all right what's up welcome back GC live West Mitchell Chris Clark Tuesday episode of the show as always brought to you by our good friend Clint Hammond CMG homon Clint hammond.com 803- 422674 you see it right above our heads every single show n MLS number 71597 of course I mean we've been telling you about Clint for years now he did he did enter the transfer Portal same great great coverage that you're going to need as far as your mortgage same great just uh walking you through everything it can be a complicated process when I bought my first home Clint was the guy I called he he helped me out just immensely again that nmls number 71597 he's gonna take that process and and just simplify it for you make it very very easy 803 422 6797 if you want to call him and also uh commiserate over the game Saturday yep Clint will be there for you as well while also talking about some interest rates with you but shout out to Clint a little bit later on we're going to tell you about one of our new sponsors here on GC live as well but first we're going to dive into this press conference South Carolina already turning the page getting ready for Kentucky this weekend and Chris it it's actually a little bit maybe people don't care about this but for us from the media standpoint this whole injury report thing is going to be a little bit different you notice no injury report on Sunday teleconference no injury report today but now schools have to give an official injury report starting tomorrow and that it has to be detailed it has to be at least in terms of this guy is available this guy is questionable this guy's Gametime decision could there still be some coach manipulation of the list of of course right like there can be are but are there also penalties now yes there are and and I think this will stand to give us a little more direct official idea of exactly where things are but no I did so does this mean though we won't be getting comments on the injuries we'll just be getting that official statement I I'll be curious to see how this works and just from a cover standpoint it comes out first Wednesday so that one will obviously be covered like we'll have an article for that one but then there will be an update Thursday Friday and game day so you you get kind of an incremental update every single day of the week yeah that is fascinating and I do like how um I I can't pretend to have paid attention of how every other coach is handling this but I imagine very similar and that a lot of coaches now are going to be like yeah you know I'll tell you about the injuries when I have to now but we are going to get a little bit more than usual it it will be the the not accusing any coaches but the leeway that they have of maybe fudging a thing here or there will be interesting to see like how do they administer the penalties right um like if you say a guy's questionable but he was really out like what what is like how do you even do that I don't know and can coaches just say are they still be able to do the lower body injury type of thing I would imagine yeah that's a good question yeah I I think it'll be good for the game regardless even if it's still you know there'll probably still be a few issues with it for the most part it'll be good for the game I think and good for us too in terms of knowing exactly who's going to be out there and I mean good for the gamblers as well that's ultimately what it is for but so preview in Kentucky that was today's press conference obviously like I said no injury report so no what I would call hard news frankly from this one more of a big picture sort of typical Tuesday press conference and I think Chris big red saying is announcing the injury report give opponents an upper hand well every everybody has to announce it so everybody's on an even playing field I think it's a good thing honestly for uh for the game itself it's good for the fans to know who's going to be out there and we'll certainly see how all that plays out but most of today was kind of your typical hey kuy's good at this they're good at that here's what they're all about I mean South Carolina has been in some tight games with Kentucky and obviously last year very tight game the year before South Carolina kind of controlled that game and then pulled away at the end and uh really played very well in Lexington this past season looked like Kentucky was going to win the thing Carolina scores pretty late goes on to win in a just crazy environment at Williams price stadium so Chris it felt like so for years South Carolina had kuy's number then Kentucky had South Carolina's number for a stretch and now South Carolina has won two straight and let let's go ahead and just call it for what it is we've talked about it all off season we can't back down from this now this is one of the most important games of the young season regardless of how f feel about this past Saturday and being disappointed being upset doesn't change the fact this one is massive yeah I mean you you didn't lose that game Saturday west but the players certainly cannot take the approach of letting that game kind of mentally stay with them right it the for lack of a better term stench of that game from Saturday even though they won it has lingered with the fan base right I mean watching be press conference live I saw some of the comments I've been following our Forums on the Insiders Forum on Gamecock central.com I've been following social media I mean there's still a lot of conversation in Colombia and in Gamecocks country about how that game went um people are not happy with the performance obviously and everybody knows that it's got to get better the team I think Wes we've had some questions about the team and kind of how they're handling it that they've had you know a Sunday practice Corrections kind of a lighter day normally Monday day off today hit the practice field on Tuesday in Earnest and it's full-blown Kentucky week one thing that I have picked up and and Beamer had some comments that hit on a little bit of this of just watching back some of the tape and what they saw the players know obviously that they did not play well enough in in a lot of facets really you look at offense defense special team there are issues with each of them most of the focus has been on the offense right and now the question is what can you go how many of those things can you correct in a very short amount of time against an opponent that's going to be a lot better quite frankly better athletes better everything in Kentucky I I think it's obviously going to be a big challenge so um they got to go out and and make sure that they Implement those Corrections uh as quickly as they possibly can yeah for sure and I I think Chris the the obvious for me with Kentucky is dude you look at Walker in the middle of this defense and I mean th this is one of the most impressive defensive tackle prospects that South Carolina's gonna face this year I mean he just is from a size standpoint from a standpoint of a guy that can actually move at that size and move well his Fleet of foot and really kind of a guy that I I think you know this was something be touched on and that he can wreck your game plan so I think if you're South Carolina you've got to go into this thing saying he he's our first priority on offense trying to find a way to control him now this a Kentucky defense maybe they don't necessarily have all the big names that some other defenses do but they bring back a lot of guys I thought you know you look at that team last year I remember early on Chris it felt like they struggled a little bit on defense more so than we're used to seeing from Kentucky then you know they they played very well defensively against South Carolina and basically held Carolina in check all game long which is I think relevant to this game when you consider that they did bring back I think Beamer said 10 guys from the defense last year you brought in a transfer who is someone that basically I think was hurt at Georgia last year but started the year before and is a heck of a player as well at linebacker and you know I I expect Chris nothing less than what we're used to seeing from a Kentucky defense and that is hard-nosed make you earn every yard drop back play some Zone but this is not what you call soft Zone is play some Zone and just beat you up up front and force you to chip away go down the field and score I I think this is a a game that you look at it on paper combine with we've been talking about with South Carolina's offense and need to make a jump with what you would expect from kuy's defense and uh you know that that jump is going to have to come quick in terms of being precise on offense with what you're doing in the throw game I want to go back to one point that you made uh Wes about just this game against Kentucky how critical it is you you start looking at the schedule for South Carolina and I I think after we can't take too much away we've had basically two weeks of college football week zero week one and most of South Carolina's opponents obviously just played in week one and a lot of them played no offense to those schools cup kick right that's one reason why the SEC aside from just being very good with a lot of good great Elite teams you know that's why they set a record of most 60o wins margins of victory since what 1938 1948 something like that there's a reason for that um I think after one week Wes this league might be might be even better than we thought I mean like we thought the two worst teams would probably be Mississippi State and Vandy Vandy just beat an ACC team at home in overtime in Virginia Tech Mississippi State won their game 56 to7 right and I don't even care who they played I think they played uh Eastern Kentucky don't know a thing about them both those teams won right so you start looking over South Carolina's schedule the Kentucky game on paper as all these things are right now seems like one of the like quote unquote more winnable games but you're an underdog what's the line at now you said it yesterday I think nine 10 10 and a half at times today 10 and a half so you're a two-score underdog on the road against an SEC opponent which is a good team and they won their week one opener 31 nothing over Southern Miss yet this is one of the more winnable games I mean that says a lot about the road ahead you don't want to dig yourself too big of a hole if you're South Carolina if you're getting to if you're going to get to where you want to go this is really the type of game that you need to win otherwise you're going to get to a point where you say hey we gotta go uh we got to go win two of three against Old Miss B and Oklahoma or something like that you know to get to to see the path to bowl eligibility and and those are tougher challenges so um a lot to clean up week to week I know Beamer talked about a lot of that today in the presser after going back and review in the film you know certainly some schematic things he pointed out Wes he's recognized that the players or he's shouted out the players for playing hard but also said sometimes in Perimeter blocking they didn't arrive with the word he used was enough intent to get the job done uh which to me kind of points back to I guess the effort or the way in which you're doing things obviously sellers you know there's a lot of eyes on him a lot of pressure on him as Beamer said he's got to play better what what type of positions how can the staff help him just a lot of questions that they've got to get answered in a short amount of time against the Kentucky defense as you said is going to be very physical Stoops teams always are they're going to make things very very tough on you especially on the road it's a it's become increasingly not a very easy place to play in Lexington has not always been the case honestly and they've uh they've gotten they become more and more of a football school even though they're a basketball school first they do care about football now and Stoops has done that uh Travis said do you see my comments about the Run game from The Forum I think I did Travis but you're going to have to refresh my memory on that as to what it was I have read a lot of posts this week and Chris so I don't I don't want to get too deep into this but speaking of the other teams in the SEC I I was measur mesmerized watching old Miss's offense in the first half against Ferman I know it's Ferman but I mean that I I think this is one game I think if ESS had been able to keep Judkins that that may be a national title team yeah that that's my hot take from from week one like I know they're I know they're up there but maybe behind like the top five School at least in terms of the way people see them but dude that offense I I I do think there's some question marks at running back but in terms of their passing game it was incredible like they pretty much against Ferman they pretty much broke the game of football like literally the the stuff that's supposed to work like Ferman is sitting there dropping back into Zone and generally that's like all right against most most teams even if you're outmatched you drop back into Zone if you can get any pressure on the quarterback whatsoever you're forcing them to throw underneath and and Dink and dunk on you well Old Miss has obviously recruited pretty well on their o line as well because they have such speed and size at receiver a great quarterback and um an o line that can pass Pro the gaps in the zone just get bigger and bigger and bigger so they're running these Concepts like 30 and 40 yards down the field like it's not just go ball it's this guy's running a scissor route where it's like post um corner and then the receiver over here is running this cell route that these two guys have just run everybody off and then oh this guy enters the picture of the Zone over here and he's wide open for a 40 yard gain and they're just doing this over and over like they they literally broke the way the game of football is supposed to work and then they got you looking deep deep deep deep they start throwing rpos out to the perimeter to these freak receivers with the DB 10 yards off I'm like this this is not fair like I I legitimately I'm big in the spur your Camp of like hey make the other team stop you I felt I felt bad for Ferman because through through eight drives om Miss had seven touchdowns and a field goal that was the first eight drives of the game the ninth Drive was the final drive of the half ESS actually got into field goal range on that drive as well and and missed the field goal but so n nine first half drives seven touchdowns a field goal and a miss field goal and dart was on the bench by the second half because they were up 52 to nothing at halftime yeah I [Music] mean that was um that was something and I I mean I saw Ferman Kay Hendricks I saw his um his post game comments and he literally dropped the they were who I thought they were type of thing um he said he said that he told his team Ferman that they could play Miss a 100 times and he's not sure it'd be much different you know with how they played he apparently you know felt like they made a lot of mistakes and I mean Miss just so good man they I feel like they're going to do not that not that level not what' you say seven touchdowns in a row basically I don't think they're going to do that to secc teams but they're going to be hard to stop um I think and man I don't know what even with even taking Judkins out of the picture with him being at a different school they still have some very talented backs and they've got a great play caller and they're load they're good up front I think and they're loaded at the skill position so gonna be a tough out no doubt and um I I think man honestly one thing that I've seen among game cot fans and I understand it is you know a lot of them didn't have teams we'll see how good Old Dominion ends up being this year right maybe they turn out to be a really good team in the Sun Belt and that might make people feel slightly better if they're not that will people look back and go yeah that team that should not have been nearly that close but I think people are looking at the week one results seeing what Old Miss did against Ferman seeing what Mississippi state did against Eastern Kentucky watching Vandy beat a power four team yeah they had to go to overtime but I think people are just looking at that going man like there was just an expectation of seeing more of a jump I think people saw that on defense they saw it on defense people were excited about Dylan Stewart and Kyle Canard and some of the other things that they saw and the issues that we saw on defense very correctable Beamer went into more detail today about the first long touchdown actually had a helmet communication issue so you've got to get that cleaned up but is that more correct than some of the stuff that we saw on offense yeah I think so the touchdown run you had you you had one player get out of a gap so like you see some of those things overall I think people are somewhat pleased at least with the defense it's the offense particularly when looking at what some of their other SEC counterparts did in week one I think they're more upset and honestly Wes you know some people might say yeah but those other SEC teams played f s schools or schools that aren't as good as Old Dominion I get that but it doesn't take away the sting right of of just looking around saying man these other offenses just look so much more uh settled and prolific and and organized and just better and so I I get the frustration but from here it's about what can you do to try to get better heading into these next couple games with your SEC games yeah and I think man like everything there's levels I I do kind of like I I think Beamer was probably being pretty honest when he said that he and I'm paraphrasing I don't remember exactly how he said it but he did not expect the passing game to struggle the way it did but he did think there would be some I guess Growing Pains would be the best way to say it and that that's really where I am as well the more we learned the more we thought going in I was like I think there are going to be some moments where we see some really nice Big Flash plays and there's going to be some moments where we um see uh it really looked like a young quarterback and unfortunately for Carolina there were far fewer of those sort of big splashy plays than I I kind of anticipated we might see in the game and so that's why you have the result that you did really um the explosive plays were few and far between um having gone back and counted it and depends on how exactly you counted as far as passes versus runs but uh very few actual explosive plays in the game for South Carolina which I think is something that's obviously got to change but hey kuy's a team they're G to take away your explosives man like that that's something they're most years very very good at and so I think for for Carolina it's easy to want to panic if you're a fan because of last season you can't you can't Panic on this offense yet and I certainly I mean I won't say the person's name but saying sers is not an SEC quarterback after 23 passes is just ridiculous honestly like he's thrown 23 passes as a starter at South Carolina so you you got to give him a little bit of Grace on that and let's see what happens if you know if he was out if this was his third year and he had a bunch of receivers back back and everything else was clicking on offense and it was all the quarterback then that would be one thing this is completely different in my opinion so carw says the receivers need to give sellers the help he needs I mean I guys I don't I feel like we're just repeating ourselves at this point but does sellers have to throw the ball better moving forward of course he would sit here and tell you that it's not a bash he would tell you that do the receivers need to help him out from time to time yes absolutely does the o line in pass protection in terms of sorting out stunts and blitzes and stuff like that a little bit better yes absolutely so it it really is all of those things now the problem is when you're dealing with all those things being an issue you have what we saw Saturday in that you can have 10 guys doing the right thing but if on that play it's hey the receiver didn't make a play or on that play Hey sellers was off the whole thing gets thrown off if if you're a safety or if you're a linebacker and you hit the wrong Gap but nobody's running to that Gap you just live for the next down and nobody knows on offense most of the guys have to execute at a fairly high level every play for it to work you know this morning uh on the radio West Side talked about kind of just off the cuff these three things that you know need to happen for Len Norris to improve but I think really here in you talk there's actually several more and so here's kind of a brief version number one he is going to have to throw the football better and I think was he even for a guy that's very even keill like him was he a little keyed up maybe at times yes he he missed some throws there's no doubt he missed some throws that a couple of them were probably catchable for the receivers um some others that were not as catchable where you say that's just not a great throw right there's going to be I think some natural improvement from Sellers as he continues to play the the line about a guy not being an SEC quarterback after his first start I remember hearing the same thing about Conor Shaw he's best quarterback in school history not saying sers is going to get there I'm just saying we need a little bit of time maybe maybe let's give it a few games even goodness let's keep the bar that low let's wait a few games not one before we anoint someone or completely dismiss any notion of their potential there there will be I think some natural improvement with the noris sellers because he has the tools if he was a guy that were like man he's just not that talented we might say yeah this might be about what he looks like we know he's got more Talent than that so natural progression number two his his offensive coaches I think need to help him in that progression so how good of a job can they do between now and the Kentucky game which is the next game uh very difficult challenge how much can they bring him along in those areas of pointing out here's something to correct here's how we're going to help you correct it I'd say number three West ingame one of the things we were surprised about I think in game one did sellers have some easy throws that were schemed up that he missed yes could there have been maybe some more other easy access throws quick throws that might have helped him more some different things schematically yes and then I think you know obviously the offensive line as you mentioned I would add that and then receivers you know Lenoris isn't going to be 100% On Target all the time can you bail him out with a really good play at times um can you make a guy Miss if there is one of these easy access throws schemed up for him um he makes that throw on time and On Target and then you go get 11 yards instead of four that type of thing I think there's several things that need to happen and frankly Could Happen throughout the course of the season but again it goes back to this question how quickly and how effectively can you do those things yeah and you're here's the thing people people equate a missed throw as if somebody can't make a throw and when you're either getting pressured or when you are having what what some coaches will call like seeing ghosts or you're just off or you're sped up some coaches will call it your mechanics sort of fail you so I mean the these are throws that sellers if he was in the backyard he probably can throw him with his eyes shut you know what I'm saying like there's a difference between missing a throw because you physically are not an accurate passer and missing a throw because you're sped up or the pass rush is getting to you or you're just out of sync and your mechanics get away from you a little bit like there there was one ball I think Carolina had like a this was early on it looked like some type of like a smash combination where you just have a little hitch underneath and a corner over top and sellers and it was into the boundary so there wasn't really much room to operate for the receivers anyway and it was like sellers went to make one throw and then he hesitated and then he was like on his front foot and he just kind of flipped the ball up there it's like he kind of thought he knew where the ball was supposed to go but he was now late and you're just like that is a clear sign sign of a guy who is still trying to fill out his first game at quarterback and so I I I really just think everybody's got to just slow the you know what down on this kid and let's see what happens when he's throwing more than 23 passes as a starter I I am saying that number right 10 for 23 I think hopefully I'm not being the guy plus even if it's 27 well it's 23 right I I think that's right yeah I think that's right so and four passes last year I do know that for a fact because I've written it 58 times this off season but let let's just relax the guy can throw the football I promise you let's let's see what happens moving forward and go from there it it's going to be a total team approach on offense for them to get better it is that no nobody nobody wants to talk about that nobody wants to think about that but that that's what it will be and so I I think um you know the Red Zone stuff BRC makes a good point you gotta finish drives in the Red Zone I look at that though the same as Red Zone in the North Carolina game last year yes what was happening resulted in you not doing what well in the Red Zone but but you got to be able to throw the ball better period like you got to be able to be better period Then the execution in the Red Zone will be better anyway so I I thought Red Zone was just an overall kind of uh symptom yes yeah yeah W I think it's a great time to uh break and uh tell everybody about our new sponsor what do you think do it tell you about my guy Brad Moore and Legion investigative group

you missed it our reaction show to the weekend it was on Monday morning so that's something we're going to probably keep doing from now on at least during the season 900 am on Monday so if you're if you're an afternoon person you can still of course watch it on YouTube later on listen to it on the podcast but if you want to join us live every Monday that would be 9:00 a.m. we're just trying to get our thoughts out there after the game a little bit earlier than we have been Tuesday the we're the way we're going to set this up Tuesday will be right after Beamer two o'clock where we will talk about whatever Beamer had to say Jack vry and I do have it confirmed our girl Kendall she will be the host on Wednesday GC live she's going to be helping out with us a little bit more this season uh we've got a recruiting uh up video that will go up later on today that Kendall and I just recorded today be on the lookout for that on Gamecock Central on YouTube so Kendall and Jack maybe some guests on Wednesday and then Chris and I will do our final preview this is a little bit different Thursdays at two as opposed to Friday so we'll go ahead we'll knock that out we were just seeing from our numbers sometimes the Friday one so late in the afternoon it gets lost in the shuffle a little bit going into game weekend so Thursday will be that final preview and and everybody will have those full two days essentially to check that out so that that will be our schedule here on GC live for the foreseeable future and big red yeah there were recruits in like I said we went into that on the video that we'll post on Gamecock Central and our YouTube and also we've got a story on Gamecock Central right now if you want to check out some recruit reactions and some stuff that we have heard Chris in terms of other sort of little details today from um from Beamer or from the players by the way Jack already does have up basically some updates from the players and some of the things they said and you know Lenoris just basically said and I I need to go back and watch the video myself but reading Jack's updates here um basically he said he was trying too hard not to make mistakes and and did get a little bit um sort of Happy Feet in terms of wanting to run out there needs to just stay in there a little bit was a little bit jumpy just needs to be patient I think that was pretty apparent rewatching it pretty apparent watching it live too but um you would expect nothing less than Lenoris to just sort of like he's an honest kid he sort of says exactly how he feels says what's on his mind and kind of confirmed what it looked like I think yeah and I think Beamer expanded on that a little bit too you know about the pressure that he was under and look we we've talked about how you know even Keel lenorris is and I I think in his demeanor you saw that he didn't get too high or low during the game but everybody is human right these are not robots this was start one and I think I'll say both of these things and not to sound contradictory um did I think that lenorris would play better in game one I did I I really did um but did we tell everybody constantly going into the opener that there would be some freshman mistakes some firsttime starter mistakes uh some Growing Pains yes right were there maybe a few more of them in game one than I anticipated yeah but you know I'm human too and certainly things happen every week and every season that you don't really foresee both good and bad um I do think there's you know again I talked about this earlier I think there's going to be some natural progression I go back to a comment that D loggin had this off season leading up to the year Lenoris doesn't make the same mistake twice now I don't know if he was being completely probably not being completely literal in that right and that he's never going to make the same mistake twice but generally as a generality if he sees something that needs to be corrected he does a good job of doing that so um I think even against Kentucky win or lose regardless of the overall body of work Lenor sellers I do think think we will see some growth in his game from week to week and really throughout the season because I do think he's a talented guy who's sharp and um I think we'll see growth from from game one to game two I don't have my pick in West it's only Tuesday on the live show so I don't know I haven't formulated my opinion quite yet I haven't seen enough I haven't watched enough Kentucky to kind of formulate how I think this one's going to go overall um but I do think they it's fair to expect probably more up and down but that he will show some growth in game two yeah for sure I I don't have a pick yet either man have you watched Kentucky yeah haven't have not watched game one of them this year have you've got into it a little bit right yeah I mean I wouldn't say I've watched the whole thing I've maybe watched a quarter quarter and a half um I tell you what stood out to me that was most surprising is uh Vandergriff who's a guy you know we're we're familiar with him Carolina has recruited him Beamer recruited him to Oklahoma you know he was a guy Chris when he entered the portal I kind of wondered hey Will Will Carolina reach out will Carolina be involved here this a guy guy that he was interested in the Gamecocks during the recruiting process goes to Georgia is obviously behind a a bunch of guys there transfers out gets his chance to play at Kentucky really has not played a lot and man if you're Carolina you really wish this game was in Colombia because I I think him being a maybe not younger but an inexperienced quarterback we we know what Williams Bryce at night can do to younger quarterbacks he's going to be a little bit more comfortable I imagine being there but uh point I'm trying to get to as I get very longwinded here as always he's more of a runner than I thought he was yeah like unfortunately so yeah yeah if if you turn on the the tape if you turn on the uh the TV copy from last week especially early on he was running a lot and you know he's one of those guys I feel like we see them more and More in college football because you have to be mobile at quarterback where you're not like he's not lenorris he's not um he's not like an elite Runner but you're like okay he's way faster than I just sort of Drew him up in my mind I guess is the best way to say it and now they're probably going to go back and say dude stop putting your head down and trying to run people over because he got physical in the game which I think you respect and he hadn't really been actually hit in since high school maybe so you you respect that but going against Carolina's defense I I think that that's something where they would probably tell him don't you know don't do that anymore but that's going to be a fact faor in this game that I really did not think was going to be a factor and I I'll be curious Devin lirry came in for them last year with high expectations I don't know about you Chris he didn't really match what I thought he could be for them based on what we saw one of his Seasons at NC State he was really good and so I'm not ready to say Vandergriff is going to be that guy for them that can the ceiling of the offense but I'm not ready to say he's not either because he did look so far to be in pretty good command of what they were doing yeah and that was something uh I think last time we talked to one of the ksr guys you know he had mentioned that Vander Griff is gonna be more mobile um than Devon Larry was and you think about the the game with South Carolina last year uh ly kind of struggled you know had some over over throws Carolina got ky's offensive line struggled last season in pass protection Carolina got the best of them on many occasions made some big plays in that game getting some turnovers off Kentucky they've got a new OC you know Bush hamon comes in replace Liam Cohen who went back to the NFL and he's been a few different places so I still think a lot to learn about this team um they had a very tidy performance for the most part I haven't dove into the game like I said but you know you win 31 nothing probably feel pretty decent about that um we'll get into the man minutia of the game this week and all the matchups of course but uh jury's probably still out but this will definitely be a challenge for South Carolina because you look at what you got to go up there and do offensively against their defense and then you're gonna have a different type of challenge you know when you think about South Carolina's defense against their offense and against Brock vandagriff with a new OC as well yeah Bush hamton 38 years old Chris um was that Boise State kind of kind of is a he's a he's a Stoops guy in that much like Carolina they kind of want to run these Pro style offenses but do it in a college way and again I was at a quarter and a half so take that for what it's worth but it lots of lots of motion and actually a good good bit good bit more Tempo than they ran last year in terms of a faster Tempo I should say and last year Kentucky was one of the slower teams in college football in terms of lining up and getting their plays off that will not be the case this year I think it'll be a good bit more balanced in terms of how they do that you have a good receiving core you have a I think solid running backs and then a defense obviously like we talked about earlier that's going to get after it so we will'll dive into them later on but the early the Early Vibe here is that this is definitely going to be a test for South Carolina where you have to take a big jump from week one to week two Chris did you have any other takeaways from Shane Beamer before we get out of here for the day uh I don't think I had any other big ones like like you said earlier man not not any big news no you know injury updates it was a little bit more big picture view after after looking at film so I I think we pretty much hit it hit on most of it and I think the page is ready to be turned for the remainder of this week mostly to Kentucky obviously we'll continue looking back on game one and that hey what do we see from game one that has to improve for game two things like that Trends um that South Carina has to break but yeah no no other big picture thoughts right now from from today's presser all right like I said earlier Jack will be on tomorrow Wednesday show along with Kendall they'll be talking about whatever the coordinators have to say and then on Thursday Chris and I will be on with our final preview gonna effort getting somebody from ksr in on the show for that to talk about the Kentucky perspective of this one as well all
