South Carolina won a huge non-conference game Saturday over favored NC State.
Now the Gamecocks have some solid momentum before traveling to Missouri for their first conference game of the season. South Carolina coach Will Muschamp met with the media via phone Sunday night. As expected, there weren’t a lot of negatives he harped on.
Muschamp was very positive. He was especially high on one of his particular sophomore linebackers.

Brunson wasn’t the only bright spot, according to Muschamp. The offensive line got his attention as well.

He knows the challenge doesn’t get any easier next week in Columbia.
Muschamp hasn’t watched Mizzou’s tape from Week 1 yet. “I know they’re very explosive.”
