Spurrier determined to right offensive


Spurrier is ready to shake things up on offense again and no position is safe. Check out these quotes:


"There may be some different starters this week, all over the offense," Spurrier said. "We're going to have tryouts this week to see who we think the best players are to go play."


"I'm tired of watching the way we play," Spurrier said. "We need to (have tryouts). This time, if we have to play a whole bunch of freshmen and walk-ons, I will do it. We're going to see how the guys compete in practice. We'll shake it up and see what happens."


"We need to find out which guys want to bust their tail and play all-out for South Carolina," Spurrier said. "That's what the fans want, that's what I want, that's what we all want. We just don't quite get it right now. It's not terrible, but it needs to be better."


and the best one....


"We're opening up all spots," Spurrier said. "If Larry Freeman has the best week at tight end, he'll start this week. Some of those linemen, shoot, we're not afraid to put anybody on the bench right now. I don't know anyone that has played so well on offense that he deserves to say he's a starter. Do you see any all-conference performances out there?"



Looks like Spurrier is not having anymore excuses and is finally going to put in everyone. I personally like this decision. I mean some guys are "Gamers" and some guys are practice guys. Its one thing to do well in your conform zone in practice, but to do it on the big stage is a different story. The only way you find out is to let them play. Here's to finally seeing what Garcia, Barnes, Maddox, and Hills can do.


But then again if we play well people will say its only UAB (then insert Ole miss and Kentucky the following two weeks). So there you have it folks 3 weeks to make this offense ready to go against LSU.....
