The Citadel takes the lead on SC in fourth quarter
“Going from a peanut salesman to actually playing on the field will be fun”, said Renew, a junior fullback. “I have a lot of friends and family who are Carolina fans, and a lot of friends who go to school there”. We already knew that the Gamecocks were one of the worst teams in the SEC; this simply confirms that they are likely the worst, and among the worst in the Power 5 conferences, if not the entire FBS. “They just beat us”.
Maybe the Southeastern Conference should stop scheduling the Southern Conference?
Given the momentum head coach Dabo Swinney and his program are building with the current season, and the fact that Edwards is visiting campus twice within a three-week span, the Tigers have to like their chances with the No. 3 prospect from the Palmetto State.
So just how good is Citadel? In six plays, the Gamecocks marched into Bulldog territory.
((Free)) South Carolina vs The Citadel Live Streaming, TV Channel, Scores, Start Time, College Football Week 12 The Citadel (0-1) travel at the Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC to take on the South Carolina (3-5) in a NCAA College Football battle on November 21, 2:33 PM. There were already signs that interim head Shawn Elliott wasn’t going to be successful enough to lock up the full-time job at SC after Steve Spurrier’s midseason resignation. “We get so many possessions in a game because of his relentless desire on the offensive rebound”, coach Frank Martin said after the game.
It’s not secret that the triple-option offense can be the great equalizer and The Citadel has the athletes to run it the right way.
With an eighth straight bowl trip long gone, the only thing SC has left is next week’s rivalry game with No. 1 Clemson. Wilds and co. have slowed as of late and were shut down against a very talented Florida defense last week, which ultimately forced QB Perry Orth to try to make too many plays with a wounded receiving corps.
“The staff’s been great”, said Hoke, who’s spent the previous 13 years as an assistant coach in the NFL. “They outhustled us. They outcoached us”.
The Citadel was on the bubble for an FCS playoff bid, but now have about the best win any lower division team in the country. They won’t learn their postseason fate until Sunday, but in the meantime don’t plan to hold anything back against USC.
