South Carolina’s coaching staff has identified five factors it believes are critical to the Gamecocks’ success on the field. The 2018 season proved their point, head coach Will Muschamp said.
In the seven games South Carolina won three or more of its critical factors, it won. In the six games it lost, it did not.
“That’s indicative of kind of how we were, very inconsistent at times,” Muschamp said.
Again this year, starting with the spring practice, the Gamecocks will pour their energy into coming out on top of each of these five factors — turnover margin, explosive plays, field position, red zone and the fourth quarter.
