Spurrier, South Carolina running with two quarterbacks
TUSCALOOSA — A quarterback by trade, Steve Spurrier has a reputation for cranking out quality passers.
On occasion, he’ll even develop two at a time.
Though his 2010 South Carolina team has a defined starter in the long-embattled Stephen Garcia, Spurrier is not afraid to use up-and-comer Conner Shaw in a pinch. No, it’s not a true two-quarterback system like he occasionally tossed into the game plan at Florida in the 1990s, but the threat of a change forces extra time spent preparing for a different look.
“It can work,” Spurrier said of the two-quarterback offense. “It usually doesn’t work for a long time, though. It’s usually one of those quick fix things. We all love to have a No. 1 quarterback who is clearly your best one. That’s what we shoot for, but if you have two that are very similar in ability, then I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playing both of them.”
