South Carolina ranked 122nd in the nation in the adjusted pace of play kept by SBNation.com. In the process, it ranked 12th in the SEC in scoring and yards, and offensive coordinator Kurt Roper was fired earlier this month.
Enter Bryan McClendon, the wide receivers coach, to take over the offensive game plan and play-calling for Monday’s Outback Bowl against Michigan.
