Will Muschamp came to Columbia preaching defense. And as he rebuilt the South Carolina football team on that side of the ball, he preached turnovers as a way of living.
It has paid off.
The SEC is a conference known for defense, but no team has taken the ball away more than Muschamp's Gamecocks. In 11 games, they've taken the ball off opponents (the head coach's preferred phrase) 21 times.
That's two more than Alabama and Texas A&M.
