South Carolina quarterbacks coach Dan Werner is the only new coach on the Gamecocks staff this year, and he likes what sees through the first week of fall practice.
“I see a lot of weapons,” Werner said. “I look at it, our offensive line is solid, I look at the quarterbacks and I’m happy with them. We have big-time receivers, the running backs are good, the tight ends. ... Our job now as coaches is to get those guys the ball, and I think with this scheme, we are going to be able to do that.”
Werner and first-year offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon have worked together to add more hurry-up elements and more extensive up of run-pass option plays to this year’s offense.
