The delusion is beginning.

Mods pumping up Bentley and Lattimore claims he is the best QB in the country. I love that they've been doing this every year for 117 years.

I occasionally run over to their boards just to chuckle a little bit....one thing that's amazing is that they're convinced that they're going to have a massive advantage at QB against Clemson next year. Bentley will come into the season more experienced, and he did pretty well in some of the games he played, but I feel comfortable and saying the potential of both Zerrick Cooper & Hunter Johnson are far higher and, if the offense is properly tailored to his strengths, Kelly Bryant has the potential to be a more effective QB. I think when you take surrounding casts into consideration, the advantage for Clemson becomes even greater.
I guess we'll see.

Did you ever see the movie,"Kelly's Heroes"?...In it, there
May 10, 2017, 11:51 PM
|
|
is a scene where the tank mechanic tells Kelly,( CLint Eastwood) that his tanks can go 40 M.P.H in reverse.....he says,"Yessir, we like to get out of trouble faster than we got into it".....Bentley is going to need that 5th gear in reverse. Their O line will suck. Royally.

Bentley's limited success....
May 11, 2017, 11:05 AM
|

was entirely the result of playing a bunch of lousy defenses.
When he finally had to face a defense with a pulse, he folded like a cheap lawn chair.

Weapons?

Anybody notice any of those weapons last year in Death Valley ? Maybe he meant they were targets ...like the hanging paper kind that one might fire a weapon at ? They're reality is so askew I can't even follow along well enough to make sense of it myself . Weapons ?

The delusion never went away. Their "weapons" arent going to scare anyone. They continue to believe their "improved season" is a result of better players and great coaching, which in actuality their "improved" six win season came against teams with a 25-46 record that included Western Carolina, East Carolina, and UMass. Their other 3 wins came against Vandy, Missouri and Tennessee. The only "marquee" win was Tennessee and that was a fluke. LOVE the deLOUsions.

If they can nearly double their points per game scored, that would be an incredible improvement.

I honestly think that they currently have only 2 players on their team that we would utilize/play...The OL from Summerville, and the WR from Conway.

It really was. Their "fluke" 6-win season came against teams with a 25-46 record. They were lucky to get 6.

It's bad when they think they "improved" (and they are acting like Bentley was so worldly), but none of their wins were against a single team with a top 60 defense...
Total Offense/Total defense 2016: Vandy: TO: 110 TD: 64 Tenn: TO: 40 TD: 95 UMass: TO: 109 TD: 99 ECU: TO: 23 TD: 100 Miss: TO: 13 TD: 118 W Car: NR (SoCon; and were dead LAST in their conference in 2016).
So Gamecocks, let's see how Carolina faired against teams inside the top 60:
Clemson 56-7 Florida 20-7 Georgia 28-14
So they were outscored 104-28 by the 3 teams (all with a top 20 defense), and that's improved??

Most advanced metrics had SCar's 2016 team ranked
May 11, 2017, 1:45 PM

the same or even lower than their 2015 team. Improving from 3 wins to 6 was little more than a mirage, and really just the product of a really easy schedule. The SEC East was dreadful last year, and their non-con schedule (aside from Clemson) was pretty pathetic as well. And lets not forget that they eeked out most of their wins. Vandy by 3, a really bad ECU team by 5, a terrible UMass team by 6, Tenn by 3, a bad Missouri team by 10, and Western Carolina by 13.
I'll give them some credit for beating Tenn, but show me one other result that's the least bit impressive. Even the Missouri game that they won by 10... Mizzou missed 2 FGs in the 4th quarter and had another drive end on an INT in SC's EZ.
There was no improvement last year. They better pray that there's some this year because they won't win 6 games in 2017 if they field the same quality of team they have the last 2 seasons. If they do, the only "sure win" on their schedule is Wofford. NC State is flat out better, and they shouldn't take La Tech lightly unless they've improved because that could be a dog fight for them.

watching them set themselves up for even more disappointment.
Some people just never learn but in this case, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Yep, look at his numbers against the only top-25 defenses he faced last year (Florida and Clemson), and you'll laugh hysterically.

I think they forgot the part where they have Will Muschamp
May 11, 2017, 1:35 PM
|
|
as head coach. When has he ever had a competent offense that put up a lot of points? Just look at the S&P+ ratings of his offenses:
2011 - 33rd 2012 - 28th 2013 - 100th 2014 - 74th 2015 - 73rd 2016 - 107th
You can really see the Urban Meyer influence wearing off as the players he coached and recruited leave the program and the Muschamp players replace them. Meyer had 4 consecutive top 10 offenses from 2006-2009 including the #1 offense in the country twice. By his 3rd season Muschamp had turned Florida into one of the absolute worst offenses in the country.
