I'm still having a hard time finding answers for Saturday

First, let me say NO, I don't think Steve Spurrier is doing a bad job at South Carolina.
But if Clemson, Georgia or any other team was playing like SC is now, I'd be all over them with the idea that the party was over for Bowden, Richt...etc....
With SC, it's four days since the offensive meltdown versus Vandy, and the answers are getting more difficult to come by. The way the team is playing and the patterns are just inexplicable.
How is it that Spurrier took a 2005 team that had been taught little discipline and riddled with dismissals and beat Tennessee and Florida?
How can SC begin to stumble and end a 9-1 streak the way it did to Vandy after Spurrier has been on the job for three years?
I know upsets happen, but when you look at the deepening of the problems, why does this team seem to decline as the year wears on. With Spurrier, SC fans are just not used to that.
One reason given: the team is young. But if you use that one, how do you account for the fact that the defense, where just about all of the freshman play, has performed well enough to win all the games played this year?
Another reason given: no talent at O-Line. But we have been told we have the best talent at O-line since Spurrier got here.
Another reason given: We have a RS freshman QB. It's game nine, so he is not a freshman anymore. Neither are the new WRs. And, why is the fifth-year senior QB on the bench? We've been told to look at other college football powers to observe how many RS seniors play elsewhere. And we've been told we'd be good when we had RS seniors starting. So why do ours play so poorly we we bench them?
Is it the OL coach? Why have we let go of other coaches, yet the problem at this position persists with no change being made?
It was a "bad day" is a reason given: but how can you play like you did in the second half versus UNC and then claim another "bad day" a week later?
I think what makes the whole thing harder is the negative direction of the team. and it could not come at a worse time.
Most of us were relieved to get to Vandy while SC was 6-1. We figured we escaped the lighter part of the schedule and were allowed to grow up to be in a strong position for the critical stretch run.
But if you're like me, I just have no confidence SC can beat Tennessee.
Could Vandy have been a "wake-up" call? Yes, but the same should have the case with UNC.
The conclusion: I'm left here with a lot of questions and wondering if SC can win another game.
And what's scary, Spurrier is now talking about the 2008 season and "competing" (a term worn out by Brad Scott.) not winning the SEC East.
I know no one is obligated to work to soothe my concerns, but I'm just not getting a good feel for the SC football predicament right now. It just makes no sense.
I hope I'm wrong, and a spirited performance and a win in Knoxville can turn it all around.
But as a Gamecock fan, who has seen this sort of thing before, it's just difficult to fathom with Spurrier at the helm.
