Spurrier when asked if Mitch is still starting QB: “I think so.” — GamecockCentral.com (@GamecockCentral) September 4, 2015

Spurrier credits Sean Kelly. “You want me to brag on a punter, I’m bragging on ours.” Also had a tackle on the Kick-6 return.

Spurrier on Kelsey Grifin: We gave him a game ball. — GamecockCentral.com (@GamecockCentral) September 4, 2015

Spurrier: Skai can pick the ball off. When you play cover 2, that middle linebacker has to cover a lot ground and he has his eyes on the QB.

What did you learn in game one? Spurrier: “We have a long way to go.” — SportsFromMyEyes (@JTyree704) September 4, 2015

Spurrier doesn’t know what Mitch said for the taunting penalty. “He must have said something or the ref wouldn’t have called it.”
