USC Coach Will Muschamp talked on Tuesday about coming back from an emotional Thanksgiving weekend loss against Clemson and being more prepared for the final game of the season Saturday against Akron.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I found out that we were gonna get the game, we got all their film from this year. It\u2019s the same operation that we always have. We didn\u2019t have any summer work on Akron cause that\u2019s normally when we do the foundation of our game plans. But we\u2019ve got all the film we normally have at every game,\u201d Muschamp said.<\/p>\n
He said his team players will be fully prepared by Saturday, although he wants them to get into the right mindset for the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery game is a mindset game. You got to have the right mindset, the right energy, the right focus, the right effort, toughness and discipline on Saturday afternoon at noon,\u201d Muschamp said.<\/p>\n
Even though it was hard to game plan with limited time, Muschamp and his team found a way to get through it.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust familiarize yourself with the personnel a little bit, and this time of the year there\u2019s not a lot of new things you\u2019re gonna see. I mean people do what they do, they have a couple wrinkles here and there. You face that every week. That\u2019s part of it,\u201d Muschamp said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hopes for the return of injured Jaycee Horn to play in Saturday\u2019s upcoming game, and AJ Turner for the opportunity to play on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cJaycee Horn was in a boot today but still may get him for Saturday. We\u2019ll see how that goes,\u201d Muschamp said.<\/p>\n
The final game of the season for the Gamecocks will be held Saturday at Williams Brice Stadium at noon.<\/p>\n
