South Carolina’s football team has the notch on its belt of winning its first two games away from home. That’s something that can be sold to recruits.

The Gamecocks are coming home the week, and that’s something the coaches can sell a lot more.

“It’s huge,” USC coach Will Muschamp said.

South Carolina’s first home game of the season, Saturday night against Kentucky, is a big chance to get recruits and their folks around campus for an unofficial visit. A gameday, both at the stadium and around town, is something a staff can sell, and Muschamp knows how vital it can be.
