Gamecocks Football: 78 Days Until Kickoff

Today there are 78 days until kickoff.

78 times last season the Gamecocks successfully converted 3rd downs.  They had 181 attempts for a 43.1 % rate.  That rate was 3rd best in the SEC (behind LSU and Alabama) and a big reason the Gamecocks were able to hold the ball so much last season.  An offense that converts 3rd downs often is almost always an effective offense.
