Surely Steve Spurrier is resting his offense by calling for fumbles and interceptions. I think it is called something like "gun 'n' DAMNIT!".

EDIT: Lattimore redeems himself by pretending the Vanderbilt defense is not there...successfully.

It's effing bullshit that ESPN ranked Sparty and Wisconsin as the most exciting finish of last season over Under the Lights. We had 3 tds in the last few seconds and the game was a big comeback, AND it was the first nightgame in Michigan history! Big comeback+3 last minute tds>one catch. Conspiracy!! Lol

They keep running misdirection and screens thinking S.C. is aggressively bringing pressure, but why would S.C. bother bringing pressure when they've only passed the ball past the line of scrimmage twice?

I'm doing some scouting. Killing two birds with one stone. Watching umass at uconn on ESPN3.com

With McGuffie at Rice? Are they limiting his exposure due to the concussion issues or playing him at the slot? I find it hard to believe that he could start at M (even on THAT team) and not break the lineup at Rice.

Thankfully the size differential between Bama's Oline and our Dline is not as huge as that between S Carolina and Vanderbilt. 4 and 2 on your side of the field is ballsy.

I'd like to see just once more the graphic comparing the weights of USC's OLine against Vandy's DLine it just isn't clear enough for me yet...

Ok stupid question, but how do you make ESPN 3 full screen?

 

Nevermind it works on google chrome.

10-10 at the half at Vanderbilt-South Carolina. That was actually a pretty exciting first half. I like that Vanderbilt just  keeps coming at the Gamecocks, and it seems like Franklin has them playing with a fire that I don't remember Commodore teams having in the past. With Shaw out, I imagine Spurrier goes back to the "fun 'n' gun" possibly.

Thompson looks roughs. Gotta wonder how long it takes the ole ball coach to put in the 3rd stringer.

EMU had a receiver wide open for what should have been a TD, too bad he had no idea where the ball was.
