Gamecock's Spurrier, Rips the OL a New and Large one to Boot...Ouch

Spurrier was asked about the struggles of the offensive line, and made it perfectly clear that he wasn't pleased with the level at which their performing.

"Maybe we just can't block guys well enough to allow our quarterbacks to stand back there a long time. We're stuck with what we got," Spurrier said as his offensive line coach presumably winced, especially after the coach seemed to question the competence of his own assistant by praising one from another school.

"Those Auburn guys played pretty well. Their guys could block. I don't know who their line coach is, but he's a hell of a coach."

"When losing begins to hurt these guys as much as it hurts some of us, we'll have a good team here at South Carolina," the coach said. "But I'm not convinced losing hurts these guys much, or else they'd play better. They would really play their assignments and play better. They're either not smart enough to play or losing doesn't hurt, one or the other because they're big, strong guys."

"Our line looks pretty good running out there. They look pretty good and then the ball is snapped and sometimes we just don't compete hard enough. But they're our guys and we're going to try to get them to play better."
