South Carolina defensive back Israel Mukuamu (24). Gw51846
South Carolina football will get a few defenders back for its meeting with LSU.
There were a couple of significant pieces missing from the Gamecock secondary last weekend against Auburn. Everyone saw starting cornerback Israel Mukuamu in street clothes as he celebrated with teammate Jaycee Horn following his first career interception.
Mukuamu was a game time decision that was ultimately scratched due to a lingering groin issue. The strain has been bothering the junior since the Florida matchup in week two. Luckily for the Gamecocks, reserve John Dixon filled in admirably in Mukuamu’s place, as South Carolina harassed Auburn receivers all afternoon.
