January 1st, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
Come on man...give us a shot.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
For wide receivers. Hard to throw downfield otherwise.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
Where is Denard he can miss wide open WR's but a least he can run.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Wide right by DG. Laces out.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
Gardner is Einhorn! Dammit I knew it!
January 1st, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
We are still in it. I like our chances. Go Blue!
January 1st, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Devin has to be better in the second half. And please stop playing Smith
January 1st, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
but am I crazy to feel like we have dominated this freaking game sans 3 fucking plays?
January 1st, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
No you are sane. We have played well exception the 3 plays.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
Time of Posession is more than 2x Michigan
January 1st, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Dominated? No. But definitely played better than the scoreboard says.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:45 PM ^
dominated is way too strong, controled tempo and play better might be a more apt description
January 1st, 2013 at 2:45 PM ^
Defense has done well besides the big plays but our offense has not dominated anything. Gardner can sure throw the ball, problem is our recievers are having a hard time getting open and our lack of size at the position shows in these type of games.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
Play Denard more damnit, ridiculous we dont use our best player
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
He has been playing a ton! What more do you want him to do? On 3rd down and long they put Smith in because of his blocking although he has had a tough day.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
I like him out of the tail. He's running tough and a few trips and lucky grabs from behind stopped big runs.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
I feel OK at halftime. Our D has controlled the line of scrimmage and just has given up the two big plays. If we can avoid turnovers and any more special teams gaffes, we've got a shot.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
Could see the fear in Spurrier's eyes at the half
January 1st, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
Get him on the edge/space instead of Btwn tackles
January 1st, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Fun half, very enjoyable. The talent gap between these teams is large, yet Michigan has a shot. I don't care much if we don't win, but it's nice to see a team coached competently and players that play hard even when they are physically overwhelmed.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
UM's OL is where the gap is large, but everywhere else I see comparable talent.
South Carolina has pretty pedestrian skill players on offense, save for Ace Sanders.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:53 PM ^
Probably the best secondary we've played all season, well except bama.
January 1st, 2013 at 3:05 PM ^
You're giving Michigan's guys too much credit I think. The gap between the two defensive secondaries is ginormous, as is the defensive lines. Despite that, our guys are coached well and are competing.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:40 PM ^
If Devin continues to make poor decisions and refuses to scramble, we aren't going to win this game. Also, our running backs are horrid.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
He makes poor decisions WHEN he scrambles. He runs right into the blitz every time.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
I don't think he's refused to scramble. I think he's tried and realized that they close very quickly.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Forget about the running backs.... outside of Toussaint we have no one that can run against this great SC d-line.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Denard breaks a long run on this first drive.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:40 PM ^
Not a bad half, gotta trust that mattison will make the necessary adjustments. Our offense just has to finish drives with TD's
January 1st, 2013 at 2:42 PM ^
How about trust Borges will make the necessary halftime adjustments. Remember the ohio game?
January 1st, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
is like trying to watch a crippled guy walk up an icy hill. No offense to crippled guys.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
We have 12 first downs and 182 yards. It hasn't been that bad.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
I know and if Devin would calm down and not go for the HR we would have scored at less once more.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
Northwestern and Nebraska are up, that's a good sign...Purdue not so much.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
I really like how our Defense is playing! Keeping hitting the QB! He is looking more banged up as the game goes on.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
Let's hope Al doesn't Al it up.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
I hope Al keeps it up. Maybe the problem at tOSU was a halftime lead?
January 1st, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
***OFFENSE***
Gardner has been waaay too excited. You wonder if the fratting during Bowl Week and the woofin the S. Carolina players are doing is getting in his head. He's playing like he's focused on proving them wrong than simply being a QB.
Lewan's CACK is slapped across Clowney's forehead...#owned
Our WRs aren't getting enough seperation (sorry of the season) and our interior OL is awful.
With that said, we're going to go as Devin goes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***DEFENSE***
Our defensive line is DOMINATING the LOS. They're outplaying The Gamecocks OLine and DLine.
LBs are playing well, although I haven't seen Demens...where is he?
Our secondary is awful without Countess and Floyd. "What could've been?"
January 1st, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
I think they want boldens speed out there.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Denard needs more touches from the Wildcat...he's the only one getting yards on the ground.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
Mattison will make his adjustments. We'll win if Al Borges makes his adjustments and we'll lose if he doesn't.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
First downs - Michigan 12-5
Yards - Michigan 182-163 (with the big SC plays)
Possession - Michigan 20:48 - 9:12
January 1st, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
Yeah I'll say it, Borges has called a heck of a first half. We'll see, but i'd love to see more denard and a few down the field shots with gallon or funchess.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:45 PM ^
It's mind boggling how little Denard is utilized
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
The game continueth.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Our D is absolutely dominant outside of apparently 50 yard passes. Our O has done somewhat well against a very good and deeply talented defense. The difference in the game right now is that 63 yard punt return, otherwise it's been fairly even.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Can someone Plz tell Lou holtz that are other teams in div one football besides the ones he has coached at!! My god its bad enough he's still deep throating Notre Lame but to hear him praise spurrier and the cocks oh my!! Glad to hear Mayes talk good bout Taylor though sick of hearing bout clowney!!
January 1st, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Borges has done a heck of a job against SC's athletes on defense. I trust that we will only give up 7 points max in the second half with Mattison.
January 1st, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
(1) Denard to the outside.
(2) Funchess in the flat.
(3) More points than South Carolina when time expires.
