COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Will Muschamp isnt worried about what did or didnt happen at his only other head coaching stop. Everything the new coach does is all about South Carolina.I dont know that previous stops affect anything, said Muschamp, hired last December to revive Steve Spurriers once dominant program. Im excited to be here. Weve hired an outstanding staff and I really like the buy in and work ethic of our players.Muschamp probably doesnt want to spend too much time thinking about his four seasons at Florida from 2011-14. He led the Gators to an 11-2 mark and seemed headed to bigger things, like national champion Florida coaches Spurrier and Urban Meyer. Instead, the Gators imploded the next two years and Muschamp was let go before the 2014 season ended.A big reason things went awry was Muschamps reliance on a strong defense and a ground-first attack.This time around, Muschamp said hell let the Gamecocks strengths dictate their style. He wont force a round peg in a square hole or make a team light at running back grind things out when there are several fast, strong receivers around.Its not about what you know as a coach or what you scheme and what you think your players can do, its about what they can do, Muschamp said. I think thats something in camp, especially with some younger players on both sides of the ball, were going to have to make some decisions early on about what we can do.The decisions for Muschamp include quarterback, where former walk-on Perry Orth, who started eight games last season, and freshman Brandon McIlwain, duel for the job. Orth has experience, but McIlwain is a rising prospect who enrolled early to go through spring workouts.Muschamp is eager for that to play out as he prepares for the season.The goal really is on September first to be fresh, fast and physical, he said.---QB QUESTIONS: The Gamecocks were a mess at quarterback last year (three starters in the first four games) and things might not get much better. Last years starter after fall camp, Connor Mitch, transferred after getting hurt. Perry Orth started six games, but was inconsistent. Look for freshmen Brandon McIlwain or Jake Bentley to get long looks. McIlwain is a two-sport star (he was considered a high-round MLB draft prospect) with a strong arm and solid grasp of the offense. Bentley had an offer from Alabama, but chose to follow his father, South Carolina running backs coach Bobby Bentley. Lorenzo Nunez will work mostly at receiver, but Muschamp says will have a hand in the quarterback race.WHERES SPURRIER? South Carolina fans accustomed to Steve Spurrier might have to wait until a November trip to The Swamp to see their former coach. Spurrier stunned fans last October when he quit in midseason, then shocked them again last month when he gave up his $100,000 school ambassadors job for a similar role with his alma mater, Florida. Spurrier said he just wanted to go back to Gainesville.KEY GAMES: It starts in a hurry with road games at Vanderbilt and Mississippi State the first two weeks. Start 0-2 and watch fans paint Muschamp as unprepared and inadequate.SEASON OPENER: South Carolina has won seven straight over Vanderbilt, but has lost its past five SEC road games. If the Commodores show up with an improved defense, the Gamecocks untested attack could get stuck in the mud.PREDICTION: South Carolina wont be favored against any of its nine Power Five opponents and a second-straight three-win season seems likely.---College football website: collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping .

SAN FRANCISCO -- In the eighth inning Saturday, Chris Davis connected for one of the fastest, fiercest home runs to clear the fences that anyone can remember at AT&T Park. San Francisco closer Sergio Romo then found himself staring at the majors home run leader an inning later with the tying run at first. Romo retired Davis on a game-ending groundout, and solid pitching wasnt wasted this time as the Giants held on for a 3-2 win against the Baltimore Orioles after Hunter Pences go-ahead, two-run double in the sixth inning Saturday. "Thats what this game is all about: the best in the world versus the best in the world," Pence said of the Romo-Davis matchup. "Hes having a really remarkable season and hes definitely locked in. That was an exciting at-bat. Romo got the job done, which was really crucial for us." San Franciscos stagnant lineup finally got to Wei-Yin Chen on Saturday -- and Romo then kept Davis down in the final inning following his 42nd home run leading off the eighth against Santiago Casilla. The drive high into the seats in right-centre was thought to be one of the farthest in Davis career. "Really? Wow. Not quite enough," he said. "Any time you have runners on, especially with our lineup, you expect somebody to come through with a big hit, but their pitchers made pitches and they made plays." Nick Markakis added three hits, but Baltimore had its three-game winning streak snapped on a day of missed opportunities. Guillermo Moscoso (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the win. The Orioles left the bases loaded in the second. Adam Jones hit a sacrifice fly in the third, but Baltimore stranded a runner at third. The Orioles squandered chances again in the sixth, eighth and ninth. Baltimore manager Buck Showalter was unhappy with the strike zone -- for both sides. "I thought (Chad Gaudin) deserved a little better fate, too," Showalter said. "We had some good situations. We just didnt cash the ticket." After Brandon Belt singled with two outs in the first, Chen (6-5) retired the next 13 batters before Andres Torres leadoff single in the sixth. He was sacrificed to second and Marco Scutaro followed with a tying single..ddddddddddddBelt doubled one out later and Buster Posey drew an intentional walk, bringing up Pence. "Its nice to get a hit when youve got the opportunity in a big situation. Its nice to get a ball to fall," Pence said. Thats been a tough chore in so many close games this season. Belt, who has retooled his swing several times the past two seasons, had two hits. He homered in each of his previous two games. "We got the hit weve been looking for," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Its the type of hit that wins ballgames for you and has been missing. Its good to get those timely hits. You hope guys relax a little bit and start having more fun." Gaudin struck out six in five innings for the Giants, working out of several jams. Casilla struck out Ryan Flaherty and pinch-hitter Matt Wieters with two runners on to end the eighth. Romo earned his 27th save in 31 chances as the Giants won at AT&T Park for only the third time in their last 10 home games. They dropped the series opener in 10 innings Friday. Romo didnt back down from Davis. "I trust my stuff. Everybody here believes in my ability to get hitters out," Romo said. "Its just a win that we needed, and I just happened to be able to get him out to end it." Posey, the reigning NL MVP and batting champion, started and caught in a day game after a night game -- not often his routine. Manager Bruce Bochy said the off-day Monday factored into the decision, as well as a recent day to rest. NOTES: Orioles RHP Jason Hammel, who received a cortisone shot Friday for right forearm tightness, believes he will soon be ready to pitch again, though he isnt going to come off the disabled list Tuesday when eligible.
