When Will Muschamp assessed his new team this spring, he saw some deficiencies on the roster. With an amount of youth that was “frightening,” especially at receiver and quarterback (except for Perry Orth), and a defense that struggled prior to Muschamp’s arrival, there was a lot of work to do with South Carolina.
“That's not the recipe for the winning the [SEC] East I can assure you of that,” Muschamp said.
Yet, if the Gamecocks (5-4, 3-4 SEC) beat division leader Florida (6-2, 4-2) on Saturday and get quite a bit of help from other teams in the race, there is still a scenario where South Carolina could emerge as the division champion.
