South Carolina at Vandy - Live!

FINAL- Vandy 24-17. Wow. How bad is NC State? No way Carolina was a ranked team. (Please do not look at our poll below.)

7:39 Fourth quarter: And of course, it takes less than two minutes for Carolina to score. 24-17 Vandy. Great scramble from Smelley earlier in the drive.

9:28 Fourth quarter 24-10 Vandy. Holy Crap! Vandy scored 24 points??? unreal if you watched the first half. South Carolina got frustrated and let it get to their heads. Hard to see USC scoring twice in 9 minutes, but ya never know...

10:29 Fourth quarter: Jesse Palmer has been borderline incoherent through this entire game, but he did make a salient point about Carolina seeming to lose its poise. And somehow that was not a facemask/horse collar??? What??? And the refs make up for it with a slightly questionable pass interference. not looking good for the Cocks right now.

3:53 3rd quarter: And Vandy takes the lead after a series of playcalling that finally put USC back on its heels. USC looks a little worn down on defense.

6:5- Third quarter: South Carolina responds with a nice drive, but it ends with a questions draw call on third and 8 that nets nothing and new Vandy blocks the field goal attempt. If Vandy can block anyone up front, the Dores have a chance.

10:00 third quarter: Vandy takes advantage with an ugly, but still 6-points TD. Now this is a game.

10:21 3rd quarter: Muffed punt recovery is a big break for Vandy which has continued to be unable to block Carolina up front. Carolina continues to just give Vandy chances to stay in the game.

Halftime: 10-3 South Carolina leads after a late field goal. nice play by the SC quarterback Smelley at the end of the half to feel the pressure and stay in field goal range. in this game, that might be a huge play.

Can someone tell me why Jesse Palmer is continually whooping in the background?

10:26 2nd: Ok. This game is going nowhere. Vandy cannot handle Carolina up front and as quick as the Vandy QB is, he basically has no chance to do anything. I'm calling a 13-0 final.

2:33 1st quarter: big pick for Vandy. Getting down two TDs would be bad news for the Dores. Sweet crackback block too!

6:00 nice catch on the fade route by SC. 7-0 Gamecocks.
I'm debating whether live blogging can survive four quarters of Craig James.

7:04 1st quarter: Sorry for the slow start, was eating a very messy dinner which hampers the blogging. Should be an exciting matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Under Armour University!
