Karma struck Clemson Freshman WR Antonio Williams HARD today. The stories of what he did to Justin Stepp are gnarly. A guy Stepp poured his heart in to.
Well, Antonio fumbled to lose the game today. Again, Karma is a WILD thing.

Mike McDaniel needs to show Tua clips of Tom Brady & show him that anytime a defender gets even remotely close to Brady, that he just simply falls down. Then remind Tua that Brady has played almost 25 years.
Tua HAS to start playing smarter in regards to self protection
Before he became the all-time winningest head coach at Florida and USC, the HBC was in charge of the Duke program. Tonight in Charlotte, Spurrier was recognized as a member of the 2018 ACC Football Legends class.

Tell me how a starting OL on Georgia can transfer to a division rival in Tennessee & his waiver get approved for immediate play, but a WR moving up from D-2 Wingate has his waiver denied?
If you don’t think program bias is real, both among the NCAA & recruiting, you are crazy.

They say we scored on their 2nd string, Clemson has been scoring on our 4th and 5th string all night.
We are coming! 😎
Let me say this, Will Muschamp is an incredible human being. I feel bad for him he lost his job. I feel bad for the players who love him. They do. Players love him.
But he’s just a bad Head Coach.
You will never be able to change my mind and I’ll go to my grave believing that if Sindarius Thornwell didn’t have the flu the
#Gamecocks
would have won the National Championship.
Even in a losing effort, I want to say that I’m seeing a different team under Will Muschamp now.
#Gamecocks
used to consistently come out flat in every big game. That’s not happening anymore. They came to play today. Just missed some big opportunities & got no help from the Refs
ESPN radio saying Tua is the question mark.
@keyshawn
said “We already know what we are getting from Mac. We have no idea what we are getting from Tua”
Excuse me? What? We know what we are getting from a rookie who has never taken a single regular season NFL snap?
@KeyJayandMax
Jake’s an unbelievable person and has taken an incredible amount of criticism from the
#Gamecocks
fan base, but he has remained the consummate professional through his ups and downs. Please remember, without Jake Bentley the 2016 season is abysmal. He saved that season.
Muschamp created a culture where the name on the back of the jersey was more important than the name on the front. It’s why past players (not Muschamp guys) talk so much about the family, the fun, and the brotherhood.
And it’s why Muschamp players talk so much about themselves.

HC Mike McDaniel is an offensive GENIUS. His ability to design and call plays is so incredible to watch. Dolphins have guys running wide open on every single play & I’ve never seen that in Miami before.
#FinsUp
Laremy Tunsil has now shut down Khalil Mack and Jadeveon Clowney. And not only shut them down in the pass game, but also moved them in the run game.
Anybody out there suggesting Tunsil not elite yet?
Clemson has played 2 SEC teams this year, Texas A&M & South Carolina. Both SEC QBs had career days vs Clemson’s elite D.
Kellen Mond threw for 430 yards, 3 TDs/0 INTs.
Jake Bentley threw for 510 yards, 5 TDs/1 INT.
What would the SEC’s best QB Tua Tagovailoa do to this D?

I know
#Gamecocks
fans are focused on some uncommitted guys tomorrow, and I get it (& those can go multiple ways).
BUT, the program is landing 2 absolute superstars on Offense in Luke Doty & MarShawn Lloyd.
I believe Lloyd is as elite & special of a RB that has ever came to SC
If you’re a
#Gamecocks
fan and think this Saturday night is not a big and important game for this team then you need to get your head out of the sand. UK is ranked 17th, it’s at their home, and the Gamecocks have lost to them 4 times in a row.
This is a huge game.
Was told a couple weeks ago that 5 star RB Marshawn Lloyd was a legitimate potential get for the
#Gamecocks
and that RB Coach Thomas Brown had worked wonders on getting him.
Huge, huge get for SC. Program changing player.
Muschamp took the ball out of his best players hands who had his team up 17 points. He then leaned on the smallest RB in the SEC to kill the clock. His Offense had 23 total yards in the 4th quarter... all on the ground.
What a shame. His QB was playing out of his mind.
There needs to be serious talk of Muschamp being on the hot seat after this performance. I mean, I love the coach.. he’s a tremendous guy & has ran an incredibly clean program.
But you have to play well in & win big games. The
#Gamecocks
don’t do that. Another awful performance.
Omar Kelly walks up to a friend of mine in Mobile who is interviewing Javon Kinlaw.
Omar asks who is the “big dude”. And my buddy tells him Javon Kinlaw.
Omar responds with: “Never heard of him.”
How you going to cover the draft, be in Mobile, & want to be taken serious...
Nyckoles Harbor just ran a 6.64 to win the 60 meter dash at the Texas Tech Under Armour HS Classic. Harbor is 6’5, 235lbs.
Tyreek Hills fastest indoor 60 meter time was also 6.64.
#Gamecocks
CB Jaycee Horn was the best freshman CB in the country this season. I’m a huge, huge fan of Pat Surtain Jr, but Jaycee had the better freshman season. Both are future top 15 picks.
Clemson 4 star true Freshman DT and top 100 overall HS player Josh Belk is expected to transfer to South Carolina before he ever takes a snap at Clemson. Strange world, I tell ya.
#Gamecocks
I’m not giving up on my
#Gamecocks
. I’m a believer in the staff, the players, and the direction the program is going. I’m not going to let a loss to arguably the most talented team in the country ruin my season.
10 wins is still a possibility.
That last throw by Tua to Waddle had nothing to do with arm strength, IMO. The throw wasn’t even far. Didn’t take much to throw it.
Tua just put too much air under it. I don’t think it had anything to do with arm strength. If he throws it flatter, it’s a house call.
South Carolina has historically been a school that “regionally” recruits. But
@CoachWMuschamp
is recruiting on a national level at a school that is 3 seasons removed from 3-9 & their HC quitting halfway through the season. Let that sink in a moment. Incredible job.
#Gamecocks
#Gamecocks
coaches and players should get off Twitter. Coaches are blocking former players and current players are laughing at fans for being pissed off they got embarrassed on national TV.
I mean, can there be more of a train wreck? This is just embarrassing.
The
#Gamecocks
have received their Financial Agreement from QB
@ryan_hilinski
. No matter what the Ranking websites say, Ryan Hilinski is the best QB in the country. Huge get for Will Muschamp and Co.
Luke Doty has developed his passing game so much. The dual threat is real with him now.
No team in the country is built like UGA defensively. We won’t see that kind of speed again.
I’m already excited for next Saturday.
In 3 career games vs South Carolina, Clemson legend Sammy Watkins totaled 15 catches for 169 yards and zero TDs.
In 2 career games vs Clemson,
#Gamecocks
legend Deebo Samuel totaled 15 catches, 314 yards, and 4 TDs.
The
#Gamecocks
B-ball team has already landed a 5 star player. They’re in a GREAT position to land another one (Simons), plus other top tier talent. SC fans just need to relax and let their elite HC Frank Martin, do his job.
SC fans have no reason to be sad today.
OrTre Smith had as many TDs last year for the
#Gamecocks
as Hayden Hurst had in his entire career at SC. Let that sink in.... and then don’t ever again forget about OrTre.
As much as this hurts me to say, this is on Will Muschamp. Another big game where the team comes out completely flat, can’t keep their composure, and play completely boneheaded.
It’s on the HC. No other way to put it.
#Gamecocks
priority target RB Tank Bigsby is ranked
#24th
nationally on ESPN, 38th nationally on Rivals, and 90th nationally on 247 Sports.
Big time player. Elite RB.
The great news for Shane Beamer & the
#Gamecocks
is that this OC search should have legit options. Candidates now know that Beamer is for real as a HC, is a winner, & has built a fantastic culture to work for.
When Beamer was hired a lot of questions existed. They dont anymore.
#Gamecocks
get huge official word that 5 star DT Josh Belk is immediately eligible.
I expect Belk to play some snaps Saturday. I also wouldn’t be completely shocked if he’s pushing for a starting spot by seasons end.
Maybe I’ve missed something, but I feel the
#Gamecocks
fans base has been very supportive of the players & believe they are really talented. I haven’t seen anybody taking personal shots at players.
All I’ve seen is a fan base tired of losing & are directing frustration at the HC
The
#Gamecocks
landed 2-5 star DL this cycle and the best QB in the country. I really don’t understand what fans are complaining about. People are so focused on the misses and not focused on the actual important thing... how good this class already is.
Freshman mistakes, growing pains, I DONT CARE, without Luke Doty we aren’t even in a position to have a game winning/tying drive.
Luke is the real deal and needs to be the guy moving forward.
