South Carolina’s defense will face off with a freshman quarterback this week.
But against Clemson and Trevor Lawrence, that doesn’t help the Gamecocks much.
Lawrence was the No. 1 recruit in last year’s class, the one whose talent shined so bright, it was almost a forgone conclusion in the offseason he’d surpass a senior with a 12-2 record as a starter. After splitting reps, he took over the job and left quite an impression on Muschamp, who will have to try to slow him at 7 p.m. Saturday in Death Valley.
