South Carolina doesn’t expect to get Steven Montac back healthy in time for Saturday’s game against Kentucky, head coach Will Muschamp said Thursday night.
“Steven Montac it doesn’t look good right now, but it’ll be a game time decision,” Muschamp said on his weekly “Carolina Calls” radio show.
Montac, a reserve safety, has missed the first two games due to a foot injury. His absence means the Gamecocks secondary will be paper thin for the third time in as many games. The same five defensive backs – safeties D.J. Smith and Chris Lammons and cornerbacks Jamyest Williams, Rashad Fenton and Jamarcus King – played every snap of the Missouri game.
