Speaking on a conference call Wednesday morning, the South Carolina head coach confirmed that Garcia will be his starter at quarterback Thursday night when the Gamecocks open the 2010 season against Southern Miss.
Despite the pronouncement that Garcia had retained his job, Spurrier is still expected to play freshman Connor Shaw, who battled Garcia for the starting job throughout spring practice and into summer camp, in the opener and beyond.
Apart from the quarterback discussion, Spurrier also said on today's call that the school had yet to hear from the NCAA regarding its investigation into several members of the football program. It's already been announced by Spurrier that tight end Weslye Saunders will miss the opener due to an issue unrelated to the investigation, and there is still the possibility that at least a couple more Gamecocks could find themselves out in the cold.
