Questionable to probably in one day! We have a chance now. Offense needs to show up this week in a big way.

Could just be gamesmanship to keep Missouri thinking they need to prepare for Sellers
I don't know about y'all, but I want to see the kid play! He's a beast when he's on and is just plain fun to watch.
I also want to see what all this tutelage under Shula has done for his game. We've seen 2 amazing drives where he looks like a Heisman candidate. And we've seen a lot other crap that's hard to tell whether it's the OL or the playcalling or just bad QB'ing.
I'm not confident we have what it takes this year to beat Mizzou, but if we do, it'll likely be because of Sellers. Praying he doesn't get hurt again.

From all that can be observed through the first three games it doesn’t matter who is playing, Gamecocks will lose. Unless they have one of those random big games that have kinda been a Beamer staple. But it’s too early in the season for one of those. Missouri probably wins by 3 scores.
There is always a chance!
Things are usually not as bad or good as they look, the truth is usually somewhere in between so I think is always a chance.
And I don't really know if there special team is good or not, ifs not, we will expose them!

If he gets injured again in this game due to not being 100% and misses substantial playing time or even misses the rest of the season, Beamer is going to have a lot explaining to do.
If he plays sellers and sellers gets hurt, its a mistake. But if he plays sellers and this win is the difference in playoffs, or making a bowl, its a great decision.
Same for if he doesnt play him.
That's why he makes enough in one year to retire.
Ewww…concussions are no joke. Not sure how I feel about 1 week recovery. Depends on the severity I guess. Did Cole visit LaNorris in the IC ward or something?
I held it in KingWard. Remembering how we’ve looked so far with Sellers was enough to curb any overly optimistic expectations. Just happy the injury wasn’t worse.
If Sellers plays, it will at least be a possibility. A possibility worth keeping us rooted to the TV.
Oh, I agree. I was just throwing out a hypothetical as an example.
If Missouri is a win, and we end up with 6, it was a good thing sellers came back, etc.
Disagree, if we win this week everything is in play again. If we get blown out, then sure,4-6 wins is the ceiling. Let’s not worry about the rest of the season until we see what happens this week. I know, it hasn’t looked good, but this week could turn it around or confirm our worst fears. I’m not ready to pack it in and just go trout fishing every Saturday yet. Let it play out. If it goes bad, you fishing guys come join me. If there is hope, keep firing up the grill each Saturday and watch Gamecock football. And to be honest, if it goes bad I’m still listening to our boys play while I’m hooking rainbows on a creek.
How do they "look" scripted? They may be, everyone says they were. I'm just asking, how do they look to be?
I don't know either for sure; just seems like they worked perfectly, but not much after that.
Excellent question. IMO, scripted means the first drive of the game, it appears that lots of thought went into each play, the plays were creative, not a lot of getting up to the line and looking to the sideline, but most of all every play resulted in positive yards and a TD at the end. Edit: and the remainder of the play calls look nothing like the first drive!
Imo, you touched on the right answer with the "not a lot of looking around". The players, with scripted plays, are all on the same page.
It's not a measurable difference, it just seems the players get ready and execute fluidly. Then we tend play as if we're confused.
The first drives have been great but you can chalk some of that up to the opposing defense seeing it for the first time. Unfortunately so far this season when the opposing defense makes adjustments later in the game, our offense isn't making appropriate adjustments to counter.
We are just bots agreeing with each other
I think the opening drive are the only plays they practice during the week. After that...
More than likely they were. Most coordinators script their first 10-15 plays.
The way the OC would traditionally do this is, Tuesday you’d have 25 plays to run through. Then based on how they worked in practice, player execution, feedback from the DC and HC, you’d narrow it down to 18-20 on Wednesday. Same again and by Thursday you’d narrow have 10-15 plays you feel strong about. On Friday you run those plays over and over again until they’re second nature. During the walk through it’s about all you discuss with the exception of the defenses best run/pass blitz. That’s your script.
Why? TwoWe're doing it wrong then.
Of our best drives have been opening drives. Vatech and Vandy
