No Will Muschamp-coached team has been called for more penalties than the 2012 Florida team. No Will Muschamp-coached teams has won as many games as that team either.
That’s why South Carolina’s head coach isn’t overly concerned that his Gamecocks are the second-most penalized team in the SEC at the moment.
“If you go back and look at it, penalty yardage has nothing to do with winning a championship,” Muschamp said this week.
That’s comforting for South Carolina. The Gamecocks are averaging eight penalties per game and losing 74 yards per game because of them. The 2012 Gators were flagged 8.
