Lewan is owning Clowney.

What's up with Denard's cleats? He slipped down 3 or 4 times already. Time for the equipment guy to get busy.

To Denard and middle screens to Fuchess seems to be out of order. Also the insistence on Smith as a power back is stupid. That's where the frustration lies.

People keep bashing Borges for being uncreative, but today I've seen like at least 4 plays we have never ran before....just because we are getting out executed doesn't mean the playcalling sucks.

I think Borges is calling a pretty good game. Big plays and bad downfield blocking are killing us.

without Robinson, I agree. We are being out executed by a damn good defense but I'm not pissed off about the playcalling like in previous games.

She's at a conference in Atlanta. If she can handle michimoby Gameday Mode, she's gonna win points. But the training wheels aren't ready to come off yet.

If I have to keep listening to Gruden gush over Borges I'm going to black out by the third quarter.

Mr. Yost

Do we have a "bread and butter play?"

Everything we run, no matter if it works or if it doesn't...our whole offense feels like it was contrived on a napkin at a Denny's at 2am.

Guys running everywhere. Misdirection. Trick plays.

Good teams use those as a change of pace, not as their entire offense.

We had the ball for 10 minutes and are down by 11. The have zero yards rushing. Excuse me while I stab my eyeballs.

That's what happens when the two TDs you give up are a 50+ yard bomb and a 63 yard punt return, and your offense is held together by duct tape and string (and you kill two drives with offensive face masks)

Call me crazy but I'm not jumping off a cliff like many of you seem to be. Offense hasn't been stonewalled and the defense has been solid minus one long pass. We may not win, we're not supposed to win against a more talented team, but they are competing and the game plan is a good one imo.

Why isn't he more involved. Seems he pretty special but we seem to not like TE plays. Is it too simple for Borges?

We're scrapping on offense and have little rhythm, but our defense is holding fairly well save the big play. I'm not cashing in yet. If we can find our flow and claw thru their defense a bit more, I'm optimistic.

But I think Borges has been fine today. South Carolina has more talent.

Borges is doing a pretty good job. I think everyone needs to shut the fuck up about him for this game. Granted, it's not over yet.

I thought Lewan was 6'8" and Clowney was 6'6". Clowney looks taller than Lewan.

I'm not sure if they count yards if he's lined up at tailback. Confirm?

I guess we're gonna settle for a field goal again judging by the play calling.
