In most instances, South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp isn’t a stickler about time of possession, but this isn’t most instances.
“You can swing it however you want to look at it, whether it’s a positive or a negative for you, and there’s no question right now for us that it’s a negative,” said Muschamp, whose team has lost two of its past three heading into Saturday’s home game against Arkansas. “It’s our inability at times to get off the field defensively and maintain consistent drives offensively.”
The combination of those things has left the Gamecocks (3-2, 1-2) 10th in the SEC in time of possession, and the problem is only getting worse.
