South Carolina’s football team saw at least one player who didn’t practice Wednesday in full uniform Thursday during an open portion of practice before the Outback Bowl against Michigan. But another key player was out of pads in in the yellow non-contact jersey.
Tailback Rico Dowdle, who missed South Carolina’s final five regular season games with a fractured bone in his leg, was in yellow Thursday, a day after being in uniform and lining up as the No. 1 running back in some drills.
Offensive guard Donell Stanley started the practice in pads, but after three periods, he was seen out of uniform.
