The Junkyard

SC will be good. Their DL will be strong, no doubt. Personally, I like flying under the radar. We all know what we have returning... Just need for our kids to make smart choices over the summer to make sure we have everyone come fall.

Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I'm gonna say nothing. Having said that, in defense of So. Carolina, there is no defense of So. Carolina.

Don't they have a new defensive coordinator? That'll probably have a negative effect early. And SC typically fades late in the season.

Clowney will be their best defender and will have tackles and running backs diving at his knees all season. He might not make it to the sixth game.

This really makes me think this guy is an idiot. Yeah I know south Carolina has some good players but I dont think you can compare thier defense to ours or alabamas or lsu. They dont have the talent that we have and we have everybody coming back on defense while they lost Ingram and Gilmore and a few others. I just dont see them being that good.

Our d-line just isn't a stat builder. Our system is based around our lb's and we have one of if not the top lb group in the nation

we've also got one of the best secondaries in the nation. all 4 senior starters will go in the draft next year.

I wouldnt lose to much sleep over what a poll says, everybody knows that it does not matter what a poll says, it matters what a team can do and how much experience they have. With USCjr losing so much talent to the draft, I honestly do not see them being the dominate force in the east. Watching they're spring game DB's made me see just how bad they will be thrown on all year to, did not impress me one bit. Gilmore, Antonio, Jeffrey, and Ingram were they're biggest play makers and I do not care about what any body says, they do not have the talent to reload at those positions. I give credit to Clowney, but that's the only play maker I see returning to that defence.

Been a while, but as usual on these kinds of threads, we're not going to let it turn into back-and-forth smack talk between sides.

To our Big Spur visitors, the post above from Cocked&Locked is a good example of an informative post that adds something to the conversation and keeps the thread on topic. But posts from visitors to our board that basically say nothing more than "You guys suck" or "We're gonna win" or things like that are not welcome here and will be deleted.

It happens to all great coaches. Turnover at the coordinator positions making their jobs uncomfortable.

Phil Fulmer. Tommy Tubberville. Urban Meyer ran out of town because lost the defense which is the reason why he won 2 NCs and he lost his playcaller of 10 years.
LSU was able to catch things up with only a 1 year gaffe (2008) after Bo Pelini left and before they brought in Chavis. Do we expect anything great out of Chizik without Malzahn? I don't.

Do I wish that on Steve Spurrier? Yeah. I do. The reality is that it's hard to replicate the success. I can't do my bosses job just like him. Equally, he couldn't do my job just like me. We're different people. And despite similar philosophies and goals, we don't motivate and teach the exact same way. We have our own uniqueness about us. It is no different in football.
