Early impressions:
-Lou Holtz is getting more senile...called South Carolina D the best in the SEC...

-Should be a fun matchup of Vandy's spread option offense with a bunch of trick plays against South Carolina's aggressive blitzing

-Nickson's throw on 3rd down should of been caught

-Emmanuel Cook can hit!

-McKinnley makes one good catch and then a mental mistake, South Carolina goes 3 and out

[DraftBoy]

What a hit! Thats a big turnover!

[DraftBoy]

Good YAC by McKinnley

[DraftBoy]

9 more catches and McKinnley will be SC's all time leading receiver.

Lou Holtz is a homer for his old stomping grounds. He picked ECU to win because his son coaches the team. He was actually right on that one though :rofl:

ECU was a good smart pick, won me a ton of money.


WHAT A CATCH BY MCKINNLEY!!

[DraftBoy]

Great play by DJ Moore there and Langford to recognize the deflection for the pick!!

[DraftBoy]

How does Jasper drop that?!?!?

[DraftBoy]

Bad play by Vandy takes South Carolina from their own 10 to their own 25...

[DraftBoy]

1st Quarter over!

7-0 South Carolina

My Thoughts:
SC S Emmanuel Cook-Big hitter and good coverage down field
SC S Darian Stewart-Read the option and delivered a huge hit for the fumble and recovered the ball
SC RB Mike Davis-Tough Runner, low pad level, good leg movement- Key Play: 1st contact 6 yards deep in the backfield and got free for a 6 yard gain
SC TE Jared Cook-One big catch, has good speed, and can split out wide, but did have a False Start penalty
SC WR Kenny McKinnley-6 throws, 3 catches, 23 yards 1 TD, 1 drop...too inconsistent mentally at this point
SC K Ryan Succup-What a leg!
SC LB Jasper Brinkley-Good pressure on Nickson but dropped a very easy INT
SC DT Nathan Pepper-Good penetration and two good tackles

Vandy CB DJ Moore-Playing both ways CB and WR, had a really nice PR, made a deflection that led to Vandy's INT when he settled into a zone coverage
Vandy QB Chris Nickson-Fast QB, who has a decent arm but his passes have looked wobbly and he threw a pass right at SC LB Jasper Brinkley
Vabdy SS Rasha Langford-Good INT
Vandy CB Myron Lewis-Got beat by McKinnley for a TD, but then made a good play stripping a ball free from McKinnley for an incompletion.

[DraftBoy]

Spead with the pick for Vandy!

[DraftBoy]

FG for Vandy, first point SC has allowed all season.

[DraftBoy]

Called that fake punt...

[DraftBoy]

SC WR Kenny McKinnley is done for the game, left knee is wrapped in ice

[DraftBoy]

Halftime 10-3 South Carolina

2nd Quarter Thoughts:
SC RB Mike Davis-Veyr tough runner, good leg drive, arm tackles will not take him down
SC LB Eric Norwood-Sack, Stunted in from hand down LB position, good read on option, QBH
SC TE Jared Cook-Good seem route pattern, can get open and had a TD if Smelley hadn't over thrown him
SC WR Moe Brown-Lackluster effort, every pick against SC this year has been thrown to him. Bad routes, bad effort.
SC S Emmanuel Cook-Good QB pressure on a blitz
SC WR Kenny McKinnley-Done for the game and he said that he is not ok, its a knee injury
SC K Ryan Succup-41 yd FG as the half expired, would of been good from over 50

Vandy SS Rashad Langford-Near pick off a good read of Succup, good run support on 3rd and short
Vandy CB Darren Spead-Nice pick undercutting the WR and had a 41 yd return, left the field before the half was over has not returned.
Vandy QB Chris Nickson-Better running the ball and made a good decision on the option to keep it. Made another bad throw on a 3rd and GL
Vandy WR George Smith-Good run blocking on a 3rd down to get a 1st down for Vandy deep in SC territory.

Overall Im still waiting on SC to step it up, if there D breaks just once Vandy could shock them again, like last year.
