South Carolina looks terrible

If you had asked me 4 years ago if the Gamecocks would lose to Vanderbilt 2 years in a row, I would say you’re crazy. A Steve Spurrier fall to the Comadores twice in a row? No way.

But that’s exactly waht happened last night.

The Gamecocks have looked terrible in both games this year. Sloppy QB play has really hurt them. Really, their whole offense has looked out of sync. It reminds me of watching a high school football game.

And I can’t believe the this is the best product Spurrier can field. If you look at the quality of the teams he’s fielded and his body language, I would guess that Spurrier’s heart simply isn’t in it any more. Gone are the visor throwing and headset smashing days. Now Spurrier just stands on the sidelines looking crestfallen after each Chris Smelley INT.

Unless the Gamecoks turn can get their act together and play better on offense, they’ll be below .500 on the year and Spurrier will hang it up at the end of the season. And it doesn’t get any easier with games against UGA, LSU, Florida and Clemson.

And the Gamecock fans will be wishing that they hadn’t let Skip Holtz leave with his father.
