South Carolina offensive line coach Shawn Elliott has seen the video and doesn’t buy it.
During Saturday’s win over Furman, ESPN analyst Matt Stinchcomb said All-American senior guard A.J. Cann is tipping plays before the snap, using his right hand for stability when the play’s to the right and his left hand to other side.
Elliott responded to Stinchcomb’s film breakdown after Wednesday’s practice according to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C.:
