The 15 practices for a bowl myth persists across college football.
The NCAA technically doesn’t limit how many practices a team can have before its bowl game. But coaches often speak of the “15 practices.” South Carolina coach Will Muschamp did at a press conference for his team’s Dec. 29 matchup with Virginia in the Belk Bowl.
Not that he would use all of them anyway.
His team will go six times in Columbia from Dec. 17-22. Then comes a holiday break. They’ll practice twice in Charlotte, have a walkthrough and then finish out the season.
