The Atmosphere in Columbia

"I just think there's a lot of guys that have played on the road, understand what it takes to win on the road, whether it was Mississippi State last year, Missouri at homecoming. There's a lot of guys that have played in that atmosphere. It just requires a focus, it requires an understanding that you're in it every single play," Brian Kelly said on Monday.

"An incredible sense of urgency and I'm certain that they're aware of what is going to be necessary for them to be successful. I'm not dealing with a group of guys that will be surprised by what 'GameDay' and South Carolina and all that will be about. And we'll prepare for it with crowed noise and things of that nature this week to get them ready. It'll take a great effort, a team that's locked in and playing their best when their best is needed."
