When you don’t have a sophomore better than Dayne Davis and John Campbell, you’ve got either an evaluations / recruiting problem or a development problem. I’ll even throw Karic in there. If we had excellent starters, sure of course there wouldn’t be younger players better than them. The three I just mentioned are merely serviceable at best. If your evals are good and your coaching is good, a sophomore should be capable of at least splitting time.

Yes, OL is a developmental position, but where is the evidence we’re developing anyone? This isn’t the old days where only juniors and seniors are physically developed enough to play on the OL. Plenty of young offensive linemen making contributions out there these days.

JC has been good and I like Davis as a 6th guy who can play all across the line. So I guess I just disagree with you there.

We do have a sophomore contributing - Heard. Dunno about you but I don’t like the idea of a bunch of sophomores across the OL.

Last, I don’t really get what evidence you’re looking for. That’s kind of the nature of players developing. You don’t see it because they don’t play.

Call was illegal touching, not ineligible downfield though.

Edit:
An illegal touching penalty does not stop the play automatically. Instead, the play will conclude all the way to the end, and then the penalty will be called. The reason for this is that the defense could end up forcing a turnover after the penalty is committed, which would then result in them declining the illegal touching penalty.

Correct. I'm saying if he thought Williams was covered up, he would have thrown the flag immediately when the pass was thrown for ineligible player downfield (even if it were thrown to a different receiver), not waited for him to touch it because Williams was not allowed to go beyond the LOS if he was covered up. As soon as the pass was thrown, he was an ineligible player downfield, so the flag should have come out immediately.

That's what makes it look like there was some possible point shaving happening. It makes no sense for him to wait for the pass to be caught before throwing the flag.

It was called illegal touching not ineligible player, and I just said they let the play go for illegal touching.

Tough to see how 3-loss SC should get in over 3-loss Bama and Ole Miss when SC lost to Bama and Ole Miss.

If a 3-loss SEC team makes it, I have no clue who deserves the edge.

I was going to say Ole Miss due to the quality of their wins, but that UK loss at home is just as big of an oof as getting thumped by Oklahoma on the road. I don’t see how it could be SCar due to the h2h and not having a win as quality as the other two.

Agreed also tired of acting like Clemson is a “quality” win when they can’t even beat a good team or make it to the ACC champ game…
