BLYTHEWOOD — True, most American males aren’t quite as physically effective at 70 as they were at 40, 50 or 60, at least not without prescription medication. Exceptions include reaching to pick up a check, though that’s more when the grandkids are in town and less with golf buddies.
There is no denying that Steve Spurrier is a senior citizen recruiting teenagers who weren’t alive when his Florida Gators won the 1996 national championship. South Carolina’s head football coach is older than Dabo Swinney (45) and Connor Shaw (23) combined.
But storylines about Spurrier nearing the end of his career just because he is one of the few major college coaches born during World War II are as off-target as a Tennessee Titans forward pass.
