COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Will Muschamp is in no hurry to reveal who will be the Gamecocks starting quarterback.Muschamp said he will likely wait until right before the Gamecocks open the season at Vanderbilt on Thursday night before revealing if hell go with experience in senior Perry Orth or youth in freshmen Brandon McIlwain or Jake Bentley.South Carolinas depth chart has all three listed as potential starters and Muschamp did little to end the guessing game, saying he and quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper needed to talk over the choice a bit more before gametime.We have a pretty good idea of where were headed with it, Muschamp said. Obviously as many practice opportunities as we can give these guys the best.He did say that he expected to use at least two quarterbacks during the game.We feel that way, Muschamp said.With such a young offense (if McIwain starts at quarterback, it will make seven sophomores or younger in the lineup), Muschamp believes it is to his advantage to keep Vanderbilt prepping for all the Gamecocks quarterbacks.Looking at it from the outside, it is a little frustrating being who are we getting ready to play, because they are a little different skill set as far as what weve put on film with those guys, Muschamp said.Its not only frustrating to opponents.Wed both like to know, Orth said of the competition between himself and McIlwain. We both have played very well this camp, but whatever decision the coaches make, well be supportive of that.Orth threw for 272 yards against the Commodores last October in a 19-10 victory that was South Carolinas last win in a season marked by Steve Spurriers stunning departure as coach.McIlwain, who enrolled in January, has shown poise, talent and the ability to quickly pick up the fast-paced schemes thrown his way.Orth is preparing like hell start.I did the same thing last year, he said.Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason believes his offense, which gave up five turnovers in the loss, will be a sharper one than the Gamecocks saw that time.I can tell you, this offense has given us all we can handle, said Mason, who also serves as Vanderbilts defensive coordinator. Theyre as good as theyre ever been since Ive been here. Those guys are working hard, making plays and getting better.Roper has said this month that experience will go a long way because of how young the Gamecocks will be everywhere else. It wont, however, outweigh someone no matter how new to the program, took the job with a strong performance.That hasnt happened yet.Muschamp was asked if his quarterback battle was simply a ploy to keep Vanderbilt in the film room trying to break down which of the three passers will play.I think that certainly if I felt like somebody had been head and shoulders above the other guys, then certainly we would have probably named a starter, Muschamp said. I dont know that weve seen that.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- The congratulatory messages started rolling in long before Jimmie Johnson had finished his obligatory championship photos. Larry Bird. Mia Hamm. Michael Phelps. Mario Andretti. Drew Brees. The Chicago Cubs.The list of dignitaries -- and the friends and neighbors who toilet-papered his North Carolina home overnight -- shows just how significant this latest milestone is for Johnson.Greatest of all time? Maybe. He certainly deserves to be in the conversation.Johnson joined Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt as the only drivers in NASCAR to win seven titles with a race-winning run Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. His record-tying championship came in a bizarre year for Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports team, and on a day that did not belong to the iconic No. 48 Chevrolet until the final lap of the race.Hendrick Motorsports was not good this year, and never found the speed to match Joe Gibbs Racing and its fleet of Toyotas. Johnson, for most of the season, was never even mentioned as a title contender.The organization buckled down, improved its cars and got Johnson in position to race for his seventh title.Then he did the rest.When Carl Edwards wrecked Sunday night to essentially lose the championship, Johnson charged through the melee and found himself suddenly leading the two remaining title contenders. On a night when hed started last -- his team was found to have manipulated the body of his car after it had passed inspection -- and clearly wasnt as good as the other three contenders, he had somehow lucked into the lead.He still had to earn the win, though, and did it with the restart of his life to hold off Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. He led one lap and it was the one that mattered.He is probably the most underrated champion in this sport, said his crew chief, Chad Knaus. He is a fantastic, fantastic individual, an amazing race car driver. Most people in the situation we were in just in would crumble. He didnt even waver. He knew what he needed to do. He knew what the demands were on him at that point in time, and he made it happen.Weve got a great team. Weve got a great owner. Weve got a great everything at Hendrick Motorssports.dddddddddddd But the fact of the matter is the real spark in this whole thing is Jimmie.A fatigue perhaps set in when Johnson reeled off five consecutive titles. Fans didnt seem to appreciate his dominance, certainly not the way they revered Petty or Earnhardt.Almost each Johnson championship was met with a collective yawn, when they should have been celebrated for their unique achievement.Johnson, at 41, is the youngest driver to win seven. Petty was 42 when he did it in 1979, while Earnhardt was 43 in 1994. He also collected his seven titles in a 10-year span. Earnhardt needed 14 years to do it, while Petty did it in 15 seasons.Johnsons 80 career victories rank seventh all time, one spot ahead of Earnhardt.I think the five in a row was pretty phenomenal, and I think winning seven and tying seven is pretty special, said team owner R
