UGA is by far the best team in the nation.

We have two easy wins against patsy ooc gimmie games, putting us at 3-2.

I trust in Satterfield to right the ship and return Rattler to his Heisman contender form.

 

[Dod Rangerfield]

We’re the University of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks. We don’t have gimme games.

 

[Carolina Doc]

I think we all knew we would be 1-2 after three games.

Yes I did, but expected a little more fight today. I was expecting max 6 wins, might miss that.....

I was on the ledge 18-19 months ago...I'm still teetering. You're correct- UGA is pretty obviously the best team in the nation.
Lunacy talk regarding Satterfield. Righting the ship? I wish he would've right that ship in the last 15-16 games. Heisman? Come on man... that's silly.

Yes, but I think we all thought we would put up a fight against Arkansas and Georgia. I didn't see many positives we could take away from this weekend.

 

[Palmetto Sun 2001]

Marcus sure wasn’t a positive nor his play calling. Horrific

I was hoping the boatload of sarcasm would come across.

The uga being number 1 is true and we do have two patsy games that will put us at 3-2, but I have no faith that some lightbulb is going to pop on for the team. These last two games weren't even competitive. I would be more confident if a little fight was evident.

We didn't roll over against Arky like we did today against GA. We did show some poise and come back and get in position to make a game of it in Fayetteville. GA will no doubt crush many teams this year. Not giving up on this team or Beamer just yet. Injuries on defense are concerning and really hurt us today. Some young players are going to have to mature quicker than expected. Every game is going to require our full attention (no gimmes) as a team, staff and fans but we can salvage this with some hard work and focus and surprise some folks. I do think we need to play Rattler and Doty in rotation depending on who is getting the job done. Doty did some good things today and looked comfortable which I think we need on offense.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Whatever positives we thought we could take away from the Arky game are nuked

And Arkansas is losing to Missouri state just before half.

It makes you wonder how much good feelings you can take from "making a game of it".

That being said, I do strongly believe both of these next two games are easy gimmies still. This is Charlotte and SC State.

You do realize Doty faced the Georgia third team defense? If Kirby had put even half the starters back in on the last drive we would not have scored a point in this game. The coaches see both qbs in practice. They know who is the best.

How good can you really feel about beating the next two teams? At some point the team has to win a game against a comparably talented opponent.

B.S. you sunshine pumper. It was their forth string.

Oh I don't think we should take a lot of happy feelings off beating a winless Charlotte team (so far) and SC State. I think some will try, regardless. I just think there's no way we lose the two games.

And I agree, at some point a win has to come against a comparable team.

 

[Prestonyte]

Sunshine and blue sky

 

[Guy in the Back]

Can’t say Doty is the answer. What I can say is that Rattler does not see the field well. There were opportunities to hit underneath stuff and in the flats, but he holds on to the ball to long and ends up forcing the ball.

That said, we don’t have a consistent running game right now. Couple that with a defense that creates little pressure and does not tackle well, it is a bad combo.

I didn’t expect to go toe to toe with Georgia. But we looked lost and intimidated. I knew it was bad when their QB plays faster than our DBs.

 

[USCME]

That's condescending right?

Charlotte and State may be comparable!

 

[Palmetto Sun 2001]

Agreed! Very well could lose.
If Marcus & Arn Anderson’s older fatter brother (Adkins) are gonna be involved I’ll never like our chances. Nice Men = Losses. Shane can’t even fake being mean

Agree with most of what you say, but Doty was going against the UGA 4th team.

I agree with points one and two, but I have little faith in Satterfield at this point. He seems lost from a play-calling perspective and I've not seen much improvement from last year to this year. That 3rd and 6 with Joyner was the last straw for me; he's just got zero situational game awareness.

The biggest problem I have with Satterfield is that nobody even knows, 16 games into his tenure, what kind of offense we're trying to be.

 

[gcockwin]

WILDCAT BABY

 

[18IsTheMan]

I was surprised to learn that was the largest margin of victory in the series. We've had some pretty bad teams in the past, so I figured we' have been clobbered as bad or worse at some point.

Whatever the case, they beat current #15 Oregon worse than they did us, so I don't want to make too much of the loss.

I thought I read Charlotte beat GA ST last weekend.

We got ‘em right where we want em, our opponents look lost trying to figure us out!

 

[18IsTheMan]

Yeah, for their first win of the season, 42-41. So far they have lost 43-13 to FAU, 41-24 to William and Mary and 56-21 to MD. We need to put up big numbers in this game. Score as much as we can. This needs to be a game we use to work out whatever is ailing our offense. If we can't do it against this team, then it won't happen. I'm not saying to run up the score just to make ourselves feel better after the UGA game, but we better hope we can execute our offense and score easily.

For some reason people expect us (not in top 30) to beat or come close in a game with #1 team in nation.

 

[gcockwin]

It's not about beating or coming close. It's about looking like a competent well coached football team win or lose. We have looked like trash in all 3 games, regardless of competition level.

Not sure why this concept is so difficult for some to grasp.

I'm even willing to throw away the uga game.

Has the team looked like a competent well coached team in other games?

As much as uga is a throw away game, the next two are as well, imo.

I only expected us to not look like a 3 year old having their candy taken away.

 

[Atlanta Cock]

It’s because we look no better than last year. No progress. In some instances we look worse despite all the preseason hype of a new QB and other transfers. Fundamentally we look terrible on D and the O suffers the exact same faults as last year.

 

[BigJC]

The last game doesn't show anything about the USC team. There was no way we could stay on the field with Georgia. Kirby has built a legitimate Death Star in Athens. The sleeping giant that was Georgia football for the past 35 years has awakened and unless Kirby gets old an loses energy that monster isn't going back to sleep any time soon. There was no way we were going to challenge them on the field.

That said; the next two games mean nothing as well. We will win both of them easily but we don't need to think we are better than we are because of the next two games. All the games after the next two, including Vandy, will tell us if we are any better than last season.

When are the 2 east wins coming?

 

[gamecock stock]

I think we have a decent shot against VANDY and Missouri.

And, as hard as it may be to believe, we may be able to beat Texas A&M, of the west. The only 2 times Satterfield produced big against an FBS opponent last year was UF and UNC. He had more than one week to prepare for both. He will have an extra week to prepare for for the Aggies. I'm not predicting wins in those games. I'm just talking possibilities.
