34-0 Cocks; Wilson goes out with a concussion

I had a root canal performed about a month ago.

It felt a TON better than watching the South Carolina game, that's for sure.

I hate, hate, hate to go down this road...but damn if it didn't seem like the South Carolina defensive linemen were headhunting on Wilson. They took two questionable shots on Wilson early in the game, making helmet-to-helmet contact. Even Chris Fowler had to wonder at least once if the 'Cocks should've been flagged for leading with the helmet.

But after it looked like Wilson was getting comfortable leading the offense, with Andre Brown making headway on the ground, Wilson would take yet another blow to the helmet that left the quarterback lying on the turf for what seemed like an eternity.

As his teammates prayed in silence, Wilson was carted off the field in what we would later find out was a grade 2 or grade 3 concussion.

After that, there was just no life left in the Pack.

Evans came in and absolutely stunk. There's no other way to put it. I thought he was better than what he showed tonight; perhaps Wilson's injury rattled him quite a bit.

Ugh. I just can't even seem to process how quickly things went from a 0-0 defensive grudgematch to a 34-0 bloodletting.

The defensive line looked solid holding the SC offense in check up front, winning battles along the line early, pressuring the quarterback enough to lead to four interceptions.

But again, Wilson's injury just completely devastated this team, mentally. Credit SC for taking the game from that point; Spurrier knows when blood's in the water, and he got after it when State was clearly shaken.

So now it's time to regroup, prepare for William and Mary and pray that Wilson can return and bring some life back to a team that was lifeless without him.
