Southern Miss vs South Carolina - Live Game Notes

I'm  going to attempt to get some observations down during the game. USC has 2 players confirmed out of the game for disciplinary reasons: Culliver and King. That's in addition to Saunders.

Looks like Culliver and King will not play. Along with Saunders, of course. And truth be told, I have no idea if we've heard back from the NCAA and everyone is okay for the year, or if coach Spurrier has just decided to play them and if the NCAA comes in and demands a 2 game suspension, then they will serve it in whichever game is next.

LSU Offers Mettenberger

Kelin Johnson reports that Zach Mettenberger has received an offer from Les Miles after his first game:

Ending speculation about at least one of his future options, former Georgia QB Zach Mettnberger confirmed exclusively for kelinjohnson.com that last  night, LSU Head Coach Les Miles called him with an offer for a full ride to LSU…and Miles made a point to tell Zach that he's going to need a quarterback for the 2011 season.  Zach is keeping his options open, but I'm glad to see him on the upswing.

It's The Coaching

The following is a guest post by GawdSport:

The South plays better football as observed by the USA Today; Steve Wieberg is one sharp sports writer. That article noted the dominance of teams in the Sun Belt or below the 37th north parallel.

He correlates recruiting, coaching pay and climate as all reasons why this has occurred. Others have pinned it down to population shifts, air conditioning, faxes and racial make-up. I am still light headed over the air conditioning theory. But make no mistake College Football is ALL about the leader – the head coach!

Before Carolina is anointed as BCS champ:

...future poor performances from the Southern Miss defense could reveal South Carolina's success as more due to a sieve-like opponent, not any great improvement.

Freshmen:

Mason may play:

Richt and Bobo have decided they will play true freshman Hutson Mason if starting quarterback Aaron Murray gets hurt on Saturday.
But it still remains a question whether Mason's redshirt would be burned if the game is out of hand.
«God forbid something happens to our starting quarterback, Aaron Murray, Hutson would definitely play if he got hurt. I can at least say that,» Richt said.

Searles on Sturdivant:

Gamecock 5 To Sit 2 - Southern Miss and Furman

Travis Haney of The Post and Courier:

What if South Carolina already knows which players aren't available and just hasn't chosen to release that information? At this point, given how long we've already waited, I fully expect this to be a pregame announcement. Releases to be handed out, describing that 2-5 players will not be part of the Southern Miss game.

With a great deal of certainty, I expect the players to be starting free safety Akeem Auguste and reserve corner C.C. Whitlock. With some trepidation, I say starting left tackle Jarriel King, starting right guard Terrence Campbell and starting defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboye could also be hit. Maybe. Maybe not.

8 - 5 Is The Mantra

No one knows if Todd Grantham can coach a college defense but he sure has said all the right things in the off-season. His latest is to remind the team that less than 100% percent effort and concentration equals an 8 - 5 finish:

«Sometimes we might slack off and do something [wrong] in practice, and he'll tell us, 'That what gets you to 8 and 5,'» safety Nick Williams said. «You might mess up a play, and he tells us, 'That's what makes you go 8 and 5.' He just keeps our attention. He keeps us going hard.

«Every day, he's letting us know. 'Eight and five. Eight and five. Eight and five.' Every day. That's something we do not want to experience again.»
