OL - solid pass blocking for the most part but struggled at times on the run. Seaver Brown was solid in his first start. J.Thompson gets kudos from me for if nothing else his last play - in obvious pain in the huddle he gutted it up, led the next play as a pulling guard and opened a great hole. He gave way to Garrett Anderson on the next play

FB - Stafford was solid and did a nice job on his one reception with an MSU linebacker draped on his back. DiMarco is seeing more playing time and seems to be doing well

WR - Kenny was fantastic, made some of his best runs after the catch. Anxious to hear his injury status. WR blocking wasn't bad but other than #11 they didn't get much separation. Couple of nice catches by Freddie Brown

RB - hated to see Cory get banged up but he had some nice runs at the end. Mike ran with a lot of heart - so improved over 06 - and his 2nd td looked like an old school Dingle Dive

QB - thought Smelley looked poised ans was solid. a few throws that sailed on him (including the one that almost got Freeman killed) but other than the INT in the end zone i thought his decision making was good

i specifcally watched seaver brown on a couple of plays on that first drive and so far so good. he moved his man out nicely on the first and goal. smelley looks very poised

Melvin Ingram
2007-09-18 08:39:53
Believe it or not, Melvin Ingram's 16-yard kickoff return Saturday night does not make him the record holder for kickoff return yards by a linebacker - Ernest Dixon returned 7 kicks for 71 yards during his career.

tough stretch for Moe Brown - his offensive pass interference penalty negated a first down pass to Jared Cook and then on the next play he got a block in the back penalty wiping out a good run by Boyd

The defensive scheme vas been pretty vanilla tonight though it was interesting to see Cliff Mathhews drop from an end position into coverage. should be some good new wrinkles in the UGA game

first quarter in the books. Defense looks like it misses Jasper and the Lindsey twins against the run. offense has been pretty sharp other than that holding penalty on Sorensen whcih wiped out a nice play by McKinley

Watching LSU so far it's confirming my opinion that Jacob Hester will be either the best or second best fullback the Gamecocks will see this year; a bull running the ball who can also catch and block

Wow it's going to be painful listening to Craig James all season... there was a lot of hype in Starkville about their receiving corps and how much improved their passing game was going to be ... not seeing it so far

Michael Henig has been a disaster so far ... the arm strength is lacking and the decision making hasn't been good; unless juco transfer Josh Riddell returns from suspension (DUI) and shows more MSU is in trouble in '07
