"We Don't Feel Bad, and You Guys Can't Make Us Feel Bad"

Williams-Brice Stadium, SC (WLTX) -- After only three losses on the road to SEC opponents, the Head Ball Coach is defending his Gamecock football team, saying the young squad should be proud of their 6-3 (3-3, SEC) record.
"We haven't lost to Eastern Illinois or someone like that," Head USC Football Coach Steve Spurrier said, "We've lost to some good teams on the road. So, we don't feel bad, and you guys can't make us feel bad."
Including last week's 31-13 loss to Tennessee in Knoxville, the Gamecocks have lost 20-6 to Alabama in Tuscaloosa and a heartbreaking 41-37 loss Between the Hedges in Georgia.
The next game for Spurrier's team is on the road against the Razorbacks of Arkansas in Fayetteville at 12:21 p.m. on Saturday. Spurrier said junior free safety Chris Culliver would sit out during the game due to a shoulder injury.
"We're looking forward to a change," Spurrier said, "Looking forward to playing our second day game of the year."
Spurrier said his defense will have to tighten up, as they'll face a Razorback team that leads the Southeastern Conference in pass offense, and is second in total offense.
"Hopefully we can play a lot better, fewer mistakes," Spurrier said, "And give ourselves a chance to win."
"our first two fumbles were by freshman, a lot stuff caught up with us the last game, "the ifs and buts don't mean anything"
Spurrier said his team's loss to Tennessee could have been much closer if not for a few mistakes from some of the team's youngest players.
