-Eye discipline will be key for the Gamecock defense on Saturday, Muschamp says Wofford throws a lot at you.
-Possessions will be limited to about 8-10 during the game. Coach mentions the need to be aggressive but also taking care of the football.
Segment Four:
-The last 10 years, no one talks about how to cover the dive, the QB, or the pitch.
-Coach's prep players on how to cover the first ball carrier to come your way, regardless of who it is.
-Under center about 30% of time, and in shotgun for the other part.
-Muschamp says his team is prepared for all of those looks.
-Shi Smith does a good job with the ball in his hand, but Muschamp says he's not gonna give away his game-plan concerning Smith on the jet sweep.
-Wofford's defense does a great job with an odd structure, dropping 8 but limiting teams in the run game.
Segment Five:
-Muschamp says after the interceptions, no one is harder on Jake Bentley than himself.
-On team's readiness for the option: Plan on attacking, making reads on the run and playing assignment football.
-Defensively, 4th down conversion attempts will be high for Terriers. Important for the defense to get the ball back to the offense as quickly as possible.
-Keys to victory: Eye discipline on defense. Offense needs to be aggressive but careful with the football.
-Special Teams: Take advantage of special teams with senior Chris Lammons on punt returns.
-Allowing Hayden Hurst to participate in Senior Day activities was for his family. All 12 will be recognized before the game, and with a video made by Justin King on Friday night.
-Coach Muschamp praises the senior's efforts in buying in and believing in his staff's message.
-Fanbase makes such a difference in recruiting, noting how many recruits and recruit's families mentioned the positivety of the fanbase.
