So why wasn't he "mentally" tougher to start EVERY game? Give me a break Spurrier, your team has issues and your pulling a political "flip-flop" for this game.

Why doesn't he give Steven Garcia a chance? The guy might be different from typical Spurrier QB's but compared to Smelley and Beecher he can actually play.

Since watching Spurrier and the 2 QB (or 3) system the past two years I have noticed something very important. Last season, the TEAM played better with Smelley than with Mitchell. This year the TEAM has been playing better with Garcia. I think its time for Spurrier to wake up and really watch the games he has been coaching. If it is obvious to an upper deck fan, it should be obvious to the HBC.

I am so sick of Steve Spurrier that as a Lifelong Gamecock Fan, he needs to just go away. Against UAB, the Gamecocks only moved the ball when Garcia was in. Hello "Ol Ball Coach" time to stuff that 1966 QB ego up your rear!!

Have faith. Smelly played well against Georgia for a half at least. Believe me Garcia will play a lot if Smelly falls into his habits and throws a couple of floating picks in the first half. Personally I would like to see what Garcia can do as a starter, but right now he aint playing like Joe Montana either...I really don't have faith in either one right now, so I'll trust the coaches decision.

We've seen Smelly as a starter and know his capabilities! Garcia is the fan (and probably team) favorite, why not at least give him a shot? You can always pull him if things go sour! The fans want to see something different Coach! The status quo ain't it no mo!

Oh my SC fans have such short memories. Your team has been the door mat of the SEC for years. Holtz had some minor success back t back visits to orlando, WOW what an accomplishment. The old ball coach is the GREATEST thing to happen to columbia ever, well next to George Rodgers. But, please, you have a legitimate GREAT coach, so what he flip flops QB's. If you run Spurrier out of town, do to your ignorance, thinking your a top flight SEC power without Spurrier, good luck hiring the Saban's of this world. who know's maybe Fulmer will be interested in your said pathetic program. The **** do really mean something if you run Spurrier, get real **** fans.

He deserves to be the starter. 6-6 last year.

He's thrown too many picks this year.

Maybe, just maybe, if you could get Garcia to share his BEER withSmelly then he would become a Great Q B like MR. Garcia. Maybe give THE OLD BALL COACH a COOLONE.

He like SMELLEY to lead the GAMECOCKS

WOW! Garcia must have let Smelley have a 6-pack. And THE OLD BALL COACH must of had one. Good game. jerry

Maybe Garcia was too hung over. Those well drink specials pack a 2nd day wallop.
