South Carolina football is practicing at a time of year it hoped to. But the Gamecocks are not practicing for the game they hoped to play in.
As with every season, Will Muschamp’s squad was hoping to spend the last week of the season in preparation for the SEC championship game in Atlanta. Instead it’s a noon home game against Akron, making up an earlier game lost to a hurricane.
But there is message to take in: Get used to practicing this week because the plan is to do it in 2019.
