The Southeastern Conference will release its media predictions for the 2018 season on Friday. Where South Carolina lands in those projections will be a mark of the Gamecocks’ progress and their perception entering Year 3 under Will Muschamp.
Muschamp, South Carolina’s head coach, is pleased with the progress but cares little about the perception.
“Goals and expectations are great, but if you don’t understand what it takes to attain those goals and you don’t understand the work and the everyday operation it’s going to take to be successful, then you’ll never achieve those things,” Muschamp said Thursday on the final day of SEC Media Days.
