South Carolina got a ‘W’ yesterday with a 28-14 win over Louisiana-Lafayette.
Lord knows it was not pretty and the big question coming out of the game is the run defense. The run defense of SC gave up 250+ yards rushing to UL-La. I know that UL-La type of run offense is unique with the spread formation, qb draws and unorthodox misdirection run-dominated attack but to give up 250+ to them is not a good sign. I say this b/c UGA is next week and they are a much stronger team and can run the heck out of the ball (i.e last years game which they controlled due to SC not stopping the run game). I hope Mr. Nix gets the boys ready and after watching game film addressing some of those interior holes along the line because USC will see a more traditional rushing offense in UGA. The secondary looked pretty good despite being young. Seems the defense did play at a higher level when their backs were against the wall and had a few nice stops inside the 20.
