For the third time in four seasons, weather will impact South Carolina’s football schedule, this time wiping a game completely off the schedule. The Gamecocks announced Wednesday afternoon that Saturday’s scheduled game against Marshall in Williams-Brice Stadium has been canceled due to the potential impact of Hurricane Florence.
“Whether or not the game could have been played, we made the decision we think is best for the state and those who are evacuating the coast,” athletics director Ray Tanner said in a statement released by the school. “There is no question this is the right thing to do and the decision was supported by (USC president Harris) Pastides, (head football coach Will) Muschamp, our Board members and myself.
