2 Weeks In. 2 Weeks where one of Fhule's Boys single-handedly blew the game.

Again, there are so many problems across the board, it's hard to pick just one that cost us...  but I pulled the lens back just a bit and it crystallized for me.

Last week, Elfein single-handedly killed multiple drives, including the final one where we had a chance to score a TD and put the game away, with his mis-snaps.  And on defense, CJ Henderson commits one of the worst, boneheaded penalties in the endzone I have ever seen which would've been an INT for Xavier Woods, that thanks to CJ, turned into an easy TD from the 1.

This week, instead of elevating Shenault or putting Shi back there, who was originally the backup to Roberts, he put his wife's favorite Cowboy out there in Chubba Butterfingers Hubbard.  Chubba gives up a fumble on the opening kickoff where they're already in FG range, and they go up 3.  I still support Robbie, but he was put in a horrible spot on that 3rd down play the next possession, again, thanks to great coaching, and was left to try to navigate himself through what looked like 8 defenders after catching a no-hope screen.  He fumbled in their FG range again.  Down 6-0 score.  Down -2 in the turnover game.  And as we know, you rarely ever overcome losing the turnover battle.  

We lose by a FG.  Meanwhile, Chubba continued to go out there and appeared to fumble again on another kickoff, although I have no idea why NY didn't challenge it after it was ruled down by contact.  

These are simple things, where there are far better options at these positions where these decisions are made well-before gameday and Rhule has decided the outcome before the game is even played with his favorites who happen to be bad at football.

The fumble was, but it was a horrible situation and a horrible playcall, and then horribly executed...  he was 1 vs 8, and as soon as they swarmed, unless forward progress got called I already had a feeling it was gonna happen...  and I would've felt the same way if it was DJ, Robbie, Shi, or any other receiver.  The odds aren't good.

And Robbie still makes plays, but again, for the most part is misused.  Can't say the same for Chubba's sorry ass.

0-2. Thanks Rob.

Yup. We've seen what DJ, CMC, Burns, Chinn, & Shaq are capable of in the right roles, in the right environment.  They've effectively neutered every impact player with their inability to maximize strengths.

One job of a coach is to put their players in positions to succeed. Not even the great Jerry Rice could’ve looked good trying to navigate 75% of the defense.

Only week two and our season is done, and my Gamecocks suck ass, too, but no big surprise there. Another year down the drain. Tired of this poo.
