Spurrier Encouraged with Recent views of QB Garcia

The last memory many South Carolina fans have of Stephen Garcia is from the Outback Bowl, when the Tampa native had four first-half turnovers in a 31-10 loss to Iowa that was about as miserable a homecoming as could have unfolded.
But Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier recently saw footage of Garcia that was far more encouraging - video of the Gamecocks' spring game in which he completed 13 of 20 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns.
"I called Stephen that night and I said, 'You know what, you actually looked pretty good in the spring game. You took your steps, had your head in the right position, one time you stepped up and hit Dion (LeCorn) on a little short corner route, instead of taking off running,' " Spurrier said Thursday following his annual media golf outing. "I said, 'Last year you would have just taken off running anywhere.’ “
As he mentioned last week at the SEC Media Days, Spurrier said Garcia has to stay healthy because none of his backups has taken a snap in a game. The SEC Rocks!
