South Carolina could take a different approach in short-yardage and goal-line situations moving forward, coach Will Muschamp suggested Thursday.
“We’ve evaluated some things we think can help us,” Muschamp said during this weekly call-in radio show on 107.5 FM. “We’ll see how things pan out Saturday. We’ve had a lot of discussions.”
A lack of success in the running game, particularly on short yardage plays, was a source of frustration for Muschamp and the Gamecocks in Saturday’s loss to Kentucky.
On consecutive carries, A.J. Turner failed to convert on third- and fourth-and-1. Rico Dowdle was stopped in a fourth-and-goal run at the one-yard line.
