COLUMBIA — Turned out, T.J. Holloman started at middle linebacker for South Carolina after all. And Steve Spurrier was glad to see it.
The Gamecocks head coach appeared to question the lineup change on his weekly radio program Thursday night, given that the move also entailed moving All-SEC candidate Skai Moore from middle to weak-side linebacker. But Holloman and Moore started in those respective spots Saturday, and it was hard to argue with the result — two interceptions for Holloman, nine tackles for Moore, and a 31-14 victory over Central Florida.
“We both have a lot of knowledge about the scheme,” said Holloman, who added six tackles.
