South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp will have a chance to lead his Gamecocks to a second consecutive bowl win in late December when they play in the just-announced Belk Bowl game against Virginia.
There are a lot of areas in which finishing the season with a victory can help a team. Some are important. Some are not, such as one Muschamp mentioned an hour after it was announced: the wardrobe.
“You get a bunch of bowl gear, and if you lose the game, you damn sure don’t want to wear any of it,” Muschamp said.
