SEC Opening Night

Temple Owls Upset Vanderbilt Commodores in 37-7 Demolition

Very little went right for Vanderbilt in a beatdown that raises questions about what the season has in store for the Commodores


Brandon Larrabee [1:19 AM]:

3rd
Temple 31
VanderbiLOLt 7

Brandon Larrabee [1:13 AM]:

An interception, and it’s getting really ugly in Nashville


Brandon Larrabee [1:02 AM]:

And now Vanderbilt coughs up the punt


Brandon Larrabee [12:51 AM]:

I think he still had it. My only question is whether they thought it wasn’t indisputable


VandyTigerPhD [12:46 AM]:

THere is no way in hell that was a fumble,


Brandon Larrabee [12:30 AM]:

It’s 21-7 now, by the way


Brandon Larrabee [12:17 AM]:

2nd 2:07
New Temple 14
Old Vanderbilt 7

Brandon Larrabee [12:01 AM]:

“Temple in a hurry-up mode.” Nothing about either of these offenses has been hurry-up tonight


Brandon Larrabee [11:49 PM]:

2nd 10:18
Can’t snap the ball cleanly 7
Uniform ne’er-do-wells 7

Brandon Larrabee [11:46 PM]:

1409283878

Ole Miss Rebels Pull Away from Boise State Broncos 35-13

It was far from pretty in the Georgia Dome, but it got the job done.


VandyTigerPhD [11:46 PM]:

leave it to Vanderbit to run up with a team of lawyers to object


Brandon Larrabee [11:43 PM]:

Vanderbilt got the email to the officials and now has their timeouts back


Brandon Larrabee [11:41 PM]:

Wait. Steve Shaw might have approved these uniforms in an email, and Vanderbilt is trying to get a copy to the officials. I am losing what little hope I had that the people in charge of college football have any idea what they’re doing


Brandon Larrabee [11:35 PM]:

Vanderbilt is losing a timeout each quarter for having “Anchor Down” instead of the player names on the back of their jerseys. Listen, I couldn’t make up something that stupid if I wanted to


Brandon Larrabee [11:29 PM]:

Well, Vanderbilt has a good punter, at least


Brandon Larrabee [11:21 PM]:

1st 3:47
Temple 7
Old Vanderbilt is back 0

David Wunderlich [11:21 PM]:

Don’t do this, Vandy


Brandon Larrabee [11:17 PM]:

And Temple just forced a turnover against Vanderbilt for good field position, so this is interesting now


Brandon Larrabee [11:11 PM]:

And Temple and Vanderbilt appear to be intent on setting a record for punts


Brandon Larrabee [10:57 PM]:

Temple-Vanderbilt is now underway


Brandon Larrabee [10:56 PM]:

@Year2 Yeah. It’s almost like I saw a team tonight that didn’t know how to do that


David Wunderlich [10:55 PM]:

I’ll give Ole Miss this: they know how to tackle well. It’s not as common a skill as it should be.


David Wunderlich [10:52 PM]:

4th 10:05
Finally awake 21
Fading fast 6

Brandon Larrabee [10:51 PM]:


David Wunderlich [10:37 PM]:

Big, Fast, Dumb 14
Undermanned but not dumb 6

Texas A&M Aggies Blast South Carolina Gamecocks, 52-28, Shaking Up the Season

The Gamecocks aren’t as good as we thought and the Aggies aren’t as bad as we thought. But we might know less now than we did before Thursday night’s game


David Wunderlich [10:08 PM]:

The Rebel defense is bailing out its dumb offense


David Wunderlich [10:01 PM]:

Ole Miss puts in the running QB for fourth and short and the shotgun snap goes off of his leg. Of course.


David Wunderlich [9:57 PM]:

Ole Miss could be really, really good if it doesn’t step on its own feet constantly


VandyTigerPhD [9:35 PM]:

@Year2 lol that is so TAMU


David Wunderlich [9:34 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD You’re right. It comes from frog gigging.


Brandon Larrabee [9:33 PM]:

I will be back shortly, but I have to go write a recap of the A&M-S.C. game. After I jab a fork into the back of my hand


VandyTigerPhD [9:32 PM]:

I sseem to remember that Gig ’em started as a derrogatory about TCU, but I could be misremembering what that Red Raider was telling me


VandyTigerPhD [9:31 PM]:

the most Spurrier way to call the last play


Brandon Larrabee [9:26 PM]:

South Carolina has officially allowed more yards than it did under Tyrone Nix. There are no words


Brandon Larrabee [9:26 PM]:


David Wunderlich [9:24 PM]:

Ole Miss is very big, very fast, and very dumb. It could beat or lose to anyone.


Brandon Larrabee [9:21 PM]:

@Lord Henry Wotton’s Dawg At least with probation you have no reason to hope


Brandon Larrabee [9:20 PM]:

Meanwhile, Ole Miss-Boise State is the opposite of A&M-South Carolina


Lord Henry Wotton's Dawg [9:19 PM]:

College football is a cruel mistress unless you’re Alabama. If you’re Alabama, you’ll have periods of trancendence followed by related periods of probation. There must be comfort in that. Mostly kidding, of course.


Brandon Larrabee [9:14 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [9:09 PM]:

4th 12:09
Texas A&M all the points
South Carolina none of them

David Wunderlich [9:09 PM]:

There’s the stat I was looking for


Brandon Larrabee [9:07 PM]:

They’re saying the kickoff for Vanderbilt will now be 10:06


VandyTigerPhD [9:05 PM]:

the defense isnt even trying to strip it


VandyTigerPhD [9:04 PM]:

Temple vs Coach Mason, and Coach Mason alone. -ESPN


David Wunderlich [9:02 PM]:

It’s almost jarring to see solid goal line defense from Ole Miss after SC-A&M


VandyTigerPhD [9:00 PM]:

eerrrrr was that late?


Brandon Larrabee [8:59 PM]:

DAGGER


VandyTigerPhD [8:58 PM]:

wow what a second effort


David Wunderlich [8:57 PM]:

Can’t tell if prevent defense or just A&M defense


VandyTigerPhD [8:56 PM]:

@Brandon Larrabee lol


David Wunderlich [8:55 PM]:

Carolina’s best defensive play has been “A&M receiver drop”


Brandon Larrabee [8:55 PM]:

Bo Wallace just threw the ball right to his man. Unfortunately, his man was wearing a Boise jersey


VandyTigerPhD [8:54 PM]:

this is like watching ur friends play video games….


Brandon Larrabee [8:54 PM]:

@Year2 Exactly


VandyTigerPhD [8:53 PM]:

ground and pound, run first football


VandyTigerPhD [8:53 PM]:

i miss old football


David Wunderlich [8:52 PM]:

South Carolina will keep scoring, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t get any stops at all


Brandon Larrabee [8:52 PM]:

3rd 2:38
Team with some defense 45
Team with no defense 28

VandyTigerPhD [8:51 PM]:

NICK JONES. NICK JOOOOOONES


Brandon Larrabee [8:50 PM]:

Even when Thompson completes throws, he’s overthrowing his man


VandyTigerPhD [8:50 PM]:

gaaghaghrghrrhhrhrhhhh


Brandon Larrabee [8:46 PM]:

1st 0:57
Ole Miss 7
Boise State 0

VandyTigerPhD [8:45 PM]:

lol that vandy game is getting delayed til…. saturday


Brandon Larrabee [8:43 PM]:

3rd 5:06
Texas A&M 45
South Carolina 21

Brandon Larrabee [8:42 PM]:

And that removes all doubt


Brandon Larrabee [8:38 PM]:

South Carolina tries an on-sides kick, but it fails


Brandon Larrabee [8:38 PM]:

It’s 38-21 for A&M. I’m sick of correcting it


Brandon Larrabee [8:32 PM]:

South Carolina has something going on this drive, but it might be way too late


Brandon Larrabee [8:27 PM]:

“That’s not an accurate call.” Rece Davis, master of understatement


Brandon Larrabee [8:26 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [8:21 PM]:

Georgia’s march to the SEC East Championship has begun


David Wunderlich [8:18 PM]:

That breakdown by the Gamecocks was inevitable.


Brandon Larrabee [8:18 PM]:

At this rate, South Carolina’s not just going to lose, they’re going to get blown out


David Wunderlich [8:16 PM]:

Boise State isn’t going to get to 20 points without help from the Ole Miss defense.


Brandon Larrabee [8:16 PM]:

That’s not man-to-man coverage, it’s man-to-no-man coverage


Brandon Larrabee [8:14 PM]:

What was the middle of the S.C. line doing?


David Wunderlich [8:13 PM]:

Way to learn something, A&M. You usually don’t get flags if you actually turn around.


Brandon Larrabee [8:12 PM]:

Spurrier is going to throw. A lot


VandyTigerPhD [8:11 PM]:

@Brandon Larrabee thank god they may not know who I am… although they can easily just check their server logs lol


VandyTigerPhD [8:11 PM]:

@Brandon Larrabee yeah, they emailed the email i have publicly listed, was p cool


Brandon Larrabee [8:10 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD O RLY?


VandyTigerPhD [8:10 PM]:

@Brandon Larrabee btw I heard from VZ themselves regarding that fanpost. lol.


VandyTigerPhD [8:09 PM]:

@Brandon Larrabee iz cool bro


Brandon Larrabee [8:09 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD Yeah, my mind is kind of numb right now


VandyTigerPhD [8:08 PM]:

Vanderbilt? our gae doesnt start for another hour


David Wunderlich [8:08 PM]:

Ole Miss kind of tried to get a 15-yard penalty on defense. Boise succeeds.


Brandon Larrabee [8:07 PM]:

Two complete passes gets Vanderbilt back to the original line of scrimmage. But the late hit will move them much farther


Brandon Larrabee [8:04 PM]:

That hurt


David Wunderlich [8:04 PM]:

Ole Miss’s guys are noticeably bigger and faster. We’ll see if it matters, but it’s there.


VandyTigerPhD [8:03 PM]:

nobody tell Temple, ill take every advantage i can


Brandon Larrabee [8:03 PM]:

Red is apparently not the jersey color you want to go with tonight


David Wunderlich [8:02 PM]:

Based on the opening kickoff, we’re going to have a huge shoving match before halftime.


Jake Nazar [8:02 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD The MAC CCG is the best, dude


Brandon Larrabee [8:02 PM]:

Actually, scratch that. Temple’s back in the Big American Whosyacallit


VandyTigerPhD [8:01 PM]:

the game could be two 1-10 SEC teams, and I’d watch it as opposed to the MAC CCG


Brandon Larrabee [8:00 PM]:

SEC vs. MACtion


VandyTigerPhD [7:59 PM]:

/shrug, Im used to watching Vandy be incompetent. Im excited to see how the 3-4 works for us.


Jake Nazar [7:57 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD I’m excited for the clusterfuck that will be Vandy-Temple, though


VandyTigerPhD [7:57 PM]:

I gotta be honest, im more excited for LSU-Wisc than I am the Vandy-Temple game


Brandon Larrabee [7:55 PM]:

Kenny Hill is on pace to throw for 598 yards in this game


Jake Nazar [7:55 PM]:

One game is at half-time and WE HAVE ANOTHER STARTING NOW COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS THE BEST


VandyTigerPhD [7:54 PM]:

SO I ENJOY THINGS QUITE A BIT


VandyTigerPhD [7:53 PM]:

TO be honest, I enjoy looking like a moron almost more than i like gloating about a correct prediction


Brandon Larrabee [7:53 PM]:

Haha this looks really dumb right now http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2014/8/28/6077475/texas-a-m-aggies-vs-south-carolina-gamecocks-preview-tv-time (curls into fetal position)


David Wunderlich [7:52 PM]:

Defensive adjustments, coach? “Rush the passer. Cover some guys. That kind of stuff.”


VandyTigerPhD [7:51 PM]:

Spurrier Owns so hard. Real Talk, all the time


Brandon Larrabee [7:50 PM]:

“They’re kicking our butts.” Steve Spurrier, master analyst


David Wunderlich [7:50 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD It did have the distance.


Brandon Larrabee [7:50 PM]:

@VandyTigerPhD I don’t think it missed by much, from where it was kicked


VandyTigerPhD [7:49 PM]:

was it my terrible feed, or did it look like that had the distance?


Brandon Larrabee [7:49 PM]:

THEY CAN RETURN THIS, S.C.


VandyTigerPhD [7:47 PM]:

everytime i hear Nick Jones, i cannot help but to think of the Robocop villain


Brandon Larrabee [7:45 PM]:

And Bad Dylan is back


Brandon Larrabee [7:45 PM]:

Good Dylan is back


Jake Nazar [7:45 PM]:

Big play there


Brandon Larrabee [7:44 PM]:

2nd 1:16
Texas A&M 31
South Carolina 14

wamarsh [7:42 PM]:

The DBs are doing as poorly getting off block as they are in pass coverage.


David Wunderlich [7:42 PM]:

If speed option to the short side works, South Carolina’s in more trouble than we thought.


Brandon Larrabee [7:42 PM]:

South Carolina needs to score before the halftime right now


Brandon Larrabee [7:40 PM]:

@wamarsh You would think


wamarsh [7:39 PM]:

Uncatchable though, right?


Brandon Larrabee [7:39 PM]:

A&M coudl have 25 first downs in the first half tonight


Brandon Larrabee [7:37 PM]:

I don’t want to think about it. I’m hoping for a turnover and 24-21, but I doubt it happens


David Wunderlich [7:36 PM]:

I’m going to say 27-14.


David Wunderlich [7:36 PM]:

OK, prediction time. What’s the halftime score going to be?


Brandon Larrabee [7:35 PM]:

Defense hung back on that screen


Brandon Larrabee [7:32 PM]:

Thompson overthrows everyone


David Wunderlich [7:32 PM]:

Even if that’s a miscommunication, Thompson still overthrew Anderson


wamarsh [7:30 PM]:

Does Palmer get to go 5 o’clock shade on SECN? It’s like ESPN After Dark


Jake Nazar [7:28 PM]:

It may not of been a penalty…..but that’s because they can’t stick with Byrd


Brandon Larrabee [7:28 PM]:

I take that back. It wasn’t a “had to” call, but flaggable


Brandon Larrabee [7:27 PM]:

Not sure about that flag, but I’ll take it


wamarsh [7:26 PM]:

Carolina is staying two TE too. Did the coaches visit Stanford this summer? Spread it out, create leverage, and then run it on A&M.


David Wunderlich [7:26 PM]:

The only real reason not to just chuck it deep every play is to get the Gamecock defense some rest.


Brandon Larrabee [7:26 PM]:

Does Dylan Thompson realize that if he throws the ball out of bounds, he doesn’t lose any yards?


wamarsh [7:25 PM]:

S Carolina is committed to running the ball, even if they have to run an outside sweep BAH GAWD


David Wunderlich [7:25 PM]:

If you don’t look back, you’re asking for DPI.


Brandon Larrabee [7:22 PM]:

Those last two sentences from Jesse Palmer. So Jesse Palmerian


David Wunderlich [7:20 PM]:

Kenny Hill has 241 passing yards in a quarter and a half. Carolina allowed that many just three times last year.


Brandon Larrabee [7:19 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [7:18 PM]:

2ND 7:07
TEXAS A&M 24
SOUTH CAROLINA LOOKING LIKE OLD SOUTH CAROLINA 14

wamarsh [7:17 PM]:

That was a helluva throw


wamarsh [7:17 PM]:

Hal Mumme taught tackling fundamentals in fall camp, USC?


David Wunderlich [7:17 PM]:

It’s not tempo, Jesse. It’s time of possession that’s wearing out the D. Can’t get off the field.


Brandon Larrabee [7:16 PM]:

Bad angles, mistackles. yeesh


Jake Nazar [7:16 PM]:

South Carolina doesn’t know what “tackle” means


David Wunderlich [7:16 PM]:

I’m not sure South Carolina practiced tackling in fall camp.


Brandon Larrabee [7:14 PM]:

How many Gamecocks does it take to bring down the runner? Many


David Wunderlich [7:13 PM]:

Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Pinky?


wamarsh [7:11 PM]:

I will too


wamarsh [7:11 PM]:


David Wunderlich [7:11 PM]:


David Wunderlich [7:10 PM]:

I’ll take it when I can get it.


David Wunderlich [7:10 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [7:09 PM]:

2ND 9:47
OVERWHELMED SECONDARY 17
SLIGHTLY MORE OVERWHELMED SECONDARY 14

David Wunderlich [7:09 PM]:

So, uh, maybe A&M should work on covering deep.


Jake Nazar [7:08 PM]:

One particularly rough thing with A&M’s defense is how easy it is to get big plays on them……….and there you go


David Wunderlich [7:07 PM]:

I feel like if Carolina just relaxes and goes simple, there will be guys open like on that play.


wamarsh [7:07 PM]:

The pass is there. A&M is selling out on the run.


wamarsh [7:06 PM]:

@brandon ah, your offense will be fine. See how that Aggie defensive front feels stopping the run in the 3rd and 4th Q. I’d be more worried about keeping it close until then


Brandon Larrabee [7:05 PM]:

@wamarsh I’m more worried about the adjustments Spurrier’s going to make right now


wamarsh [7:05 PM]:

I wonder what tactical adjustments Ward is going to make


David Wunderlich [7:04 PM]:

What I want to know is how many more plays Hill has left to go. Manziel got 17 in the 1H in his first game but then started running all the same plays over again and didn’t score again.


Brandon Larrabee [7:02 PM]:

1ST 11:56
TEXAS A&M 17
FORMER SEC EAST FRONT-RUNNER 7

Jake Nazar [7:02 PM]:

A&M’s Secondary is bad. South Carolina’s Secondary is bad. WHO WILL OWN IT?


wamarsh [7:02 PM]:

Hill looked for the fade first but that was defended well. Luckily he has a cornucopia of weapons.


David Wunderlich [7:01 PM]:

The quick slant at the goal line: 65% of the time, it works every time.


Brandon Larrabee [7:01 PM]:

The secondary. It burns my eye balls


Jake Nazar [7:00 PM]:

Hill got pretty lucky there


Brandon Larrabee [7:00 PM]:

In the words of EA Sports: “ALMOOOOOOOST INTERCEPTED


David Wunderlich [6:58 PM]:


wamarsh [6:56 PM]:

No doubt. They did a great job. I realize I’m being nit-picky.


groggydog [6:56 PM]:

@wamarsh I don’t mind that so much. I’m just happy they did more pregame and have better in-game stuff. This is why I like CFB.


David Wunderlich [6:55 PM]:

Seals-Jones is problematic for defenses.


wamarsh [6:55 PM]:

@groggydog, ya know, I kinda wish it was more different from ESPN’s graphics.


Brandon Larrabee [6:55 PM]:

@groggydog Yeah. Much better than the SEC Now roll-out


Jake Nazar [6:55 PM]:

Currently watching on an illegal stream because WatchESPN has crashed. Wahoo!


wamarsh [6:55 PM]:

Lorenzo Ward is gonna need some throat lozenges tomorrow morning.


groggydog [6:54 PM]:

I feel like the SEC Network has done a great job with ambiance so far. I realize this is not super technical, but it stands.


Brandon Larrabee [6:53 PM]:

Wide open man in the middle of the field


Brandon Larrabee [6:50 PM]:

File that under “foreseeable problems”


Brandon Larrabee [6:50 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [6:49 PM]:

@wamarsh Lot of potential. If he can consistently play up to his ability, could be a huge receiver. Wouldn’t say he’s been a disappointment so far, but not been quite as big as expected


wamarsh [6:47 PM]:

Brandon, how do S Carolina fans feel about Shaq Roland?


David Wunderlich [6:47 PM]:

South Carolina kinda telegraphed that the play wasn’t going to be a run by not picking up the towel


Brandon Larrabee [6:46 PM]:

Davis is a lot like a more durable Lattimore: Hard to bring down but not as fragile


wamarsh [6:44 PM]:

Smart play call. Your rookie QB in 3rd and long. Make it easy on him.


Brandon Larrabee [6:44 PM]:

3rd and 16 is not “3rd and California,” Jesse


David Wunderlich [6:44 PM]:

A&M’s O-line has been 90% great and 10% complete breakdown.


David Wunderlich [6:43 PM]:

I am not sure what that play was, but that was not the decision to make by Hill.


Brandon Larrabee [6:43 PM]:

And now the S.C. defensive line shows up


wamarsh [6:43 PM]:

More four man fronts for USC this series.


Brandon Larrabee [6:43 PM]:

Wideouts don’t usually get that open against the prevent defense


wamarsh [6:43 PM]:

Brent, that DB took a terrible angle


wamarsh [6:41 PM]:

Narratives are already being rewritten on Twitter


Brandon Larrabee [6:41 PM]:

1ST 3:44
KENNY HILL 10
SUDDENLY ALIVE OFFENSE 7

David Wunderlich [6:41 PM]:

Great focus by Jones on that ball, too. That could’ve been a drop.


David Wunderlich [6:40 PM]:

That’ll get the home crowd back in it.


Brandon Larrabee [6:40 PM]:

That’s what Dylan Thompson can do. Whether he can do it consistently is the key


wamarsh [6:39 PM]:

we know and love


wamarsh [6:39 PM]:

There’s that A&M defense


wamarsh [6:39 PM]:

A&M is selling out on the run


Brandon Larrabee [6:39 PM]:

Here’s the thing for A&M: If they keep pushing S.C. like this, Spurrier is going to start throwing with reckless abandon, which is where A&M wants him to be


Brandon Larrabee [6:38 PM]:

Everyone in the stadium knew that was coming


David Wunderlich [6:38 PM]:

Hey, there’s Mike Davis.


wamarsh [6:36 PM]:

20% away from covering the OVER


wamarsh [6:36 PM]:

5 min left in the 1Q and we are 20


Brandon Larrabee [6:35 PM]:

1ST 5:02
KENNY HILL 10
BEST OFFENSIVE LINE IN THE COUNTRY 0

David Wunderlich [6:34 PM]:

That drop bailed out SC.


wamarsh [6:33 PM]:

QB draw here?


wamarsh [6:33 PM]:

Get the stop and run Davis for a 8 min drive. Get that D some rest.


Brandon Larrabee [6:32 PM]:


David Wunderlich [6:32 PM]:

I’ve counted two instances of “SEC conference” from Brent so far. #ATMmachine


wamarsh [6:31 PM]:

This live chat feature is pretty neat


David Wunderlich [6:30 PM]:

Nope just one. They got a first down, but only on a PI penalty.


Brandon Larrabee [6:30 PM]:

@wamarsh No. And I’m not sure that counted as a possession. A PI was the only productive play


wamarsh [6:30 PM]:

I just got in. Has S Carolina had more than one offensive possession yet?


Brandon Larrabee [6:30 PM]:

Open for five yards in every direction


David Wunderlich [6:29 PM]:

We’ve secretly switched South Carolina’s defense with Folgers Crystals. Let’s see if anyone notices.


wamarsh [6:27 PM]:

This Hill guy is looking prettay prettay pretty good


David Wunderlich [6:27 PM]:

Run coverage, but yeah, you nailed it


Brandon Larrabee [6:27 PM]:

Coverage breakdown pending


Brandon Larrabee [6:26 PM]:

JADEVEON CLOWNEY CONDITIONING RETURNS


wamarsh [6:25 PM]:

What is happening?!?


David Wunderlich [6:24 PM]:

Nice find by Hill on the sideline. Impressive


Brandon Larrabee [6:23 PM]:

Well, that was special by Kenny Hill


David Wunderlich [6:22 PM]:

Spurrier’s SC teams have had some slow starts in years past. He has to hope that’s all this is.


Brandon Larrabee [6:20 PM]:

Defense sputtering and offense struggling to get any consistency — this is pretty much all the worries anyone had about S.C.


David Wunderlich [6:19 PM]:

Both of A&M’s lines are looking good


Brandon Larrabee [6:18 PM]:

“The best offensive line in the country” just got mauled on the run


David Wunderlich [6:17 PM]:

That was clearly a penalty though. Good flag.


Brandon Larrabee [6:17 PM]:

Bailed out by an unnecessary pass interference


Brandon Larrabee [6:15 PM]:

The best offensive line in the country struggles and Dylan Thompson overthrows


David Wunderlich [6:15 PM]:

New QB starter overthrows receiver.


Brandon Larrabee [6:15 PM]:

South Carolina’s secondary was … not impressive


Brandon Larrabee [6:14 PM]:


David Wunderlich [6:14 PM]:

A&M’s O-line was pretty impressive on that drive.


Brandon Larrabee [6:12 PM]:

1st
TEXAS A&M 7
SOUTH CAROLINA 0

David Wunderlich [6:11 PM]:

There it is.


Brandon Larrabee [6:10 PM]:

That gives the S.C. defense another opportunity to give up the touchdown


David Wunderlich [6:07 PM]:

This is reminding me some of Manziel’s first game vs. Florida in 2012: keep things basic, put the QB in a place to succeed


Brandon Larrabee [6:06 PM]:

So far, I would say that the concerns about the defense were not overstated


David Wunderlich [6:05 PM]:

New QB starter overthrows receiver. m going to create a keyboard macro for that.


Brandon Larrabee [6:04 PM]:

Well, this could have gone better


David Wunderlich [6:04 PM]:

Kevin Swingpass


David Wunderlich [6:02 PM]:

…and the season begins with the ball getting blown off the tee by the wind. Hopefully it’s not a sign.


Brandon Larrabee [6:01 PM]:

SANDSTORM


Brandon Larrabee [6:00 PM]:

Mike Leach once said Williams-Brice was not the loudest stadium in college football, but one end of it was the loudest place in college football


David Wunderlich [5:59 PM]:

I just hope your TV remote makes it through the night in one piece.


Brandon Larrabee [5:58 PM]:

I save aneurysms for mistakes. Just lightheaded right now


David Wunderlich [5:57 PM]:

So Brandon, as the resident Gamecock, are you 50% of the way to an aneurysm or 90%?


Brandon Larrabee [5:57 PM]:


Brandon Larrabee [5:55 PM]:

FOOTBALL!


David Wunderlich [5:55 PM]:

Oh man, it’s been too long, football. Welcome back.
