The week in quotes

... “You go one game at a time, but you also look down the road. ‘OK, after this one, we have to get ready for these guys. After LSU, we know Florida is down the road, we know Tennessee is down the road.’ If we are going to have a really big year our only chance is for our team to really be prepared to play.” “We are only halfway through, and all kind of bad stuff can still happen to a lot of teams. We certainly like where we are right now, but hopefully we are smart enough to know it’s still a difficult, difficult road for us.” – Steve Spurrier

... “We’ll look a little different out there Saturday night. Our players like them. To me, whatever the players want to wear. We’re just wearing them one game this year.” – Spurrier on the grey “Battle” uniforms the Gamecocks have been given by Under Armour to wear Saturday

... “I did not now that, but yeah now that you told me it gives us something to shoot for. We will work extra hard now in practice.” – Ace Sanders on needing 100 yards to set the school’s single-season record for punt return yardage

... “We are getting some national attention. That’s what we all like, but it can turn south on you if you don’t watch it. We’re just trying to guard against going south and we’re totally ready to play this week. This is a good team. This a team that could do some stuff, but we’ve got a lot of good teams to play in the next four weeks. We’ll try to do our best and see what happens.” -- Spurrier
