I still can't believe Dylan Thompson beat us last year. All

of my chicken "friends" were sending me texts saying, "well it was fun while it lasted."
Unbelievable. There's no way we should lose this game once again this year. We were the better team last year, and we're the better team this year. Gotta get it done somehow.

We were not the better team last year.

We were decimated by injuries in the secondary and their defensive line and linebackers were much better than this year's front 7. We had no pass rush. Dylan Thompson playing was a predictable response to our weakness in the secondary and our lack of a pass rush.

Why are people so stupid they can't see this? It was the perfect play for Spurdick to play Thompson considering his quarterbacks strengths, and our weaknesses.

like Christians to the Lions. We don't get down to the old stomping grounds much since the parents moved to Williamston and the youngest son finished ElCid in May. We will be in G Vegas for T-giving. Our oldest son bought a house in Simpsonville. Near you?

We just choked and dropped 3 easy interceptions otherwise we win.

pretty sure we were the better TEAM. You were at home, we started our backup qb and still won, we also started our 3rd string RB. We did not win because of our offense we won because of our defense last year.

Honestly believe Spurrier intentionally played Thompson.
The only reason he played was because Shaw was hurt.

He's played through every injury imaginable this year. He didn't sit because he was hurt. His injury was minor and his ### would've been shoved out on the field whether he liked it or not, had Thompson became rattled at any point. Unfortunately for us, and what Spurrier knew going in, was that with our D fielding half of it's week 1 starters.... our getting him rattled was unlikely at best.

the week before we played y'all. we were the walking dead in the defensive backfield. sos made the correct call in starting dylan. y'all are the one's that talk about how tuff shaw is, and you think he would have sat out the game on his own ? moran.

second down almost the entire game. We had them in third and LONG all game long. they just kept converting and converting. On 3rd and 19, freaking thompson runs for 20 (down to inside the 5). 3rd and 16 and they throw a 30-something yard TD. TERRIBLE!!!
Also, Chad's playcalling got freaking terrible too. We were executing our gameplan flawlessly in the first quarter. Running at doo-doo, optioning off doo-doo, rolling Tajh out. We marched right down the field. In the second half we left Tajh back there as a stationary sitting duck down after down.

3rd and longs all night and Tajh didn't have nearly enough time to feel his way through the game. That's what an injury riddled defense will you with I guess, though. Glad to at least be healthy on that side of the ball going into this one. RBs and WRs you can just kind of plug in the next in line when one goes down. DBs and LBs, and the practice it takes to play as a unit, and be comfortable within the scheme, is a bit of a different story wheb you're talking about plugging the next guy in.

Who, btw is now hobbled... and probably will be even moreso going into ATL. Championship problems. I remember in 09 when we lost bc we had to limit an 85% spillers touches to try and conserve his health going into the Ga Tech game. Didn't work but he still had a great championship game. Probably wouldn't be able to say that if he played the workhorse for us against a team, at the time, we had in our back pocket, and absolutely no respect for.

Shaw hasn't played poorly enough to justify yanking him like last year (although he really tested the waters in the UF) game, and he's a senior, and hasn't lost at home yet...... well I guess he'd have one loss if he played last year against clemson

T.O.P.? Coots: 40 min Tigers: 20 min
Give our offense 6 or 7 more minutes and put 14 more points on the board minimum.
Look for that to be the difference this year. Our D gives our O more opportunities to score and we end up taking the crowd out of it by running away with the game...
