Good thing that there is more to a team than just the QB huh? Oh I know I know a new QB could never go on the road and win in the SEC. I heard that a lot in 2012. But somehow we managed to do that in every single game. How is the logic silly about one more stop? Here let me make this simple for you. Read it slow and it might make sense to you. If we are down by 7 at the end of the game and we would have stopped them on at least one of their Touchdown drives, then we would not be down by seven anymore... Yeah and I come from an intellectual baby pool...

![]() Yep...you did have a new QB win on the road in 2012.
However, I doubt very seriously you have another JFF on your roster. Look, we are confident that we are going to win this game. You arguing your point isn't going to change that. Obviously, Vegas likes us, pretty handily I might add, in this game as well. Throw in the several suspensions that you guys currently have, a defense that was not good at all last year, a New QB, all of that on the road, and you can see why we are very confident. No need to get so defensive. I'm sure your Aggie boards have a very similar tone. |

Because the only reason you won those games at all was because of Manziel. So if you're going to say the defense improved this year to allow one less TD per game then let's also assume that you score at least one less TD per game since we can safely assume your next QB will not perform at the same level that Manziel did. You don't seem to understand the dynamics behind a shoot out in college football. Manziel went into every drive knowing he needed to score because his defense was garbage. That's why you won so many games by a small margin. You can't apply that thinking to this season because I don't believe you have a guy who can will his team into the endzone this season like Manziel could. Let me break it down for you. This is gonna be a tough year for TAMU. The offense is going to take a drop and the defense will not be improved enough to make up for it. I predict that SC's defense will have a drop this season, but will probably still rank better than tamu's... Also, our offense is littered with explosive veteran players including a veteran QB (a big deal whether or not you want to admit it). We have the longest current home win streak. You should be chalking this up as an L. |

Johnny Manziel for his career threw 63 TD's with 22 INTS. That is roughly a 3/1 ratio as well. |

![]() I know they were. But stats for one year dont tell the entire story. Dylan has played well for us on multiple occasions. He has really shined when he has known going in that he is going to start. Thats why most of us fully expect Dylan to be a phenomenal quarterback for us next year. |

![]() Thompson is not as good as Shaw IMO but he will be more than capable as a starter. He, like A&M's new quarterback, will have the benefit of a good line and running game. These teams will be very similar offensively. It will as 96 referred to it coming down to getting that one more stop. The good news for us is USC has more questions in the secondary than we do and are replacing playmakers in the front 7.

Two words... Wheel Route I do think both offenses will put up big numbers that day. It will be interesting to see if our defense improves like some are projecting.

![]() First of all, addressing the part about everything being about Johnny last year, it was just that. Last year. Johnny had to carry a heavier load because of the extremely young defense and an offensive coordinator that underutilized A&M's tremendous running backs and offensive line, IMO. Now, Jake Spavital, the new OC, is much more like Kingsbury in that he will utilize the run game. For a green quarterback going on the road in an SEC environment, this is a luxury. And I'd expect A&M to use that a lot against the 3-4 look. A&M's offense will look vastly different without Johnny, but it will still be extremely lethal. I'd also expect him to try to get Cam Clear on a linebacker when USC is in that 3-4.
96, all indications are Howard Matthews had a great spring. With the experience back there and all the raving about Terry Joseph as the new secondary coach, I absolutely expect that to be a strength. I saw on another thread about SC's spring ball that the defensive line was a disappointment and was struggling to get pressure on the quarterback. That MUST be fixed for South Carolina by kickoff. Do I necessarily expect A&M to win? No. But, I do think people grossly underestimate us because of no Johnny. These are the same folks you see on ESPN you simply evaluate teams based on how they were last year minus the players they are losing. They give no credit to player development, and they give little credit to recruiting, at least in A&M's case. Regardless of the outcome of this game, A&M is going to surprise people around the country with how competitive they can be. |

It's also the way to stop our offense. Make us one dimensional and take away the run. It did not happen much last year because Connor always found a way except at Tennessee and Uga but that was due mainly to turnovers at the worst time.

31-21 Gamecocks. We're returning more starters than any team that will be in the preseason top 25. Unless somehow Florida makes the the top 25 (unlikely although i think they'll win 8-9 games even with their schedule and finish in the top 25) Last edited by GamecockSuperFan; 05-07-2014 at 03:19 AM.. |

![]() ^Our fanbase is getting ridiculous over these 3-4 talks! So much that opposing teams fans think that's what we're running
