Posting this as a Furman fan first (class of '08) but also a Gamecock fan because of family connections.

This is a fundamentally flawed South Carolina team. This is probably the worst offensive line I've ever seen from South Carolina, and the defensive line isn't terribly impressive either. Whether they know it or not, Furman is potential a nightmare FCS matchup for this South Carolina team (at least the one that showed up in Charlotte.). Furman's depth and strength on both sides of the line and their ability to run the ball effectively give them a great opportunity next week to do something crazy in Columbia. I'm not predicting a win, but I think Furman has the ability to scare the heck out of a lot of Gamecock fans (and players) next weekend.

Let’s get a few things fixed and play a clean game. Is it possible we held a few schemes out of the game film against TTU?

It sounded like Toomey could have come back in. No word yet on Fred. Lots of good film to correct with.

Looked like a defender rolled into lateral aspect of Fred’s left knee while he was standing. He walked off the field. Hopefully a mild strain and no ligament damage. I’m optimistic.

if SD were Coach Beamer, SD would make this week all about Gamecocks and not so much about playing Dins. They need to improve. Back to basics kinda deal

This could be very good for Dins. Like Tyson said "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth"

Don’t forget guys, Carolina has Georgia the following week. They cannot afford to look ahead, but human nature tells me they will.

If there’s something both teams have in common it’s coming back to earth after successful end of last season. The only thing that looked good for Carolina was the passing game. Furman was less than stellar offensively, but looked amazing on defense. We’ll see who can improve more this week.

question is do we have a good enough defense front seven to stuff the run and get pressure on the qb likje unc did.we mus t also defend the long pass as well.it looked like usc best receiver may have been hobbling some at the end of the game.possible only cramps.
i think our offense will be better this week .i think we will score on usc.i expect the game will be close in the high 20's or low 30's.let's get focused and win or lose let them know we show up for fbs games.

Why can't we use some of these highlights on the Clay Hendrix Show and get the coach's comments?

Reading the press this morning, it looks like USC had a lot of guys go down to injury in week one - especially in some areas they were already thin.

Well you would think they will be in a get healthy this week mindset and just try to out athlete us.

I would think that anyone "questionable" will be held out with UGA next week.

Dunno - Richard Bell got fired as the Gamecock’s Head Coach for losing to Furman.

Sure, UGa is an SEC Conference & East Division game, but nobody expects South Carolina to go into Athens and win that game. Remember last year when people thought Tennessee had a shot to do that and Georgia’s D AND home crowd took the Vols out of the game in the 1st Quarter.

If the Chickens somehow ‘slip up’ vs. Furman, they can count on starting 0-3….and MissState looked dang good on Sat, as did Tennessee … so, now we’re thinking 0-5 and Beamer might not make it past the mid-point - the JaxSt / Vandy part of the season.

Furman is actually a MUST WIN GAME for South Carolina because of the fairly ugly loss to UNC and the rest of their schedule.

So - IFBO - “questionable” Players will play on Sat. until (and if) they are VERY comfortable that the victory is in hand. We just need to make sure those “questionable” Players play all 4 quarters.

According to the reports, Beamer listed 5 or 6 guys that didn't finish Saturday's game, a few of which are questionable or out for the Furman contest. They were already thin on the depth chart at certain positions going into that game.

It's long been my observation in the FCS/P5 contests that the size/talent disparity shows up in two primary spots: (1) pass catchers, and (2) defensive line.

Watching USC, they have #17 (Legette), who at 6'3 227 is probably going to be a matchup problem. The QB, Rattler, is obviously a talented/athletic QB. Beyond those guys, I didn't see anyone that Furman hasn't played before.

The key in these games is whether we can put their defense on their heels. We'll have a few extra days than they will to heal up. Hopefully we'll have most of the squad ready to go.
