The South Carolina Football team had a scrimmage Saturday morning and from listening to the coaches talk we really learned nothing new about the team. According to Ellis Johnson he saw no improvement in the defense the past week. Some of the younger players he was looking to stand out apparently did nothing to show they are ready to step in. Devin Taylor was the only name I heard mentioned that was standing out in any way.

The really bad thing is it sounds like the same problems with the defensive backfield are still there. Hopefully they get it corrected. 

Of course it’s the second week of spring practice and some players are still figuring out what they are supposed to do with the position changes. As they get more familiar with the new positions their play should improve.

On the offensive side of the ball Coach Spurrier does not seem real happy with the QBs right now but that’s nothing new. The offense normally takes awhile to catch up with the defense at the start of spring practice. The best thing coming out of this spring practice is the offensive line is pretty well set, at least until the new freshmen linemen arrive.

I can’t remember the last time our offense line was set this early in the year. It has been the weak spot of this team for so long. A good line should mean great things for Marcus Lattimore and Stephen Garcia. When Garcia has a little time he is a much better QB, but most are.

The Gamecocks will practice again Tuesday at 4:00pm. With this weather it will not seem much like spring practice. More like practice before a bowl game.
