South Carolina is a 7-point favorite over Florida on Saturday, but head football coaches (or at least most college football coaches) don’t look at point spreads.
Honestly, most college football coaches don’t look at their opponents’ outcomes. What college football coaches look at is what their opponent “might” do. That’s a good thing this week. If Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp tried to sell his team on what Florida has done recently, he would have a tough time getting his players ready for this game. Instead, he is selling them on what the Gators “could” do if they put all their various pieces together in the right combination for one afternoon.
