South Carolina coaches were working in the team’s football stadium studying film when they were told to leave Sunday morning. Why? Flood waters.

“A lot of areas were being closed down,” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said on a teleconference with reporters on Sunday.

Spurrier said officials expect the flooding to recede in the next two days, and he doesn’t expect it to affect the team’s preparation for the LSU game, starting with Monday’s practice.

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.
