Beyond the Box Score: the “streak-busting” edition

I’ve said it many times previously: games against Will Muschamp teams are weird and no fun. A defensive slug-fest is hardly as exciting as a first-to-60-shootout, and Muschamp offenses tend to be so incompetent that — no matter how poorly you play — you always feel like you have a shot at winning. Luckily, the Tigers finally did that on Saturday, giving Barry Odom his first win over the Gamecocks and his first victory in an SEC opening game. Cheers! It was super weird (especially that first quarter), and it wasn’t really all that fun until the end, but a win’s a win and it’s better to get to the bye week looking forward to our next matchup against Troy.
