‘You can call it swagger,’ the big turnaround USC expects in 2019

What South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp learned about the Gamecocks this spring. By

In three seasons at South Carolina, Will Muschamp and Travaris Robinson haven’t fielded a defense that finished ranked in the top six in the SEC.

Muschamp was hired as the Gamecocks head coach, and in turn hired Robinson as his defensive coordinator, in 2015 in part because the team’s defense had ceased to exist as a deterrent, and both coaches have a track record of putting very good defenses on the field. They haven’t done that yet at South Carolina, but one of the behind-the-scenes stories from spring practice this year is that they think they might be able to this year.
