South Carolina’s football team got lots of practice on red zone defense during its preseason camp. It’s getting a lot more through two games this season.
The Gamecocks have allowed opponents into the red zone (inside their 20-yard line) nine times this season. No SEC team and only 22 teams in the country have seen more opponents’ possessions extend that far.
The good news for South Carolina is all that practice is paying off in the form of good red zone defense, which has been one of the biggest keys to the Gamecocks’ 2-0 start this season.
