At the beginning of the year, most people would've been okay with 6-7 wins for considering the schedule for South Carolina in football. I predicted 7-8 wins including a bowl game, and I was off by one. If Deebo Samuel doesn't break his leg against Kentucky, Carolina most likely wins another game.
To me, nine wins is something that is absolutely insane considering the talent level that was leftover two years ago when Will Muschamp came on. Offense has obviously been his main problem up until this point; however, Bryan McClendon might just be the answer.
