South Carolina and Texas A&M are both coming off of up-and-down seasons, and poor play on defense was a major culprit for both teams. South Carolina finished 91st in the country in scoring defense and 94th in total defense, while the Aggies were 77th and 104th in the two metrics. To remedy the issues, both teams hired new defensive coordinators. The Gamecocks brought in Jon Hoke, Spurrier’s former DC at Florida who last coach defensive backs for the Chicago Bears, as co-defensive coordinator along with Lorenzo Ward.
