South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp shared an essential truth about players following Saturday’s 49-9 win against Chattanooga. All freshmen, even the ones redshirting, think they’re ready to play.
“They all think they are, until they get out there and realize maybe they’re not,” Muschamp said.
Tailback Deshaun Fenwick was no different in thinking that, and after sitting behind a glut of backs most of the year, he looked plenty ready when the chance came.
Fenwick’s first carry went for 19 yards, his next for 7. By game’s end, he had four carries for 11 or more yards, including a 37-yarder.
