Shawn Elliott: "A couple plays here and there and it's a very different season for Tennessee." Says they are a good team.

Shawn Elliott: 'We can play better defensively. There are very easy adjustments that can be made. Simple, simple things.'

Elliott: "Texas A&M beat us. It wasn't us. I can assure you that. They called the plays they knew were going to be successful."

Elliott: Defensive improvement — "They're very aware of what needs to happen." Has sat in on a couple of defensive meetings.

Elliott: "Self-recognition of a formation and what somebody's trying to do with you."

Is fatigue from the long trips an issue? Elliott says "I don't think we're tired. We've had an odd season though." Feels like all away games

Elliott: Unusual for Moore to go to Hoke and ask for simplification? "No different than Wilds come up to us and say, 'Hey, this play here.'"
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 3, 2015
Elliott appreciates Moore's suggestion and has no problem with it. Players can see a lot more of what works than coaches sometimes.

Elliott: "You have to keep people off their toes. You can't be basic." #Gamecocks

Elliott: "There's a lot of things we'd like to get involved, Jerell Adams, Hayden (Hurst) … Pharoh only had four catches the other day."
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 3, 2015
Elliott: "(Tennessee) is the best special teams unit in our conference and maybe the country" #Gamecocks

Elliott: Berry is averaging 40 yards a return. "Who's kicking it to him? Why?"
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 3, 2015
Elliott has already talked to Landon Ard and told him to load up. Even end-zone kicks get brought out by Berry
