South Carolina’s football team has 2 ½ weeks before it debuts it new up-tempo offense against Coastal Carolina.

“Where it’s changed us as much as anything is practice,” Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said. “We’re getting a lot more reps than we’ve ever gotten, and you’ve got to be mindful of that. We have the catapult system, which we’re monitoring our players’ mileage, we’re monitoring their heart-exerting efforts.”
That catapult system tracks distance traveled, speed and other factors.
