Canceling South Carolina’s game against Marshall “was absolutely the right decision,” Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp said.
“I have been through several hurricanes. It’s nothing to play with,” Muschamp said Thursday night on his weekly “Carolina Calls” radio show. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the people on the coast right now.”
If the South Carolina had played the game, the Gamecocks would not have used the hotel rooms they usually stay in Friday night in order to free those up for people evacuating the coast. Saturday night’s game was canceled due to the potential impact of Hurricane Florence.
