If you could change one play from the 2012 season, what would it be?

This is the play I was thinking about as well

We were driving to score and win. That throw ended it. That loss seemed to sour the next game against Florida. It was like a hangover.

Shaw over throw INT at LSU

[pantera17]

Connor's int at LSU. And Connor's first play fumble at UF. Still haven't got over that. I mean first play. Really?


If I could change one thing (not play) it would be lattimore. For sure. If I could change one more thing it would be that Dylan started form game one. I honestly think we would have had a better chance to win out. As fast as he learns.

Michigan hit , Wish Clowney took it to the house.

I would have moved the UGA game to it's "normal" spot in the schedule. UGA, LSU and UF was just too tough in one stretch...

This, if we're not talking about the non-football results of a play (Latt's injury otherwise).

[pantera17]

Actually I change instead of Dylan starting I wish Connor would have never got hurt. I feel with either way we would have gone all the way

[GamecockSuperFan]

We were still in it when Connor threw that late INT at LSU. What's even worse was he had a guy open and just overshot him.. Sucks. Other than that I'd like to have a few of those fumbles back at Florida but that was just a terrible day all around.

I don't think that was left up to us, but your right. That is a brutal stretch. I knew we'd lose atleast one of those three. Just winning 2 of those 3 would have been huge.

Just want to contribute to the actual conversation at hand. How about changing the onside kick at LSU? I mean sure we would've loved to have been winning already, but the defense ended up holding LSU to a 3 and out, but because of where we were on the field, Ace never even got a chance to return the punt. Sure, they could've simply kicked away from him anyway, but our starting field position would have still been much better for the final possession than it ended up being. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Lost the momentum and never got it back.

I don't see how anyone can pick a play other than this. As much as LSU neutralized our D Line from a physicality and gameplanning standpoint, I truly believe we get out of Baton Rouge with a W if not for Shaw's pick.

As many of you have mentioned, I would love to take back plays from the UF game. However, I'm not so sure that eliminating one play from that game changes the final outcome. There's a lot to be said for momentum shifts that can occur after a single play, but I really don't think a W was in the cards that day.

Let's just be happy that fortune seemed to be on our side over the majority of the season, because we could very well have finished with 3-4 total losses had a these plays turned out differently (missed PI call on Vandy's final drive, Jadaveon's strip of Bray on UT's final drive, Dylan's TD to Bruce w/ 17 sec left in OB Bowl)

They say good teams create their own luck, which is partially true. I guess I'm glad that we are a good team now, b/c damn did our gamecocks used to catch some bad breaks or what

We were close to getting it back when it was 7-3 in the second quarter and we drove to the UF 28. Connor hit ellington and he caught the ball for a second for a first down at the 15 then the db knocked it out of his hands. At that moment, UF did not have a first down on offense and we were dominating them. We score there and I think we turn it around. we ended up missing the FG. Then the fumbled punt came..

Or DL "Hands" Moore dropping a sure TD in the drive we kicked a FG. I think one of those could have turned the momentum. We were dominating their O for most of the first half.

nice post. and agree for the most part. everyone has brought up some really good examples of plays we would love to have back. but i don't see how anyone can seriously choose anything other than the play marcus got hurt on. that was devastating. although it did help us to learn how to play without him, again!

Completely forgot about considering a play of that nature (bad play for reasons outside of yardage, etc). Makes me feel selfish. So yea, I'll go with that play. Iv'e never been more emotionally distraught as a result of sports than I was that day, hell, that week. I missed one home game this past year, and I am damn glad it was the UT game. It would have killed me to witness that in person

[NCgamecock1981]

Well I would definitely change the play where Marcus was injured so that it never happened. I can live with a loss to LSU if it meant Marcus didn't have to rehab again.
