South Carolina’s football team generally holds a practice on Sunday evening but skipped it last week because the team didn’t arrive home until after 2 a.m. from a night game in Lexington, Ky. When Will Muschamp stepped up to address his team at a Monday morning meeting, it was the first time he had spoken to them since the disappointing 24-10 loss to the Wildcats.
He had two choices in that moment.
No. 1, let his team have it, upbraiding the Gamecocks for an undisciplined and disjointed effort that changed the complexion of their season at least for now.
