Will Muschamp excited for first South Carolina home night game since early 2015

Saturday night will represent a first for South Carolina coach Will Muschamp.

When the Gamecocks host No. 18 Tennessee at 7:15 p.m. ET in Williams-Brice Stadium, it will mark Muschamp’s first night game at the helm of the program. In fact, it’ll be South Carolina’s first night home game since Week 2 of last season, a 26-22 loss to Kentucky.

This is the first night game at USC since the UK game in week two of last year.

Muschamp, for one, is certainly excited about the electric environment Columbia will surely provide Saturday night.

Will Muschamp: "Certainly looking forward to having a night game at Williams-Brice Stadium, like we used to around here."

The game will be a crucial one for the Volunteers (5-2, 2-2), who are trying to keep pace with Florida in the SEC East race. Muschamp and the Gamecocks, on the other hand, are seeking a signature win in the first year of his tenure.
