USC Spurrier says Miles to start for Gamecock's RB Lattimore

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier says backup tailback Kenny Miles will start for the 19th-ranked Gamecocks on Saturday against Vanderbilt in place of injured freshman Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore sprained his left ankle early in the second half of South Carolina's 31-28 loss to Kentucky. The Gamecocks (4-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) were ahead 28-10 when Lattimore got hurt. Spurrier said Wednesday that Lattimore had not practiced this week and was doubtful to face the Commodores (2-4, 1-2). "Kenny's a very good back who just hasn't had the opportunity to play much this year. So he's going to start the game and hopefully go a long way," Spurrier said. "If Marcus has a miraculous recovery and says he feels fine, we'll see about getting him in there."
