Should South Carolina beat LSU on Saturday, it’ll move Frank Martin into a tie with Eddie Fogler for the fourth-most wins as Gamecocks coach.
Fogler’s 123rd and final victory at USC came at the end of his eighth season. Martin is 16 games into Year No. 7 in Columbia.
It was a trying first couple months, but the Gamecocks (9-7 overall) have caught fire in January and have shot up to the top of the SEC standings.
It’s all been a thrill for the man who sold Martin on the Carolina job in spring 2012.
