Two seasons ago, the number sat at 14th in the country. Last year, sixth in a crucial defensive category for the South Carolina football team.
Right now, the Gamecocks sit at 88th nationally in turnovers forced per game.
In four games, their defense has five turnovers total, three interceptions and a pair of fumble recoveries. Last year, eight games featured two turnovers from the opposition. This year, there’s only been one such contest.
“It’s extremely frustrating when you look at the first four games,” coach Will Muschamp said. “As much as we emphasize it and go through it, that has been an extremely disappointing part of not creating momentum for our team, creating field position for our team in those situations.
