Breitmann Tuning » out what the young quarterback brings to the offe

The way Harry Taylor sees it, the fact he still gets nervous in the buildup to big AFL matches is a good thing.If and when that stops happening, it will likely be time for the Geelong backman to give it away.Friday nights preliminary final against Sydney will be Taylors 20th playoff match in the blue and white hoops.Only 10 Geelong players have participated in more finals, a select group that includes current teammates Jimmy Bartel, Corey Enright, Andrew Mackie and Joel Selwood.The 30-year-old Taylor debuted for the Cats eight years ago - a year after their drought-breaking 2007 flag - before going on to become a a key member of the 2009 and 2011 premiership teams.But he is no danger of ever becoming blase about the September action.I still get nervous before games, he said on Monday.I spoke a bit earlier in the year about nerves, about how it can be a good thing.Nerves are a sign that youre going to care about what youre going to be doing, theyre a sign that youre passionate about what youre going to be doing.I still get that nervous feeling.The day when I dont get nervous is probably the day when I ask myself if this is what I should be doing.I love the footy club, I love playing in big games and this is the best time of year to be alive and be a Geelong footy player.Matt Ioannidis Jersey .

McIlwains impact has continued, so far, on the football field his first season.The young quarterback led the Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) to a 20-15 victory over pesky East Carolina last week in his first start and will look to equal South Carolinas victory total from last year when he opens at Kentucky (1-2, 0-1) on Saturday.McIlwain was one of new coach Will Muschamps top recruits last season, turning down offers from Miami, Ohio State and Tennessee among others. He graduated high school a semester early and enrolled at South Carolina in January.He came in worked hard, center Alan Knott said. He busted his butt in the weight room. He busted his butt in the film room and that showed a big thing for us.McIlwain split first-team reps with returning starter Perry Orth throughout spring and summer workouts. The 6-foot, 205-pound McIlwain looked lost two weeks ago at Vanderbilt, with Orth getting the call in the second half and rallying the Gamecocks from a 10-point deficit to a 13-10 victory.The next week, it was McIlwains turn to attempt to lead the Gamecocks out of a 24-0 hole at Mississippi State. While South Carolina did not win, McIlwain led the team on two touchdown drives in the 27-14 defeat and earned the chance to start against East Carolina.McIlwain played solidly and without mistakes, completing 16 of 28 passes for 195 yards and zero interceptions. He had scoring runs of 9 and 10 yards as South Carolina took a 14-0 lead and held on against the Pirates, who had entered with wins in six of their previous games with Power Five schools.Knott, a junior, said McIlwain has commanded the offense so far with his poise and leadership.I think hes handled it tremendously well and I think hes got a big future in front of him, Knott said.McIlwain has his mistakes to clean up, Muschamp said. The cooach, though, is pleased with McIlwains throws and his knowledge of the offense.ddddddddddddIt is no different than any other player or positon, Muschamp said. Just continue taking the reps, taking the coaching and doing the things you need to do to be successful.Part of that process, for Muschamp, is keeping McIlwains head focused on the field. Muschamp does not permit freshmen to talk with media, although the coach said the possibility of that changing is day to day.Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks Kurt Roper also has not spoken to reporters since the season began.Right now I just think (McIlwain) has a lot on his plate. He needs to worry about being the quarterback at South Carolina, Muschamp said. Thats the most important thing, along with him playing well for his teammates.McIlwains teammates are excited about what the young quarterback brings to the offense.South Carolina tight end K.C. Crosby said McIlwains accuracy and strong throws were evident in the spring and throughout summer drills. Each series McIlwain seems to gain a better grasp of the Gamecocks attack.Thats just Brandon. Hes going to make sure he takes authority of the situation and take his next game to the next level, Crosby saidKentucky coach Mark Stoops sees South Carolina improving the more McIlwain plays.,I can tell theyre gaining a little confidence and continuity in what theyre doing with him and some of the problems that he presents and some of his strengths, Stoops said. Theyre going to get nothing but better offensively.Crosby believes McIlwains running skills and ability to lead a fast-paced offense will lead to good things for the Gamecocks.The Gamecocks tight end said, Were not where we want to be, but were making steps to where we need to be.---AP College Football writer: www.collegefootball.ap.orgCheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys [url=http://www.nbajerseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
