The weather in Charlotte wasn’t great on Friday, the eve of the Belk Bowl and end of South Carolina’s 2018 football season, but the Gamecocks still were happy not to be in Birmingham … or Shreveport.
“I went to the Birmingham Bowl,” South Carolina senior safety Steven Montac said. “I mean, no disrespect to Birmingham, it’s just not where you want to be. Last year, we went to Outback Bowl. This year, we’re here. We have definitely improved going from Birmingham being cold all day.”
The Gamecocks (7-5) will face Virginia (7-5) on Saturday in Bank of America Stadium at noon on ABC.
