As questions linger about Hurricane Florence’s impact on South Carolina’s football game against Marshall at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, there’s another effect on the Gamecocks.
The effect on the players’ families.
A large group of current USC players hail from Charleston, which is on the edge of the latest forecasts, and a few, notably wide receiver Bryan Edwards and guard Donell Stanley, are from Myrtle Beach or the Pee Dee, which are closer to the current path. That’s not to mention players from North Carolina.
Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said the school is already putting forward efforts to get families of the players evacuated.
