South Carolina’s players and fans came away from last year’s drubbing by Clemson with lots of emotions. For Alan Knott and the Gamecocks offensive line, one stood out above all the others.
“We were angry,” the senior center said. “We weren’t prepared I don’t think. I don’t think we came into the game with the tenacity that we needed to. I don’t think we were ready to go in there and play a game. Our minds weren’t focused on the right things, but this year we will be where we need to be.”
They will have to be.
