Handshake Gate has, hopefully, ended for good now that Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp said the incident “never should have happened” at his Sunday teleconference.
For a refresher, prior to kickoff Saturday night, UK sent out captains Nick Haynes, Mike Edwards, Stephen Johnson and Courtney Love to midfield for the pregame handshake and coin toss.
However, SC captains Hayden Hurst, Deebo Samuel, D.J. Wonnum and D.J. Smith didn’t shake their hands.
Now, what led up to that and how the entire incident transpired.
