Next week is certainly a new week. Clifford is most likely in worse shape than this past week, tbe opponent is much, much better, it is a road game, it is at night, and it is against one of the brilliant offensive minds in College Football.OK, we lost our best DT and have had substantial injuries to QB and three RBs. BB did a genius move with 7OL and 2TEs. I've never seen that in my life. But we still only gave up three points. So suddenly, the team that beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin and Auburn can't beat a 2-5 Ill? What changed? Clearly, BB was very creative. The weather was a factor. it was a perfect trap game. Staff didn't have the kids prepared. Nursing a small lead played into it.
In the end, CJF is too loyal to SC IMHO>. Having said that, do we have another QB on this team that can lead the offense? IDK. We all knew QB was the Achilles heel of this team. What was feared has come to pass. Next week is a new week. Never defeat yourself, there are enough people who want to defeat you to go around.
Any reason beyond that and platitudes to be optimistic?
