So how does USC look statistical in the SEC? Well since it is a bye week and there is nothing else to write about besides some contract extensions and a kid quiting the team.
Major area to improve is the USC rushing attack….USC ranks last in the SEC and 109th among 119 teams nationally in rushing offense, averaging 100.2 yards per game. The Gamecocks have fared worse against SEC teams, averaging 60.2 ypg. and 2.1 yards per carry. The team has not rushed for 100 yards against an SEC opponent.
Area to take pride in…..The Gamecocks rank first in the SEC and sixth nationally in total defense, allowing an average of 256.1 yards per game, and fourth nationally in pass defense (140.4 ypg.).

As we can see some work to be done going into the final stretch of the season but like JR things are looking good for Carolina in their upcoming match-ups just need to get better as a team on the offense side and continue to play “lights out” on Defense.
