CAROLINA CALLS NOTES: QB Ryan Hilinski, “He’s fine. He’ll start the game, and he’ll play well,” Muschamp said
Oct. 17, 2019
The final injury update is good for the South Carolina Gamecocks and Will Muschamp.
The Gamecocks coach announced his starting quarterback, Ryan Hilinski, will play this weekend after sustaining a bad-looking knee sprain against Georgia. He’ll lead the Gamecocks against another Top-10 foe in the Florida Gators.
Muschamp said. “He’s fine. He’ll start the game, and he’ll play well."
The coach said Hilinski was limited in Tuesday practice but took every snap on Wednesday and Thursday.
Other injuries Muschamp mentioned included:
▪ Joyner is still sore dealing with a hamstring that’s been nagging. That said, he took all his snaps in practice.
▪ Defensive lineman Keir Thomas, who has missed all season after an ankle infection, could be a week away from returning to practice. Muschamp said Thomas, who started most of 2017 and 2018, is moving around well. That said, they don’t want to rush him. There was some discussion of redshirting the Miami product, but at this rate, he’d need to sit the next three games for that to happen.
▪ Starting right tackle Dylan Wonnum is still a few weeks away from a return after an ankle injury against Missouri. He missed the past two games and a bye week.
