South Carolina ran 66 plays overall, 37 in the first half when Gary Danielson was saying they had us right where they wanted us. In the second half, they ran 29 plays for a total of 30 yards, in the fourth quarter they ran 11 plays for a -20 yards. Yes, our defense does appear to get stronger throughout the game...

Of course if we had more 3 and done posses ions like our first one, that statistic would be beyond moot. --- On Tue, 11/17/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: The CBS analyst kept talking about South Carolina running a number of plays - the higher the number of plays the more likely they were to win. I kept disagreeing. Granted if the CBS analyst meant that - SC kept moving the ball down the field the whole game - ok - I agree - but why didn't he say that - and that is too obvious - so I don't think he meant that. My point was - the way that we rotate defensive players - and the depth that we have - we look as strong and fast in the 4th quarter as we do in the first quarter - if not stronger and faster. Whereas most opposing offenses tend to wear down during the game - our defense usually gets stronger. So more plays would not help them. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
