The Tar Heels got another few yards on the drive. It's something, right?
On the upside, they are not afraid to hit on special teams.

Had to google him,ESPN strikes again.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:38 PM ^
So I'm watching the battle of the Carolinas and my dad walks in and says, "are they talking about superman yet? what color cape is he wearing?" [This after both of us spent the afternoon nauseated at all the Clowney-mania on ESPN... My dad has a pretty good sense of humor.]
Best case scenario: UNC pulls out the upset W and Clowney still blow some poor kid up and gives ESPN someting new to talk about. It looks like that first part ain't happenin'..

OMG it's really here!

Well, this match between the Carolinas might get out of hand, now that the Gamecocks have established that they can get first downs even on dumpoff passes and then score on the very next play. No need for them to go to the edge...it's not like anyone with "NC" on the helmet is up the middle on most plays.
So, let's peruse the box score after one quarter, fellow MGoBloggers...
Yards on offense - South Carolina: 203, North Carolina: 35

ESPN didn't get any less toxic over the offseason.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:50 PM ^
Lord this is bad. I haven't been watching the whole time but pretty much whenever SC has scored (and the plays preceding). UNC sucks. SC is a good SEC team and all, but UNC is not ready.
I'm not quite ready to exclaim College Football is here, because UNC looks like a highschool team. Okay I'm done Tar Heel bashing for now.

Nothing says college football is back then 25 foot lettering of the word COCKS on South Carolina's scoreboard. #Tradition
August 29th, 2013 at 6:50 PM ^
I'm already sick and tired of the espn lovefest that is ess eee see footbaw!
August 29th, 2013 at 6:54 PM ^
UNLV vs. Minn

Ind St. vs Ind.?
August 29th, 2013 at 6:56 PM ^
Superman jumped offsides.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:56 PM ^
Proceeds to say clowney at a rate of 3 times a minute.

August 29th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
We may have a game folks.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:00 PM ^
maybe they can stay competitive afterall.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
Here's a funny thing on the Heisman candidates. Can't quite tell if it's pro-Devin/anti-Braxton or the other way around...

It wouldn't be ESPN if they didn't have their biases on display.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
I really like the UNLV unis.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
Minny spared no expense on the band uni! WTF is that?
August 29th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
do some scouting, I got 3 monitors on my wall, I'm spoiled.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:04 PM ^
Big life, big stage. Time for a home-and-home against UNLV.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
Just moved my oldest son into UNLV last weekend. Campus is remarkably beautiful and you can't even tell it's a mile or two from the Strip. And all football and basketball games are free for the students. Football, not a big deal. Basketball, very big deal.

Hey Natalie Nyhus.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:06 PM ^
stop them here and get the ball back and then score another TD, specifically on Clowney's side, thanks in advance!
August 29th, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
Our fathers, who art on the gridiron
Hallowed be thy game
Thy kickoff come, thy will be done
In the game as it is in practice
Give us this play our desired yardage
And forgive us our neutral zone infractions, as we forgive those who commit penalties against us
And lead us not into a trap game, but deliver us from the pain of defeat at the hands of our rival
For thine is the zone, the power-I, and the counter forever
Amen
Football's back y'all!

UNC has some momentum! Nevermind...
August 29th, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
that fumbled punt.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
Thompson is a better QB
August 29th, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
so it is a wash either way. However, more mental errors are better than less, so I happily welcome more fumbled punts.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
Keep thinking UNLV is Ohio State with these lookalike uniforms.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
looks suspect, UNLV moving the ball on them at will.
Ind already up 7-0
August 29th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
And Minny still sucks.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
untouched 26 yd TD run up the middle.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:15 PM ^
I am thinking that Larry Fedora is pointing out, "You see how he stayed the hell away from the ball on that punt? That, right there..."
August 29th, 2013 at 7:15 PM ^
BIG TEHHHNN!
August 29th, 2013 at 7:36 PM ^
But Brandon Graham just sacked Matt Simms (in for the Jets because no one else is healthy) for a safety in the Jets' very first series. And this after Simms was sacked by someone else as Graham was pushing one of his OL out of the way.
Good to see when the new coaching staff changed his position.
