13th in a series previewing the 2020 SEC football season.
FAYETTEVILLE — No coach in the SEC enters the 2020 season with a hotter seat than South Carolina’s Will Muschamp.
The Gamecocks scored one touchdown in their final three games — losses to Appalachian State, Texas A&M and Clemson — to cap a gloomy 4-8 season. The expectation is Muschamp’s job status is in jeopardy if the Gamecocks don’t turn things in a positive direction this fall.
So it’s not a good time for South Carolina to be playing a 10-game, SEC-only schedule. The Gamecocks didn’t get crunched in the SEC’s two-game add process as Arkansas and Missouri did, as they drew Auburn and Ole Miss.
