A quick look at the box score, we won because we won the turnover battle and we dominated them on 3d conversion.  Everything else was pretty even.  I'm sure @KB_fan can offer greater insight.

  • I noticed the positive turnover ratio of course, and the time of possession. 
  • Very few penalties. 
  • No points allowed in second half.  For now, we've allowed the fewest points of any team with a completed game.  
  • We scored in every quarter. 
  • 18 receptions by nine different receivers - that was nice to see.  We need Cam to be able to spread the ball around and not be too dependent on just Greg.

Other than that, I'll have to see if I can find some time tomorrow evening to dig into the box score / gamebook.  I've got a bad headache tonight and need to stop staring at the screen.

But best stat of all 1 - 0.  Ugly, but it's a win.  That's enough for now.

The defense bent but never broke today. Very proud of that. Norman had the best game of his career. 

Cam did what he could with very shaky receiver play and some injuries to his line, but he – for the most part – made good decisions with the ball and placed it well, especially to Cotch for the TD. 

Losing Luke hurts so bad, but it seemed like Klein did an admirable job in his stead. 

Loved Rivera going for it on 4th in the first half and sure enough, not only did we get it but we got a TD a couple plays later.

So happy Jacksonville's kicker missed four points worth of kicks. A huge help.

We got a win. At the end of the day, that's what matters, and there's reason to smile.

there were too many missed tackles, drops, and balls tipped at the LOS. The tips at the line and drops really killed cams performance. that big 3rd down and long conversion by cotch was made even tho the ball was tipped at the line.

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
