[Hurricane Season]

In the history of college football, has there ever been another team win a game where they complete only one pass? lol

Dan Herron beasted. I criticize him every year for no reason, and he always puts up huge numbers. He's going to be great in the NFL, I can already tell.

Dick-ell is a dumbass.

Roll Tide B)

BYU is also winning...

Dick-ell is a dumbass.

He doesn't call the plays, and it probably is OSU's best chance to win football games. Not passing that is. But they already have 3 losses and are playing for nothing. I'd like to see the coaching staff try to develop Miller in game by calling more passes, but they're all pretty much lame duck coaches so they have no motivation, which is also a bad thing.

OSU's defense though is nice. They dish out violent hits throughout the games, they don't give up many points and they only have one senior starter. If Miller develops enough passing wise, and we get a good play caller, this team will have a quick bounce back year.

Marcus Lattimore done for the season

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A turbulent week for No. 14 South Carolina closed with devastating news: Star tailback Marcus Lattimore is out for the year with a knee injury.

"Our worst fears were realized," Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said Sunday.

Spurrier said Lattimore had a torn ligament in his left knee and also suffered some cartilage damage. Lattimore will require surgery, although doctors want to keep the knee braced and allow it to stabilze for several weeks before operating. Lattimore had been the main engine for South Carolina's offense this season with 818 yards and 10 touchdowns rushing this season. He was leading the Southeastern Conference in rushing most of the season before getting overtaken by Alabama's Trent Richardson.

Lattimore gained only 39 yards, but had a 4-yard touchdown run in South Carolina's 14-12 win at Mississippi State on Saturday.

It was in the fourth quarter that Lattimore's stellar year came to end. He was blocking for Bruce Ellington when a Bulldogs defender rolled up on Lattimore's left leg. He was worked on for several minutes before getting help to the sidelines.

Lattimore's mother, Yolanda Smith, rushed to her son's side and several players came by the trainer's table to check on him and pray. Lattimore left Davis Wade Stadium with a large brace covering most of his left leg and walking on crutches.

"Well, we're all disappointed, but we all realize life's got to go on and somebody has to fill his shoes," Spurrier said.

That will be freshman Brandon Wilds, who considered redshirting because he was fourth tailback on the depth chart. "Now he's the top guy," Spurrier said, and will likely start at Tennessee on Oct. 29, South Carolina's next game.

Spurrier saw Lattimore in the training room on Sunday morning and said the sophomore was taking it about as well as you might expect. Spurrier counseled him to keep his head up and concentrate on getting better.

"Like I told him, time heals all a lot of wounds. Give it time and get yourself ready to come back stronger next season," Spurrier said. "You can't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. That doesn't help."

Although, it wouldn't be completely out of the question after what the Gamecocks went through this week.

South Carolina dismissed fifth-year senior quarterback Stephen Garcia for good for what his father said was a positive test for alcohol. Spurrier also drew outside criticism with his rant against a local sports columnist on the day Garcia was kicked off the team.

The Gamecocks offense continued to struggle at Mississippi State. Lattimore had just 39 yards and a 4-yard touchdown. It wasn't until Alshon Jeffery's leaping 4-yard pass from Garcia's replacement, Connor Shaw, with less than four minutes to go that South Carolina (6-1, 4-1 SEC) escaped with the victory.

Spurrier might have to call on his star wide receiver more frequently down the stretch. With Lattimore and Garcia gone, Jeffery's the last one left of South Carolina's "Big Three" on offense who had hoped to carry the Gamecocks back to the SEC title game as Eastern Division champions.

Jeffery said the game-winning play will give Shaw and the rest of the offense confidence they can accomplish big things in clutch situations, the way Lattimore and Garcia had done in years past.

"It was great to see Connor do that. It gives him a lot of confidence to come back in the fourth quarter to win the game," Jeffery said.

Maybe the best thing for South Carolina is its week off.

Spurrier said that might give more experienced runners dealing with injuries, like Kenny Miles and Eric Baker, the chance to heal and be a factor this season. Miles, the team's top rusher in 2009, has a wrist injury while Baker had a bad ankle. The Gamecocks had also lost speedy freshman runner Shon Carson to a season-ending injury last month at Georgia. Backup fullback Matt Coffee also tore a ligament and is out for the year.

Lattimore's scoring run was his 30th career TD, just three shy of South Carolina's career record.

Spurrier expects Lattimore to show the same determination in his rehabilitation as he's shown his two years with the Gamecocks.

"Marcus has always had a positive attitude. I'm sure he'll approach this as positively as he possibly can," Spurrier said.

Huge loss for SC. They were already struggling with him.

I still don't like Fickell. I think he bit off a little more than he could chew. Whoever calls the plays is a dumbass. I understand the run the ball mentality and I'm fine with that, but play selection is awful. Let's run the same dive play 3 times in a row and get nothing! I mean, at least call a weak side toss or some kind of bootleg. Braxton easily could've got a first a few times if he pulled it out and bootlegged to the other side.

Please fire Turner GILL

Clemson's offense is ridiculous.

Sammy Watkins 4 heisman.

 

[swoosh]

Clemson's offense is ridiculous.

Sammy Watkins 4 heisman.

Boyd to Watkins is quite the duo.

Good chance they run the table.

I'm tired of hearing how Mathieu is LSU's best defensive player, he isn't even the best player in his position group. Mo Claiborne is the better corner, he just doesn't get the recognition because he shuts down his side of the field.

GT orchestrates a 20 play, 9 minute touchdown drive.

Miami cancels that out with a 30 second drive right before the half.
