Whatever It might be.
Visor Boy took the Gamecocks into Nashville last night and USC played well for two quarters. Then the Columbia-born coach of Vanderbilt Bobby Johnson made adjustments at halftime. The Commodores then scored 21 straight points, shut down Spurrier’s vaunted oh-fense, and won comfortably. This after Cock fans in the Charlotte area all but guaranteed a victory because Vandy had beaten Lesser Carolina last year in Columbia.
Oh. I really thought Spurrier had a chance to build a good to great program at USC. But in retrospect, when is the last time a Spurrier coached team has exceeded expectations? His tenure with the Redskins was a disaster. After his national title at Florida in 1996, the Ball Coach’s last five Gator teams managed only one SEC title and finished out of the Top 10 twice. Rabid Gator fans wanted even more, which helped shoo Spurrier out the door. After last night’s loss his record at USC stands at 22-16 overall and — get this — 11-13 in the SEC.
This is not what Cock nation signed up for — not with an immensely talented Georgia Bulldog team rolling into Columbia next week. Should Spurrier get steamrolled in that game, watch out. It, whatever It is, will have left the building.
