    Lagway is a great high school player who is going to get thrown to the wolves the rest of this season. One man does not make a team.

    The poster may have been summing up a point Shane made or they both came to it independently. Namely that all receivers have particular strengths or do certain things better than others, and that there were two or three WRs who should be given those sort of plays (Shane named Mizell and Burke) rather than the more possession oriented Badger. As Shane put it, Willie Jackson--a player he compared to Badger--was his go to receiver but they didn't have him run posts. It was a critique of personal usage in a general sense, with WRs in particular not being deployed for success in light of their strengths/shortcomings.

    After the ridiculous amount in injuries in 2013, Muschamp announced he'd run a thorough evaluation of the strength and conditioning program, including an independent outside assessment, and everything was fine. Having zero scholarship linebackers at one point and losing our kicker to a weight lifting injury(!) were no indication of an issue in the program. Presumably, a similar self-evaluation also cleared him and his staff later when South Carolina were routinely decimated by an inordinate number of injuries.

    It is a lot harder to make changes in football. Occasionally you get one year or two year major turn around. But realistically, we have only threatened/played for the SEC Championship 3 times no in the last 14 years. Golden is recruiting internationally for a smaller scholarship limit which gives him more options. There is a zero international option for Napier.

    We have core players on offense and with a dangerous QB the effectiveness of our offensive weapons rises because now teams have to account for another threat.

    On defense, we just need to settle down. We faced the best offense team we are going to face last Saturday and it was a great experience. They won’t take any other team lightly.

    What???

    There was plenty of gang tackling!

    (...20 yards from the LOS...).

    What disturbs me is we basically look unmotivated and uncoached.

    Starting to think that the culture of the program was in such shambles that the focus on changing that from within has left a void in preparing for games.

    Pains me to think that we had fallen so far after what we got used to.

    We have become a lower tier SEC team. What makes it worse is watching Georgia clean up in recruiting year after year while we keep making excuses why we aren't there yet.

    It would go a long way just to see our team leave everything they have on the field.

    The whiteout confused you. The pileup was the Canes in the endzone celebrating.
