We’ve had some bad ones. The 0-11/1-10 teams had so many injuries we had d lineman switched over mid season to o l. This team has zero excuses.

I always felt bad for big John Abraham. A stud DE that played his last two years here on two of our worst teams in history.

Guys….i know it hasn’t been pretty the last couple games, but have we really already forgotten the UNC opener 2 years ago? I’ve never seen a worse o-line performance than that.

The two punt returns for TDs were nice.

But why haven’t we been able to throw a few nice long juicy TouchDowns? This is f’ing SC State! No RBs drilling their way into the end zone or anything. 🥱

I don’t know who, but someone on offensive staff needs to be fired tonight!

I dont know. If it wasn't for punt returns we would not be winning a game we were favored by 50 to win.
Im afraid when we play Oklahoma or LSU we won't score at all.

I’ll pile on….. OL is absolutely pathetic!!! SC State - SC STATE - defenders pour through the line like we have 10yr olds on the line. They just run right through, nearly unimpeded!! I’d fire Teasley tonight. It’s. SC. STATE!!

You play like you practice. No urgency tonight. Must been a slack week of practice

OL looks a teeny bit better here in the second half - couldn’t look much worse, so it’s a low bar.

Beamer praised last weeks OL performance against Virginia Tech. Unbelievable. I don't know what Teasley has on Beamer. But whatever it is, it must be a doozy.

What's crazy is how well we have recruited on the Oline, something is just not adding up. Granted they are just being to play with each other however, they don't seem physical or athletic as you would think.

Urban Meyer has said that the two most important hires on a football staff are: Strength and Conditioning Coordinator and Offensive Line.

Between the team I saw play Virginia Tech on a neutral field last week and the team I saw play Virginia Tech at Blacksburg last night, I have no doubt that the team that played VT at Blacksburg will win this coming Saturday, maybe easily.

If Beamer praises the offensive line's performance like he did last week, he will lose all credibility.

Vandy should not be pre-dismissed. They got behind 20-10 at VT before going on a 34-0 run. They are better coached than we are, even if we should bring more talent.

I've only watched 3 or 4 minutes of reply, as I didn't watch the game but what I see immediately is their #11 in our backfield after lining up in front of Thompson. (that kid looks like MCconklin from GA.) Thompson whiffed badly on a couple of plays against him. I know he was heralded as Freshman this and that last year, but I had questions then. These few plays confirm if he is our best we aint got much. Pringle may have been dejected because he was playing behind weaker players. Simpson was the player last year that played with fire in his belly and often would scrum with defenders. THAT is what we need and don't have. Player development at this position is poor. we have signed about eight 4 stars in the last 3 years. Where is 4-star performance?

As a child, I always cheered for Wile E. Coyote. I watched every episode wanting this to be the one where he finally catches the road runner.

Does that scream "Gamecock fan"?

I have no clue either, I just hate to see another year of a decent qb with enough skill player talent go to waste! I have seen several comments pre-season that this was the most cohesive unit we’ve had, well their expectations must not be very high or something! I will be tuning into John Strickland this week, he was also talking them up pretty strong, but he won’t pull any punches in his analysis either!

I see that CBS Sports" Brad Crawford was critical of our offensive line, too. It's a shame that Beamer did not make a move on Teasley last year. Maybe he was waiting on someone to "steal" him like Nebraska "stole" Satterfield. If Teasley has any sense, he will be updating his resume. In the meantime, if I was Beamer, I would switch Elliott and Teasley. At least when Elliott was here coaching the OL, we won the SEC East one season and 11 games each the following 3 seasons. I was not all that impressed by Elliott's OLs. But, we did get positive results, finishing among the nation's Top 10 in each of those 3 seasons. Switching them might tick off Teasley. But, what's the worst he could do? Quit?

Something's gotta give, but Beamer's loyal - loyal to a fault with coaches it would seem. We are wasting Sellers' abilities behind an atrocious OL as precious games of eligibility tick away.
