The game should not be affected, the coach indicated. The Tigers and Gamecocks meet at 11 a.m. CT Saturday. South Carolina announced Sunday that campus would be closed Monday.

Coaches arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium on Sunday morning to review game film. At about 10:30 p.m. CT, they were told to leave. The stadium is located near the Congaree River, which runs along side the campus and downtown Columbia.

“We were advised to leave the stadium and try to get home,” the coach said. “Most of the coaches … one or two defensive coaches were there when I left. They were advised to get out.”

Shawn Elliott, South Carolina’s co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, lives near a creek that has swelled. Elliott is the only known member of the team or staff closely affected by the flooding, Spurrier said.

The National Weather Services reported that the river gauge at the creek – Gills Creek – was “swept away” over the weekend.
