Questions Stll Unanswered

There's really not too many questions that could have been answered against the Buccaneers of Charleston Southern. But last night ended pretty much how it started.

The receiving corps still seems to be shaky. Outside of Riley Cooper, there really wasn't much to speak of in terms of receiver production. On consecutive plays, Deonte Thompson was called for a false start and then dropped a sure touchdown pass. Brandon James also dropped a touchdown pass as he played the slot. At least Aaron Hernandez didn't disappoint. Hernandez showed why he is considered one of the nation's best tight ends.

I don't know if it's Scott Loeffler's doing, but Tim Tebow looked extremely sharp last night. Tebow could have easily ended the night with 3 touchdowns if Thomson and James could have made their respective catches. The only throw that was off target was Tebow's first deep pass to Riley Cooper. Cooper had to adjust to the under thrown ball. Otherwise, Coop could have had himself a touchdown.

The running game was on point. Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey dazzled once again. Manny Moody made some spectacular runs as well. Even Mike Gillislee showed what he is capable of.

I would ;ole to say that we should learn more against Troy next week, but the Trojans were embarrassed by Bowling Green this week. We may have to wait until the Tennessee game to know what these Gators are all about.

Riley Cooper - White Receiver

Cooper showed up in a big way last night. Coop maneged to amass 105 yards receiving on just 5 catches. There was a stretch when Tebow connected with Riley on 3 straight plays. This was vomit inducing to the Charleston Southern secondary as well as to Cooper, who was seen throwing up while coming off the field. Hopefully next week, Mr. Cooper with have some help.
