For the first five of South Carolina’s spring practices, the Gamecocks defense won’t work on one half of its defensive looks.
The next five, they’ll hit the reset button and work on something very different.
Some of the defensive linemen will spend the whole time with new line coach John Scott Jr., while others will be passed off between Scott and outside linebacker coach Mike Peterson.
All of this is about building what Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp calls a “multiple” defense, one that can deploy looks with three and four down linemen.
