Sometimes the pass seemed a little underthrown. Sometimes the receiver was diving for the ball and couldn’t hold on. And sometimes, it just bounced off their hands.
It’s happened in all sorts of ways, but one thing is clear — the number of dropped passes by South Carolina’s receiving corps so far this year has been the subject of intense scrutiny, and that scrutiny only got worse this past weekend as several Gamecock wideouts couldn’t maintain possession at key points in a 24-10 loss to Kentucky.
After that loss, junior receiver Bryan Edwards shouldered the blame, calling it the worst he’s ever played while at USC.
