Looking at pros in a tumultuous South Carolina football season.

The Gamecocks struggled to a 2-8 regular season, losing each of their last six contests. The defense, thought to be the strength of the team, allowed 36 points a game, good for 12th in the conference. The offense finished the year ranked 99th nationally in production at just 355.1 yards a game.

The results ended with head coach Will Muschamp being fired, a number of team members opting out of the season’s final three games, and, ultimately, the program’s worst season in 20 years.
