Holding saves us--but there were MORE blatant missed tackles there.

 

[Escambia94]

Gamecocks are basically a mirror image of the Gators but with a better QB and a competent special teams.

 

[Escambia94]

Actually decent defense by the Gators but Rattler made a pinpoint laser pass.

 

[Escambia94]

Jalen Kimber is much better at run defense than pass defense.

 

[Escambia94]

Gator defense was asleep on that one. Bad tackle attempt by safety #10 Mitchell, Miguel SO

 

[Escambia94]

Cocks tie up the game.

 

[DRU2012]

Watching this "Ole!" D, I have NO faith in us coming out of here with anything but a loss.
(Meanwhile, I find myself fantasizing what "90s SS-as-Coach" might do with this offensive team we have now.)

[DRU2012]

I am trying to figure out what I will choose as my soundtrack for the second half oglf this one--assuming it remains close enough to keep watching at all.
Am thinking old "Cure", with its pessimistic fatalism, may be most appropriate yet somehow soothing. Gonna NEED that last I'm afraid.

 

[DRU2012]

Where was the PI flag there??!

 

[Escambia94]

#21 for SC owes Pearsall dinner for holding his hand that long on a date.

 

[Escambia94]

Marcus Burke with the nice catch but SC makes a low blow on Graham Mertz.

 

[Escambia94]

Is Mertz still alive back there?

 

[DRU2012]

Mertz hurt. He is tough though.
Of course, that is Billy's potential "out": Pull Graham and say later, "We didn't think it wise..."

 

[DRU2012]

See? A Coach with BALLS and a sense of FUN woulda thrown it there on 3rd and short.

 

[DRU2012]

Can we make just one big stop here and NOW???

 

[DRU2012]

I say it again:
I REALLY do not LIKE the way these games go, win or lose.

 

[DRU2012]

Finally. Now, the Gators call time out; even if they DO getvthe stop here, will they use it to go long to score at the end of this half?

 

[DRU2012]

A punt block would be nice.
