South Carolina has actually played really good. They've botched scoring right at the end of their drives. NC State is awful and has been getting lucky. This game should be like 24-3 right now.

Yeah, like I say I have been working so I haven't really had time to be too attentive to it...I'm still not impressed with them so far...Wasn't this game like a 34-0 blowout last season?

What have they done really well? If Toney Baker doesn't cough up the ball inside the NC St. 15, those seven points come off the board for SC.

Hasn't South Carolina been in North Carolina's red zone three times? They missed a field goal. They were in field goal range another time and got knocked out of field goal range. They had a touchdown that was called back. They've done fairly good. North Carolina State is really like to be in this thing imo.

Um.... no? Having 7 points after being in the red zone two or three times and field goal range like three times makes North Carolina State lucky. Did you now watch the first half? South Carolina was picking up like 7 yards everytime they ran the ball. Garcia only threw one or two incompletions in the first half...

Explain to me how that is doing things well.

I'm thinking ESPN is going to elect to show "World Series of Poker" reruns in this time slot next year...10:15pm can't get here fast enough.

On a completely unrelated note, I ran into Jesse Palmer in downtown Orlando a while back, post-Bachelor if I recall. He is much shorter than I thought he was, and he looked like he'd been pounding the burgers and brews (translation: kinda fat). Very disappointing. Anyways, I bet my boyfriend a drink that "the guy over there" was Jesse Palmer. Kind of an easy bet for me, since my boyfriend's a yankee and knows very little about college football. So I make eye contact with Jesse and say "I bet my boyfriend a drink that you're Jesse Palmer". He says "huh?" I proceed to repeat myself a few times (guy is either hard of hearing or a moron, hard to tell). He finally says "uh, yeah". So I turn to collect on my bet, and I hear the idiot say "I thought you said you wanted me to go to bed with you and your boyfriend". True story. His alma mater must be so proud.

GO Gata!

They don't award points for trips to redzone and missed field goals.

You're going to have to come up with more than that to convince me that either of these teams are playing well.

Or how about the fact that South Carolina held NC State to 0 points with less than minute left in the 3rd quarter.

This is the first game of the season.... I am thinking South Carolina will get better but what do I know. Most teams don't play perfect opening week. It's not like Michigan lost to Appalachian State and then beat Florida in their bowl game or anything. :whistling:

I'll give you this...either SC's defense or NC state's offense has made NC State's offense look horrible. I'm not sure which one. I suspect that it's both.

They were moving the ball well and they are shutting down North Carolina State. I said they were botching scores after good drives. I never said they've been doing a good job at finishing. Just that they were moving the ball and should have been scoring. They are beating themselves. If NC State wins, they did nothing to deserve it. They watched South Carolina have touchdowns called back and miss field goals.

I'll take the offense, its an ACC offense, they just aren't that high powered all the way across the conference IMO

I agree with that. I think NC States offense is crap. I think it being the first game is playing a role in both teams playing like crap. And I guess I should say it's not that I think South Carolina has played good. It's just that they've played way better than NC State in my opinion. They've just made too many mistakes that should have been points.
