Looking at defensive trends. South Carolina has gone from [4]

269.2 total yards per game in 2011, to 314.3 in 2012, to 354.7 in 2013; from #3, to #10,to #21.

In those years they have lost players 2 to 3 key players per year that have not been replaced. My orange colored glasses say they will take another drop this year without Clowney,Quarles,Sutton,and Hampton. I don't see anyone of that caliber coming in to replace them. Add to that, the loss of Shaw who bailed them out on many possessions by running and converting 3rd downs, and I think they may end up with an average year.

One more thing to consider, the coots defense only defended 66 plays per game last year. That was in the top 10 in the country. If they finish in the 30 to 40 range at about 73 plays per game, their stats could explode on defense this year....

For what it's worth, the Tigers are trending the other way since Venables took over. And last year, the Tiger defense actually allowed less yards per play than did the Coots.

Here is where the coots are as of today. 4-4 and 89th in the country in Total Defense, 118th in tackles for loss,122 in sacks (14th in the SEC).


Annnnnd, look where we are...
