Heupel is Figured Out

A piddling Gamecock team figured out the recipe to beat Tennessee. They hung their corners 10 yards back and never let the Vol receivers get behind them. The fact about this offense is it's not designed to put up long, sustained drives. Gamecocks gave up the short ball all day and Heupel's offense just isn't built to take advantage of that. SC had nothing to lose taking a risk like that on D and it paid off in a big way. You beat this offense by hanging your corners back.

Make no mistake, this game is on the defense, but don't let that distract you from what happened on offense. That Gamecock defense was one of the worst in the SEC with multiple injuries. Any other SEC team is going to watch how they handled the Vol offense and just execute that formula better. Heupel needs to address that in his scheme or teams will have him figured out real soon.

They played soft. That’s the recipe to get beat if your opponent shows up on defense.

There’s no secret sauce. Defense played like ass and I do think they struggle a little with crowd noise. Other teams have played them the same way on D
 
I figured we would be 9-3 or 8-4 starting the season considering we lost like 35 players to the portal and another group decommitted. This season has been an over achievement. Depth has been an issue all year especially D. The O has been scoring on everyone and all the D has had to do was get like 3-4 stops per game for the game to be a W. Last night they didn't and that was the result. Need to bring in some stud D Line rushers and stuffers as well as shut down CB. As bad as last night was, it's not as bad as listening to Butch or watching Dooley teams even they they played exactly like those teams last night.

They figured us out to the tune of 38 points on a night Hooker was a bit off. Do you even hear yourself? Good gawdamitghty.

So it wasn’t UGA, who held us to 13, that figured out how to stop us. It was those genius Gamecocks who kept us to only 38. Yeah that makes total sense. Ha! Some of y’all are just hilarious. Excellent post!
 
It's been a long time since our secondary hasn't leaked buckets of yardage. Here is to hoping all high school linebacker and defensive backs see a place for themselves in the coming recruitments. Did we even pressure their QB last night? All in all, though the loss was a disappointment, the season has been the best in recent memory. A previous coach said something about laying one brick at a time. The Vols laid a bunch this season and it was exciting to watch. Let's get some recruits and fill some defensive gaps!
 
As I said, defense was THE problem. I'm saying not to overlook how SC exposed Tennessee's offense from a schematic standpoint. They defended it the best they could with a rag tag defense.

SC exposed nothing. People said Georgia exposed us. Then we hung 66 on a top 10 defense. Your original post was dumb. There is something going on that none of us know about. You think SC has the defense of Bama and LSU? Get real. Your pitiful attempt at denigrating this offense and Heupel is shameful.

Exactly what Georgia did. They didn't give up the easy layup which South Carolina did several times (UGA didn't because they have a better defense) But you are correct in your assessment. So if a team can keep the receivers in front of them and not give up the easy layup, put pressure on the QB, and then score points on offense then they can beat Tennessee which has been proven twice.

Just a Dumb take , if you have a day job , keep it.

So, if you don’t give up big plays, pressure the QB and then score points, you have a shot at winning. That’s not a game plan. It’s what every team is trying to do every Saturday.
 
The term "figured out" is hilarious. Any coach worth anything knows what they are doing. It just depends on their personnel and how each team plays. The spread isn't new; Heupel is just mixing in plays that are creative within the spread and running it faster than anyone. We flat-out went to the Columbia and laid an egg on Defense, and Rattler had the best game of his life. Anything can happen on any given Saturday in SEC...
 
We have 11 plays because it was easier to get a new and less talented team to be successful with fewer plays and a hurry up offense.

I will take a gimmicky #1 rated offense and 9 wins over what Pruitt brought us.

You can still beat teams if they do lay the corners back 10 yards.

Problem is if we score 30 plus points in any game you got to have a defense that can keep the other team from scoring 30 points.

This was a ASS kicking the defense took...
 
Our problem is the Sunbelt defense we ran out there not the Offense. We were thin to begin with and now with all the injuries its bad. They need to go heavy on LB and DB in the portal.. Find some plug and play guys.
