South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier
Opening Statement
We're geting ready to go to Nashville and play Vanderbilt. Big game, conference game, SEC game on ESPN, national TV. They're really fired up in Nashville - their team, players and city. They have a lot of enthusiasm over Vanderbilt football now. Our guys realize that this is a big game for us; about the same as the Georgia or Tennessee game. Eastern division conference rivals. Hopefully we're ready to play well. I think we are. Only time will tell. The word out of Vanderbilt is they're ready to play very well. We know that. We have absolutely no excuses if we don't play well. We've had a lot of practices and we're pretty much injury-free. Akeem (Auguste) won't be able to play. Shon Carson, both those players didn't play last year but we expected them to play this year. Other than that most of our guys are ready to go. We're looking forward to it, and we'll see what happens Thursday night. (more)
