the sav st score isn't really what matters. the crisp execution and no "shoot yourself in the foot" false starts, multiple turnovers, or mental errors is what has me impressed. crazy that the one turnover on O this season came at the NC state 1 yard line when GS went under center for the first time all game and lost the center/QB exchange. no telling how many thousands of snaps ellison has taken under center. they punch in that score and they're up 28-10 and you could stick a fork in NC state. instead, state got a second wind.
i think we all remember the gardner-webb fiasco in '08. it's tough to break in a new coach and offense and you expect significant growing pains--especially early. so far, southern's taken to fritz, his staff, and this O like a duck to water. honestly, i'm shocked. sure, the wheels could come off saturday, i suppose.
on another note, i'm sure GS's scout team QB is former back up to jaybo, izzy youyoute, who knows quite a bit about running an option attack with speed. he made alabama look foolish a few plays. so, the GS D is seeing a fast QB who's well versed in this system this week at practice. many teams can't simulate the speed. southern can.
