When most fans think of South Carolina tailback Deshaun Fenwick, the first thing that comes to mind was the way he ran all over a hapless Chattanooga team in his first collegiate action.
It was a strong debut considering how the staff had held him back, ensuring the 226-pound runner would get a redshirt season. But as his relative anonymity gave way to a 114-yard rushing performance, it overshadowed an area he admits he’d been lacking through most of the season.
Call it focus, attitude or approach.
“Last year, I probably played around a lot as a far as not being engaged every time I touch the ball, every time I’m on the field,” Fenwick said.
