| The South Carolina football team practiced Friday afternoon on the practice fields. USC cancelled the practice after an hour due to reported lightening in the area.
USC will practice again on Monday, April 11 before holding another scrimmage at Williams-Brice Stadium on Wednesday, April 13 at 5 pm. The scrimmage is open to the public. Following are comments from head coach Steve Spurrier: "The quarterbacks threw the ball for an hour in the stadium before we went out on the practice field (3-4 pm). We had some good throws and some bad throws. We have a long way to go, but we have a lot of time. Blake Mitchell and Antonio Heffner have stepped ahead. The quarterbacks are on progress, but they need a lot of work. If there was a clear cut guy we'd say he's our quarterback and he'd be No. 1 all summer. But that isn't the case right now. "We got a decent amount of stuff done today. We may have saved somebody from getting hurt. "In the scrimmage on Wednesday we saw (on film) the pass protection was ugly and the run blocking wasn't pretty either. Maybe they don't know their assignments as well as they should. If they block their assignments, we could make the plays. I have been pleased with the defense. There are a lot of guys doing well. "As far as the depth chart (coming out of spring practice), we will know who's starting when we start practice (in August), but we won't know all the starters for our first game. If we haven't named a No. 1 quarterback by then, then it will probably be the week before the season starts." |

| The USC football team practiced Tuesday afternoon under blue skies on the USC practice fields and at Williams-Brice Stadium. The team will scrimmage on Wednes., April 6 at 4:30 pm in Williams-Brice Stadium. The scrimmage is open to the public.
Coach Spurrier commented on the practice afterwards: "Today we played with no rush on the quarterback. We designed practice today to see if the quarterbacks could get open. Blake Mitchell did well. He threw a few nice passes. The quarterbacks are doing what we ask them to do. We played a little no huddle today and we will see how it goes. Blake was the best today. If we had to play tomorrow he would start - he came into today as the No. 3 quarterback and leaves No. 1 today. He has pretty good mechanics. He can make all the throws, he just has to make himself. He will have receivers here to throw to all summer and we have a room for him to watch tape. "Tomorrow we will turn them loose again. The scrimmage will be very similar to Saturday's scrimmage, but we'll get 60-70 plays in tomorrow. Sidney Rice has been very impressive. The ball sticks in his hands. Kris Clark has a quick step and so does Travis Lee (injured) when we get him back. Syvelle Newton is coming around. |
