South Carolina was supposed to power the second-year of its rebuilding project on the strength of its offense. Instead, the Gamecocks finished the regular season 8-4 almost in spite of an offense that many thought would be the best of head coach Will Muschamp’s six years as a head coach.
Under second-year offensive coordinator Kurt Roper, South Carolina finished the regular season 12th in the SEC in scoring (24.1 ppg) and total offense (340.2), and Roper has been under fire from the fan base since early in the season.
“I just think we need to work on the small things, the small details,” said sophomore Bryan Edwards, the team’s leading receiver.
