An elated Will Muschamp was interviewed by ESPN following the game, and Muschamp paid tribute to the South Carolina fans.
“They’ve been nothing but positive, and they’ve stuck with us,” Muschamp said.

The Gamecocks pulled a big upset over Tennessee 24-21 Saturday night in Columbia, and it’s another big building block for Muschamp and his coaching staff.
Freshman QB Jake Bentley has been a huge breath of fresh air, and his fire and energy is refreshing … not to mention his play. Bentley tossed two touchdowns Saturday night.
Here’s what Will Muschamp said during his post-game press conference:
Will Muschamp: "We're a different team at home."

Muschamp: "I'm glad we got the guys we got."

Muschamp: "Chris (Lammons) made a mistake. Got to keep your cool in those situations."

Muschamp has preached about winning now. Acknowledges that having this kind of result makes it a lot easier to preach that message.

Muschamp: "We've improved. We're nowhere near where we need to be."

The guy deserves a ton of credit. He needs to finish right and get SC to a bowl game. I suspect he will.
Have to beat Mizzou and win our next OOC game (WCU). Think it is entirely do-able, but can not play soft against Mizzou based off their record.
Mizzou’s been all over the place. Gave Georgia a serious run for their money, but dropped games to several cupcakes. We can’t take them for granted, but we’ll have the Willy-B advantage again next week, and this amazing kid (who, according to ESPN announcers, should be high school) finally playing QB.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if we beat Mizzou handily but then had another Citadel repeat against WCU. But dear god I hope that doesn’t happen
Muschamp doesn’t play soft. He doesn’t always play smart, but he will have this team motivated for the finish.
One thing I will say about this Muschamp, it seems like he is finally letting the OC call plays.
With us, his primary focus was ball control and he never let our various OCs doing anything. We had three different OCs and yet they all seemed to love the dive play, go figure.
Great job with the win y’all!
Very proud of the young Bentley. Im seeing streaks of Connor Shaw in his running and awareness. Bentley has a much better arm than Connor.
Here’s to a possible bowl.
