The way things set up, this week could be taken as South Carolina football’s FCS appetizer to a big, orange Thanksgiving entrée a week later.
Some fans will see it this way. Surely some media will do the same.
Will Muschamp would have none of it.
“That’s one of the first things coach Muschamp said to us in our meeting” Tuesday, Gamecocks quarterback Jake Bentley said. “He didn’t want to hear a word about next week, or anything that’s involved with next week.”
That’s a strong approach, but it makes sense given the “letdown” spot the Gamecocks are in.
