South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp is “very confident” the Gamecocks will be playing a football game on Dec. 1 and have told their players to expect that.
“I’m very confident we will be playing Dec. 1. I don’t know against who,” Muschamp said Tuesday. “That’s (athletic director Ray) Tanner, and I’ll let him handle that.”
The Gamecocks scheduled Sept. 15 game against Marshall was canceled due to the potential impact of Hurricane Florence. South Carolina will have a schedule availability on Dec. 1 unless it qualifies for the SEC Championship Game, which is a long-shot considering the Gamecocks are 3-3 overall and 2-3 in the SEC heading into Saturday’s game against Tennessee.
