Aside from John Ross every part of the team was dominated tonight. There's not a single unit that can be proud of how it played. Yep, the OL sucked. So did everyone else.
Strausser, Hamdan, Smith, Kwat, Lake, Paopao, Kwat, Bonerpopper, whoever the other assistants are, all their units sucked.
now, dominated is what our DL and passrusher were. Browning was also terrible. a lot of the pressure was on him dancing around and holding the ball too long

3.1 yards per carry by the DL in the run game was fine ...
And I'm not going to excuse other individuals ... but the OL got absolutely whipped tonight ... but fair to say that when they did have time to throw, nobody was open ... partly because the OL was too soft to open up ANYTHING in the run game

Yards per carry is a stupid stat. When SC needed to move the chains in the run game they did. The DL didn't get nearly enough rush.
Not a good game by our DL. I imagine they'd be the first to tell you they're not proud of their performance tonight.

I think the DL had 1 sack tonight if I remember right in my haze right now ... they didn't have a great night (rushing the passer) but fit the run game quite well ... the problem is that they got misdirectioned a bunch and abused with the crossing game ...
What were the odds if I gave you JJSS as SC's 4th leading receiver tonight?
And YPC isn't a stupid stat ... particularly if you aren't getting sacks ...
What's more important tonight probably wasn't the YPC number, but that SC ran it 9 more times than we did
The interior of our D Line played very good. The problem is on the edge.
The interior of our D Line gets push up the middle and shuts down the running game inside. None of our DT's are push rushing tackles. They are all more run stopping DT's that eat the double team. The problem is that once Mathis went down we have no one on the team who brings pressure from the edge consistently. As a result the QB has time to throw. If we bring pressure from the outside they have no time to throw because they cannot step up in the pocket (the easiest way to avoid outside pressure).
Just win out and we are in the Rose Bowl. Maybe with a couple breaks we sneak back into the number four spot and we can watch Bama just destroy us.
When we tried the side to side runs we stunk. We ran well (but not often) enough between the tackles. Gaskin could have had a 30 carry 105 of the toughest yards he would ever see type night, but we got behind and Smith went back to the pass first option. The diff. tonight was SC had 42/45 as defensive ends and we have a bunch of jags who can't get pressure giving Darnald all day to find someone wide open in the middle of the field.
I guess I watched a different game. OL didn't look like it got dominated to me. It got pushed around a bit, and creases were there for running...pass pro was a bit rougher...but Brownsocks sacked himself twice and fell down into the D two other times. They can't protect forever.
