they continue to be intentional about feeding harbor the ball and letting him run, I think defenses are going to have to plan the whole game around him.

 

[Hoganman1]

After all the naysayers quit posting this was fun. I was pleased with how they played. Of course Sellers was short on three passes which we heard about multiple times. Anyway I like the new offense. Hopefully they will continue to get better as the season progresses.

It was moot anyway; the stripes dutifully compensated by ensuring they called in the 110 heat some illegal formation and illegal motion and illegal shift penalties against the team down by 50 points. Because it was super necessary.

Just doesn't make any sense to me to play 55 minutes instead of 60.

 

[Deathstar]

This was a rare situation where we opened a season by beating an inferior team the way they should have been beaten.
