The Gamecocks will rely on wide receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon to call plays during the Outback Bowl now that Kurt Roper has been relieved of his duties. McClendon has been on staff for two seasons. Here’s what you need to know about him:
Has he ever called plays? No.
Has he ever led a team in a bowl? Yes. He was the interim head coach for Georgia after Mark Richt was let go. He did not call plays in that game.
What kind of offensive background does he have?
