COLUMBIA — One light year is about six trillion miles. Or, the distance between the secondary South Carolina has in spring practice, and the one the Gamecocks hope to put on the field in the season opener Sept. 1.
At least that’s according to head coach Will Muschamp, who said his secondary was “light years away” following last weekend’s scrimmage. If there’s been one common theme in Muschamp’s first spring practice at USC, it’s been concern over the defensive backs, a unit which was inconsistent at best in last season’s 3-9 campaign.
“We’ve just got to focus on the details,” defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson said after Tuesday’s practice.
