The part of South Carolina’s football team that has Virginia’s biggest focus

Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall didn’t stick to staid “coach speak” as he described the keys to South Carolina’s football team.

No matter how he said it, he identified the crucial spot his defense needs to focus on.

“South Carolina offensively, they’re as effective as their throwing game,” Mendenhall said. “So their point potential, to me, is tied to their pace and to their pass game.”

He was breaking down what his own squad, a 7-5 ACC team, had to focus on, while trying to slow the Gamecock in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte at noon on Saturday.
