Gamecocks’ abilities close to matching Vols, can’t overcome early mistakes

USC’s 7-point loss to a top-10 team, the second of its kind in Williams-Brice Stadium this year, proved one thing Saturday. The Gamecocks simply aren’t quite there yet. Last week coach Steve Spurrier said that he felt the Gamecocks had a chance to be a JONATHAN pretty good HILLYARD football team. Senior Saturday, writer against Ten nessee’s SEC -lead i ng offense, his team proved that to be true. At times it appeared that the Volunteer defense was powerless to stop the old ball coach, Syvelle Newton and the newly versatile Carolina offense. At times it appeared as though a stingy Gamecock defense may be enough to hold the high- powered Vols in check long enough to pull off an upset. But they simply aren’t quite there yet. Meg Gaillard / THE DAILY GAMECOCK “Last year when we beat Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge is wrapped up by USC linebacker Rodney Paulk in Saturday’s game in Columbia. The No. 8 Vols won 31-24. them I said we were just meant to win,” Spurrier said after the game. “Tonight, I don’t think we were quite meant to win.” Tricked out of a treat What Spurrier failed to mention is that a season ago an upstart Carolina team beat a Tennessee team that One too many balls bounce in Fulmer’s favor as Gamecocks fall in SEC East battle 31-24 realistically, was not very good.

That play was followed “The ball certainly didn’t top ten opponent, and they “Tennessee beat us, no have tried to pressure him,” by a long drive by USC that bounce our way,” Spurrier came up a few plays short. On a night when all the excuses,” USC coach Steve defensive coordinator resulted in a turnover as said. “They turned them On offense Spurrier was pregame build-up seemed to Spurrier said.
