I don't mind the shortness.
So, this is pretty damning. Man our offense is atrocious.
When asked if there was a moment where the Gamecocks? defense felt they had solved the Wolverines, cornerback JaMarcus King gave an affirmative answer. He felt that way after Michigan?s first two drives.
?They gave us everything,? King said. ?After that, we knew we could stop everything.?
Why? King felt the Wolverines were playing to their tendencies ? running a lot of the same routes over and over again.
?The choice route where the receiver runs a mesh and the tight end runs a dig,? King said. ?So they ran that probably 85 percent of the time, and they ran a lot of stop routes on the back side.
Similar answers were provided by linebacker TJ Brunson and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, as well.
Brunson knew from certain formations whether Michigan was going to run the ball and where the Wolverines would run it. He could also tell what to expect from personnel groupings. That allowed the defense to simply read their keys and ?make plays, execute.?
?We got in the right calls in the right positions,? Brunson said, ?and everyone executed for the most part.?
