With a list of players that includes Eli Manning, South Carolina offensive coordinator Kurt Roper has shown that he can be entrusted in getting the best out of his QBs.
When Will Muschamp took the helm of the South Carolina program, one of his key hires was Kurt Roper. Roper will be tasked with not only reviving an offense that only averaged 21.9 points a game (18th worst in FBS), but working with Muschamp in finding the quarterback that will hopefully put them on track to eventually winning football games once more. While Muschamp has shown grave concern with the team’s situation on defense, primarily the backfield/secondary, he can take heart knowing that in Roper, he has a coach on his staff that has a proven track record in developing quarterbacks.
