| Spurrier calm after loss. At 3-2, getting bowl eligible is the most-urgent goal now. |
In his post-game press conference, Head
Ball Coach Steve Spurrier sounded like a dispirited man.
He was not angry and sounded like he
knew most of 2014's season goals slipped out of reach with a 21-20 home loss to
Missouri. Spurrier was gracious, in his comments after the game, and gave the Tigers credit.
He called
it a “team loss” not referring to the total breakdown of the D.
But he was down.
Now getting bowl eligible is the
most-urgent goal.
Maybe, before the defensive collapse in
the fourth quarter, Spurrier knew he had big problems on his
defensive coaching staff. He alluded to the problems on D after the Texas A&M loss and the Vandy win.
But Spurrier is a loyal man. He certainly
was pulling for his defensive coaches. Like all Gamecock fans he was
hoping. Sadly they let him, and the fans, down.
It's obvious some BIG changes
will have to be made on the defensive staff.
South Carolina is a team that has come
out on the winning end most times. But this time the miracle was a win for
Missouri.
The fortune finally ran out. It's time
to replenish the magic wand, with some new personnel. And Spurrier
calmly seems to know that.
