The first instinct for many is to blame the offensive line, and with South Carolina’s football team, that’s understandable.
The Gamecocks front has had its issues across the past three seasons. The loss to Georgia, which came before the storm-induced bye week the team is still waiting through, featured South Carolina’s offense sputtering. Coach Will Muschamp even said his team got flat-out whipped.
But when he went on his weekly call-in show, he sounded more satisfied with the group, especially in keeping quarterback Jake Bentley clean.
“We had one sack, and that was on a coverage sack where Jake had to scramble because they had good coverage down the field,” Muschamp said.
