Gamecocks have ‘a pretty good plan’ for QBs vs. Vanderbilt
A roundup of news and notes from Will Muschamp’s call-in show, held Tuesday night on 107.5 FM.
Muschamp: It's not a business trip. Business trips aren't fun. Playing football is fun, and the fun comes from winning.

Muschamp on the QBs: "We got a pretty good plan going into this thing. We have a very good feel for where we are." No names.

Muschamp: All QBs have a different talent level. Roper has tailored plays for each, along with a standard package all three can run.

Muschamp won't limit any QB that gets in the game. "We need them to play fast, and not think." Let them lean on the offensive vets.

Muschamp: Comfortable with all QBs being able to audible. "We've given full freedom" to get out of any look.

Muschamp: Roper controls the offense, although Muschamp wants to be on the same page with it, as well as defense and special teams.

Muschamp says Deebo and Bryan Edwards should start at outside receiver. Edwards is fine and ready to play Thursday.

Muschamp on Nunez at WR: He's learning. He's going to be really good before it's said and done.
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Nunez has never played anything but QB, but has a wonderful attitude about switching to WR. Staying healthy, at least.

Muschamp's biggest challenges: Unsettled at QB, youth at WR and RB. Depth at safety, CB, LB. "Those would be my biggest concerns."
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Muschamp on TJ Brunson: He'll play, primarily on special teams. Depends on the game if he plays at LB. "He's gonna be a fantastic player."
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Muschamp wants to rotate at least 10 among the four-man defensive front.
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Dexter Wideman doing fine, but behind Thomas, Smith. Blackshear behind due to losing strength, but will play this year.
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Muschamp again mentioning the tight ends. As the guys who have caught the most passes, they'll be crucial in the early season.
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
No further injuries than Dowdle, Denson, Bryant, Markway. Markway should be cleared for MSU next week.
— David Cloninger (@DCTheState) August 30, 2016
Mon Denson will probably be out 3-4 more weeks. He didn't tear his groin, but he came pretty close.
