South Carolina Football: Steve Spurrier weekly Tuesday press conference

The South Carolina Gamecocks take on the LSU Tigers presumably in Williams-Brice Stadium this Saturday. While the location and status of the game may be somewhat up in the air, the presence of Leonard Fournette is a given. Steve Spurrier discussed how the Gamecocks plan to slow down Fournette amongst other topics in his weekly gathering with the media.

Here are some highlights from the Week 6 press conference:

On the recent flooding in Columbia and surrounding areas:

Steve Spurrier: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the flood victims." Pulling for them. Appreciate the first responders.

Spurrier sent in a contribution to the Red Cross and hope that the others will do so as well.

On LSU running back Leonard Fournette:

Steve Spurrier: "I think it’s a little too early to (compare Fournette to Herschel and Bo). Certainly he could be."

Spurrier: Defensively -- "We'll do what every team tries to do when they play LSU. Hasn't really stopped them much yet."

Spurrier: Fournette -- "It's hard for a DB to tackle him. He's going for the goal line when he gets to the secondary."

On Lorenzo Nunez's development and play last week:

Lorenzo Nunez fell on his shoulder in the game and sprained it. Probably won't throw today, but should be good by Saturday.

Spurrier: "I don't know if I could do all the things we ask those quarterbacks do. It's a little more difficult than maybe it looks."

On any comparison's to the 2005 team that started 0-3 in the SEC:

HBC asked if this team reminds him of 2005 team that went from 0-3 to 5-3 SEC. "No, not really. I guess that’s not too encouraging words"

Preparations for LSU:

Spurrier: "We'll talk about trying to play our best against LSU." Nothing to the team about giving the state a bright spot after this week.

Steve Spurrier: "Sometimes our practices aren’t real pretty either. I wish I could say we look real good in practice but..."

— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) October 6, 2015

Injury update:

RB Brandon Wilds should be 100% by Saturday, and will start if he is. It looks like he'll be able to practice most of the week.

WR Deebo Samuel has been kept out with a hamstring injury the past couple of weeks, but could be back this week.

C Alan Knott could come back this week, but Spurrier believes Zack Bailey has filled in just fine thus far.
