COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Steve Spurrier has the No. 1 defense in college football. Now, if he could only get his trademark offense playing the same way at South Carolina.

The Gamecocks coach said Tuesday he was proud of his defenders, ranked first in overall defense among Football Bowl Subdivision clubs. Spurrier says he’ll work this week to nudge his 79th-ranked
offense for South Carolina’s Southeastern Conference game at Ole Miss on Saturday.

Spurrier says freshman quarterback Stephen Garcia had his moments in last Saturday’s 26-13 victory over UAB. However, Spurrier will again wait until later in the week before naming a
starter for this week.
