SEC DC: Gamecocks’ Bryan Edwards makes 50-50 balls far less than a fair fight

Bob Shoop is a pretty respected mind in the college football world.

The former Columbia head coach gained national prominence as a defensive coordinator, first at Vanderbilt and then at Penn State. He was brought on by Butch Jones’ Tennessee staff and has endured a rocky tenure.

And after South Carolina’s win against the Gamecocks, Shoop came over to Will Muschamp and delivered high compliments about sophomore wide receiver Bryan Edwards.

“The defensive coordinator for Tennessee said it’s not a 50-50 ball against Bryan Edwards, it’s an 80-20 ball. I think he’s about right.”

The Gamecocks will often look to take advantage of that downfield, just putting the ball up and letting him go get it.
