2012 NFL Mock Draft (Final Version)

Here is the final version of my 2012 NFL Mock Draft, with all seven rounds.

I compiled this completely on my own, and any likeness to any of the real experts is purely coincidental.

Darrin Horn Fired After Four Seasons

University of South Carolina Athletics Director Eric Hyman has fired men’s basketball coach Darrin Horn. Hyman announced the firing at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Horn went 60-63 in four seasons with the Gamecocks.  The team’s 21 losses this season tied a school record.

“Credibility comes with competitive success,” said Hyman.  “I look back with Coach Horn and there’s a lot of tremendous accomplishments he has done at the University of South Carolina.”

“Unfortunately in this business you have to take your program in a different direction.  This is one of those days,” said Hyman.

Hyman said Horn will be given a $2.4 million buyout of the final three years of his contract.  Hyman also praised Horn’s academic success, character, and integrity of the program during Horn’s tenure.

Hyman said Horn understood the decision and “was disappointed and apologized for not doing better.”

Horn was not present at the press conference, but did issue a statement in a university release.

“First and foremost, I’d like to thank Eric Hyman, Dr. Pastides and the Board of Trustees for the opportunity I’ve had as the head men’s basketball coach at South Carolina for the past four years.  I appreciate the Gamecock Nation for its support of the program.  My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Columbia and wish nothing but the best for the Gamecocks.”

Horn led the Gamecocks to a 20-win season his first year, finishing tied for first in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Eastern Division, and losing in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) to Davidson.

Since the 2008-2009 season, the Gamecocks had losing seasons each year, finishing at or near the bottom of the SEC standings.

Hyman said he is launching a national search immediately to replace Horn.

Gamecocks Lead way in Capital One Bowl

South Carolina Gamecocks' WR Alshon Jeffery celebrates with teammates after defeating Nebraska 30-13 in the 2012 Capital One Bowl.

ORLANDO, FLA. – Alshon Jeffery, in what might be his final game at South Carolina, caught a hail mary to end the first half, picked up the game’s MVP award, to help the Gamecocks (11-2) defeat the Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-4).

The win secured an 11-win season for the first time in Gamecocks history, and all but assures a finish in the top-10 in the postseason polls.

QB Connor Shaw passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown.

“It is really neat that these seniors can say they played for the best team ever at South Carolina,” said South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier.

Nebraska got the scoring started in the first quarter, with a 30-yard touchdown pass to WR Kenny Bell from QB Taylor Martinez.

The extra point by Brett Maher was blocked and returned for two points by Stephon Gilmore, making a 6-2 Cornhuskers lead.

The Gamecocks followed that up with a touchdown drive of their own, capped off by a one yard run by QB Connor Shaw.

Nebraska countered with a one yard run from Ameer Abdullah out of wildcat formation, to re-take a 13-9 lead.

Then came the fireworks.  On a hail mary, Jeffery caught the ball and dove into the end zone for the touchdown, giving the Gamecocks a 16-13 lead heading to the half.

“The guys didn’t do what they coached to do, period, end of story,” said Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini.

Mid-way through the third quarter, Jeffery and CB Alonzo Dennard got into a fight, resulting in both players being ejected.  Both players are projected to be taken in the first two rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Both Spurrier and Jeffery said that Jeffery did not punch the guy, only shoved.  Spurrier added that Jeffery had never punched a guy before, and probably would not do it.

South Carolina iced the game in the fourth quarter with Kenny Miles’ first two touchdowns of the season.  First a nine yard reception, followed by a three yard run to finish the 30-13 victory.

Capital One Bowl Preview and Pick: Nebraska vs. South Carolina

ORLANDO, FLA. — This year’s Capital One Bowl features the South Carolina Gamecocks, looking for its first 11-win season, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, aiming for its third consecutive 10-win season.

The keys to this game will be running the ball, and stopping the run.

Nebraska is led by RB Rex Burkhead and QB Taylor Martinez.  Burkhead rushed for 1,268 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2011.  Martinez rushed for 837 yards and 9 touchdowns.  Martinez also passed for 1,973 yards with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

For Gamecocks’ fans who may have not followed Martinez, his skills are very much comparable to former QB Stephen Garcia.  Martinez has his great moments, but can also look overwhelmed and make poor decisions.

South Carolina’s rushing attack is much more diverse, since the dismissal of Garcia and the knee injury to Marcus Lattimore.

It starts with QB Connor Shaw, who is the team’s third leading rusher with 483 yards and seven touchdowns.  He passed for 1,218 yards with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Shaw brought consistency to the position following the ups and downs of Garcia.  He is a dual threat quarterback, making great plays running the ball, but surprising opponents with his passing ability.

Both Brandon Wilds and Kenny Miles expect to see time at running back Monday.  Wilds filled in admirably for Lattimore, rushing for 486 yards, but struggled against Clemson and was replaced by Miles.

It has been a banner year for the Gamecocks on defense, but they are without former assistant head coach Ellis Johnson, who is off to be the head coach at Southern Miss.  Seniors Melvin Ingram and Antonio Allen proved to be the key players all season long.

For Nebraska, you don’t have to pull out statistics or list players to talk about the ‘black shirt’ defense.  But for the purpose of looking informed, both Lavonte David and Alfonzo Dennard have been key members to Bo Pelini’s defense.

This game will come down to who wants it more.  In this scenario, you look to coaching, and the edge goes to Steve Spurrier.  He’s back in the state he has had so much success in, Florida, and is looking to get South Carolina its first 11-win season.

Gamecocks win this one, based on the diversity of its running game.  Expect a big day from Connor Shaw.  Gamecocks 27, Cornhuskers 21

Gamecocks Claim Third Consecutive State Championship

South Carolina takes down Clemson 34-13

The South Carolina Gamecocks (10-2) defeated the Clemson Tigers (9-3) 34-13 Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium, giving the Gamecocks the first three game winning streak in the series since the late 1960s.

Connor Shaw rushed for over 100 yards and three for three touchdowns in the rout of the Tigers.

The Gamecocks defense sacked Tigers’ QB Tajh Boyd five times, limiting him to 11-of-29 passing, for 83 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

“We were hoping to play our best game of the year and we probably did,” said Spurrier.  “Defense was sensational all night; great effort.  Offensively we did enough good things here and there to run for over 200 yards and pass for the exact (same) amount.  That’s sort of our formula for winning.”

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney was disappointed by the way his team played Saturday, especially ahead of next week’s ACC Championship Game.

“Everything is coaching.  It is on me, simple as that.  It starts with me,” said Swinney.  “I love my players, they practice hard, prepare hard.  We are not doing a very good job of coaching right now, and that is on me.”

In the first half, both teams played pretty evenly, however Clemson had a hard time containing Shaw.  That changed in the second half.

Another key in this game was the less-than-stellar play from Clemson WR Sammy Watkins.  Watkins finished the game with four receptions for 39 yards.

Gamecocks’ Assistant Head Coach Ellis Johnson said that he did not believe the speedy freshman phenom was healthy.

The Gamecocks were successful on two of the three keys from this afternoon’s show.

The Gamecocks did allow a few big plays on special teams, including a blocked punt and a long return.  Grade:  C-

The Gamecocks did a good job of getting pressure on Boyd, and forcing him to make plays.  Grade:  B

The biggest key was controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.  The Gamecocks were able to get lots of pressure on Boyd, and opened up big holes in the running game for both Kenny Miles and Shaw.  Grade:  A-

The Gamecocks now wait to find out which bowl they might go to (shameless plug:  we’ll post our bowl predictions tomorrow night), but it is looking more like the Cotton Bowl.

Clemson plays in the ACC Championship Game next week against Virginia Tech for a chance to go to the Orange Bowl.
