re: Just saying the unsayable, thank God Sellers went down

That is how football works. The team that scores the most points wins.
He made a mistake on their 2nd drive of the game too. Then he followed it up with two scoring drives. You are literally just assuming that they wouldn’t score more than 9 points with Sellers in the 2nd half with zero statistical evidence to back it up.
SC was better in every statistical category in the 1st half (with Sellers) than they were in the 2nd half (without Sellers)

The defense was starting to settle down after the 1st qtr. To say we absolutely wouldn’t come back if he stayed in the game is ridiculous. The only thing I will say is if they don’t call the blindside hit on Nuss we probably don’t win.

And you’re assuming they win the game if he plays the second half. Again, we outplayed them in the second quarter & the bulk of their yards came on the ground.

If there is a way to discuss a hypothetical situation without making assumptions, you let me know.
And you are taking a stat line from one part of the game and extrapolating it to the rest of the game. That’s not how it works.
Sellers’ play was starting to deteriorate. He was getting hit, making mistakes.

I don’t know if the outcome would’ve been much different. Before he got hurt he was 9/16 for 113 yards and a pick and had 88 yards rushing(75 on one carry).

Surely you understand that it is easier for LSU to defend the run when they know that the opposing QB literally is not going to throw the ball.

Except for they had the same number of total yards, same number of turnovers, but scored 10 more points in the 2nd quarter…

And you are pretending like Sellers would have done the same thing as Ashford or pretending that for some reason Ashford is better than Sellers.

So you’re telling me Sellers turned the ball over 2x & Ashford turned it over zero?
It’s simple. There is no way to know how the second half plays out with Sellers because he didn’t go.
Sellers can’t tackle Caden Durham. Sellers can’t kick field goals. Sellers can’t prevent their defense jumping offsides.
We won the game.
Take your gamecock propaganda to the SEC rant.

You’re consistently anti-LSU. You’re nit-picking stats and avoiding others.
Sellers had a very good first half. But LSU had already starting cutting into the lead before he got injured due to his own mistakes. He was becoming less and less effecting as the game went on. We do t know if our defense would’ve been able to continue that trend or not because he was injured. That’s part of the game. He was injured on a play that our defense made. What he would have done after is irrelevant. It didn’t happen. We won. Get over it and move on. This team has a lot to work on, but I’m happy we won. It’s very difficult to win on the road in this league. Add to it that this was Nuss’ first true road game as a starter.
ETA Cade Durham was also just getting started.

I never said, or insinuated, either of those things.

Ashford threw 4 total passes?
One of them was an absolute dime, but called back for PI, and his throw while scrambling on the last drive almost caused a tie.
He also gave us all we wanted when he was at Auburn in Kelly’s first year. Additionally, he is faster than sellers.

What? That was is response to you saying that South Carolina was statistically better in the 1st quarter when compared to the 2nd quarter. That’s just not true.

I am talking about South Carolina’s offensive production in the 2nd half compared to the 1st half.

How am I anti-LSU. And I am responding to everyone who says something to me. Who am I avoiding?

He really didn’t. He was actually pretty bad, as is South Carolina’s entire offense.

I’m happy we won too. That doesn’t mean I can’t point out obvious weaknesses and concerns with the team.

That’s great. He has nothing to do with South Carolina’s offense. It’s insane that Durham wasn’t in on any of the 4 plays we ran from the SC 2 yard line. That was coaching malpractice.

Do you think that South Carolina would have scored more than 9 points in the 2nd half if Sellers was playing?

good god dude, give it up. Yes, breaking a long run certainly skews numbers. The dude is not a good QB. You are acting like he is some all-american or something.

LSU finished the first half outscoring SC 16-7, with him at QB. You guys acting like this cat is some stud...lol

Maybe. And maybe Sellers coughs up a couple fumbles or throws some picks.
They were very conservative with Ashford, out of necessity. Sellers was very loose with the football.

The relevance is flow of the game. LSU started to develop a run game. That helps both our offense and defense. We sustain drives on O, keeping their offense off the field. Also gives our defense rest. How that translat3s into points is unknown. But it’s not as simple as “If Sellers doesn’t get injured…” You’re trying way too hard to discount what actually transpired by creating hyperbolic alternative narratives.

How about it was 24-10 before he got injured.

He did have 2 turnovers in the first half
