Colorful Steve Spurrier in rare form after ugly wi

  • Steve Spurrier is not only one of the best college football coaches in America, hes one of the most entertaining.No one tells it like it is better than Spurrier, whether hes using his folksy style to admonish his own team or .MORE: | Spurrier is particularly colorful when he pulls out a game he knows he shouldnt have won, like he did Thursday night, on both sides of the ball.Though it might seem like hes just hemming and hawing or poormouthing, Spurrier is brutally honest and excels at addre sing the real i sues. He might sling nifty zingers, but he also doesnt hesitate to openly criticize his own players and coaches and bluntly self-analyze himself in a manner in which most head Connor Murphy Jersey coaches wouldnt do.And he plays it well. Hes either the worlds best salesman or so honest he cant help what comes out of his mouth.His overall analysis of Thursdays game was cla sic Spurrier.We hung Patrick Sharp Jersey in there. We hung in there and stopped them in the red zone, but weve got enough to yell and scream about for the whole team, he said. What did I learn? I learned weve got a long ways to go.Heres a look at some of Spurriers best one-liners and analysis after an .On his own performance:I think I called a lousy game. Fourth-and-1 and we had no busine s trying to sneak it, but we did and didnt have a chance. Thats my fault.On his defense, which gave up a ton of yards but had two interceptions in the end zone and saved the day while his offense sputtered: I dont know how many yards North Carolina had. What did they have? 440 Bobby Hull Jersey and 13 points see, that dont go together. Whatd we make? About 240, at best? 394? Gee, it felt like we got about 200.On the big play that won the game Shon Carsons 48-yard touchdown run around the right end:We ran it once and went for about 8, and then we kept running it and kept running it, and then we got stupid and ran somewhere else. We should have just kept running it the handoff sweep around the right end.On who did play well for his team:All of our snaps were good tonight. (Center) Alan Knott snapped them back there. Thats one good thing we did well is snap it to the quarterback. But Jeremy Roenick Jersey staying on sides and jumping off sides and delay of game, we were pretty sad. We couldnt get lined up. Weve got too many formations. Weve got to coach better.On his quarterback struggles and five different players taking snaps from center on offense:Thats what you do when youre not a good pa sing team. You mix it around to a whole bunch of guys. Well probably keep doing that. Thats just what we do right now, not very well but On another unheralded star:One player who had a super night was our walk-on punter. You want me to brag on a punter, Im bragging on ours. Not only did he punt beautifully all night, he made a tackle on that field goal we attempted on the last play of the half. That thing looked like it was going all the way and Sean Kelly, our punter, got him and tackled him. So give a little praise to our Gamecock punter.Given hiscomments, you would think Spurrier was talking about a dreadful lo s or incredibly discouraged by his teams performance. Instead, he was able to find a bit of solace in a big victory.I Chicago Blackhawks Jersey m encouraged that we played poorly and won, he said. Were very pleased that we won a ballgame, but we know were very fortunate. Were not strutting out of here like were hot stuff. We were very fortunate.And, on this night, for Spurrier, that was enough.
