Why South Carolina football is poised to have its most NFL draft picks in over a decade

COLUMBIA — South Carolina football defensive coordinator Clayton White won't call it fake news but it sure sounds like it.

The topic was the Gamecocks' defense, specifically with turnovers, and it concluded turnovers were somewhat lucky.

He may have let out a little scoff, as he was confused how something his players practice two or three times a day, and focus on so intently is ultimately, was just some luck.

"We forced 88 turnovers in four years, that's a lot of luck," White said with a smirk.

White's been the orchestrator of South Carolina's defense since 2021 and the 88 forced turnovers in four years is the highest total in the SEC during that stretch.
