Texas A&M at South Carolina, fourth quarter



Nice the stiff-arm by Reynolds at the end of this play. He, like Frank Iheanacho, can be charitably described as "wiry" but he plays with the physicality of someone much bigger. He is the best player on this offense and it's not even close.


Just wanted to point out that when Trayveon Williams goes in motion like this, he looks like an excited puppy waiting for you to throw a ball so he can tear ass after it, and that makes me happy.


Tanner Schorp is small, slow and lacks FBS strength. I've never thought he had the physical attributes to play in the SEC. I mean, I still don't, but watch him put the DE in the hurt locker on this play. Holy crap, he blocked him so hard it nearly crippled poor Connor Lanfear. That's textbook.


As an RB in pass protection, you don't really need to be a road-grader. Sometimes you can be a speed bump and you'll do just fine. This was, incidentally, the only outstanding throw Perry Orth made in the 4th quarter. The rest were either off-target or against soft coverage.


Now that Daylon Mack has his big-boy pants back on, I feel like this 2nd string DT platoon needs a nickname. "Mack-aroni and Chevis" is the best I can come up with on the fly, but I'll workshop some more in the coming weeks.


As a former terrible offensive lineman myself, I am well acquainted with the play where you're in position to recover a fumble only because you got thoroughly de-pantsed by a DE in pass pro. 


Perry going with the "Joseph Ducreux" pose for his intro shot. Dank meme, bro. Keep calm and meme on!


Credit where it's due, Iheanacho performs reasonably competently in blocking on this play. If Trev sets his foot and cuts left at the end of this play, it's an 82-yard touchdown and he's the new Reggie McNeal. Instead he falls flat on his butt and he's the new Mark Farris.


There's been a ton of griping about the play calling, and some of it was curious. But sometimes you call a zone read option against an 8-man box and it still works.
