Lattimore Looms Next
The kid ripped us up in the first possession last season. Gamecocks got the ball and went on a 16-play, 79 yard TD drive...Lattimore had 10 carries for 50 yards. He had 3 runs of over 10 yards. Marcus went on to pound us 37 times for 182 yards and 2 TDs.
Now, he's all grown up.
Coach Spurrier told me at the beach this summer that Lattimore was the hardest worker on the team, during the off-season strength & conditioning program. Got bigger. Stronger. More fit.
East Carolina got a taste of it last week. Lattimore took it easy on them...got it 23 times for 112 yards and 3 TDs. That's 4.8 yards a carry.
Ogletree going down kills us. And he's out until Jacksonville probably.
I'd consider going 4-down-linemen this week. Get Geathers and Jenkins in there at the same time. Give Tyson and Jones another shot. Maybe play nickel all day. Having 1 less LB on the field might not be a bad thing.
