The person who posed the question to South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp almost immediately got the pushback, just for dropping the idea.
He made the mistake of implying South Carolina’s corners have been physical in their tackling.
“Our guys? Physical? At corner? Come on man,” Muschamp said. “I don’t know about that.”
South Carolina’s secondary has been solid the past two seasons doing what’s asked, preventing big plays and forcing offenses to work down the field. But there were moments when corner tackling, or issues with it, came to the forefront, either in highlights or in the coach’s commentary.
