Instead of scrapping its entire plan in the running game and starting from scratch, South Carolina wants to figure out what is working and build on that.
It might take a while to find it.
The Gamecocks (3-1 overall, 1-2 SEC) are 12th in the SEC in rushing with 84.6 yards per game. They are one of only 10 teams in the country that doesn’t average 100 yards per game on the ground, and their 3.04-yards per carry average ranks 122nd in the nation.
Three times since last week’s loss to Texas A&M, South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp has referred to his running game as “nonexistent,” and that’s barely an exaggeration.
