If turnovers are the Bible of South Carolina’s defense, they end up meaning lots of penance for the offense.
The Gamecocks were one of the best teams in the country last season at taking the ball away from opponents, and head coach Will Muschamp, defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson and players are constantly talking about how they want to keep that up in 2018.
In fall camp, it’s been the mission of USC’s offense to make that very, very hard. Last year, the Gamecocks weren’t quite as good at limiting turnovers as they were at creating them, and the offensive coaching staff has since implemented some punishments to remind players that giving the ball away will not be tolerated.
