NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) β Steve Spurrier has a chance for his 202nd win as a head coach in the Southeastern Conference when his 14th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks visit Vanderbilt on Saturday night.
Derek Mason just got his first at Vanderbilt, needing a missed 22-yard field goal before the celebration began.
A win in the Gamecocks’ first road game this season would push Spurrier out of a tie in the SEC with former Georgia coach Vince Dooley and into sole possession of second behind only Paul “Bear” Bryant. Yet Spurrier is trying to keep his Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1) from getting too confident after edging Georgia last week with a handful of lucky breaks in a 38-35 win.
Spurrier says his Gamecocks have a lot of room for improvement if they are to have a chance at a big year.
