Vandy able to run early and lattimore fumbles on first rushing attempt

While I didn't even know Alicia Keys has a song titled "New Day," I did find it amusing considering the video thread today.

South Carolina offense looks awful so far, 4 plays so far tonight

Fumble
False Start
QB Scramble
Interception

[JoshB]

SC 10 Vandy 7

just turned the game on......wow, no way in hell Shaw makes it all season at this rate.

have to admit I didn't think Lattimore will be 100% on the new knee this season - considering its only been 10.5 months.

 

[BamaCore]

Yeah, I hate it for Shaw, but when you pull down and run it that many times it's bound to happen sooner or later.

 

[doemasters]

South Carolina up 17-13

No way Shaw or Lattimore make it through the season

Yep, they're going to ride Lattimore heavy this season.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

[tidentrue]

[tidentrue]

well that was ahorshet non-call...and the refs had done a good job up to that point....poor Vandy

 

[BamaCore]

Ref was staring right at that play. He should be ashamed of that no call.

 

[Bamadrill]

Not going to say Vandy lost because of it, it would have extended the drive, but the clock was winding down fast

A few thoughts leaving this game.

It's tempting to say UofSC isn't in game shape on defense. But, I'm wondering if it was physical or mental.

By the end of the 1st quarter, there were a few things standing out to me. One in particular drew my attention a lot.

I've seen kids take a play off. Now, they'd make contact with the opposing player but it was very evident they weren't going at 100%. I saw Clowney take a lot of plays off last night. On a few of them, he didn't even engage the offensive lineman literally standing up and watching the play without any pursuit.

I don't think it's too early to think UofSC has been reading their own press clippings, but it certainly is too early to say they have.

It's too early to make a judgment on Vandy. It's still a team, in my eyes at least, that never can be judged by the first few games of the season. I still think a bowl game is a reasonable expectation for the 'Dores. They travel to Northwestern for their next game.

Every year, after two SEC teams square off in a defensive game, people come out of the woodwork with "overrated."

Yet, at the end of the year?
