Five Keys to Success in 2010: Number One, Offensive Line Play and Health
The conclusion of our series on the 2010 Gamecocks' keys to success shouldn't surprise you: offensive line play will be the single biggest issue confronting the team this season. While I've pointed out an improved running game and better quarterback play as two of the other keys to success, it's...
Steve Spurrier Hires New Offensive Line Coach Shawn Elliott from Appalachian State
Well, that didn't take long: Steve Spurrier has hired Shawn Elliott from Appalachian State for the offensive line coach vacancy. This isn't quite as splashy a hire as Eric Wolford was last year and may not be what some were hoping for, but my impression is that this is a good hire. Here's...

AP announces its All-American TeamAlabama has six members of the first team -- RB Mark Ingram, G Michael Johnson, K Leigh Tiffin, DT Terrence Cody, LB Rolando McClain and CB Javier Arenas.

Coaching Carousel 2009: Offensive Line Candidates
We still haven't heard official word that Eric Wolford is leaving, but I expect we'll get that tomorrow or Wednesday. There is a little talk this evening about Coach Spurrier trying to talk Wolford into staying and making him a counteroffer, so we can keep our fingers crossed that he might stay....

Sprints Learns to Never Underestimate the Audacity of Lane Kiffin // 08.17.09
Team Speed Kills Now returns tomorrow. The time is the usual 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT. This week: More on non-conference foes, including Virginia Tech's game against Alabama, N.C. State taking on South Carolina and the mid-majors most likely to pull an upset. (And maybe more.) Pot, meet kettle. It...
Monday News and Notes: Practice Notes and NCAA Rule-Making Tomfoolery
First things first: the team scrimmaged today. Here's what jumps out at me about the reports. The reports about the offense continue to sound promising overall. The passing game wasn't quite as good today as it has been on other days this week, but it was competent. However, the running game...
Keys to Success in 2009: Number 2, Establishing a Running Game
Without a doubt, one of our biggest problems last year was our inability to establish a running game. We ranked 112th in the country and dead last in the SEC in team rushing offense. While a lot of the talk right now is about how Stephen Garcia needs to step up for the Gamecocks to win in 2009, the...
Post-Spring Preview: NC State Wolfpack
Carolina once again opens their season against NC State, this time traveling to Raleigh to take on the 'Pack. Last time around, we beat State 34-0.
