Muschamp: "You're 2-4, and the negativity is amazing, but you just keep believing."

Muschamp says that AJ Turner has a knee sprain. Probably day-to-day right now he says. #Gamecocks

Muschamp: Run struggles were just not hitting the hole. Looking for the big run instead of getting 3-4 yards.

— David Cloninger (@DCPandC) November 5, 2016

Muschamp: Momentum of the game was the Fenton pick and then a 98-yard drive.

Muschamp on targeting: "It's the rub of the green … as someone in here used to say."
