South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp has a Sunday morning meeting with his offensive and defensive coordinator after every game of the season.
“The first thing (offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon) said when he walked in was, ‘I need to be more hard-headed in the run game. We needed to stay more with the run in the second quarter,’” Muschamp said.
The Gamecocks (1-1) play Marshall (2-0) on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. The coaches and players say they have turned their full attention to that game, but that didn’t happen until after the requisite soul-searching that comes with an embarrassing loss, much of it this week focused on their first-year offensive coordinator.
