Spring practice for the 2010 football season is upon us.

The “Head Ball Coach” has had over half a decade to get the right combination in place. Now we can see if they can produce the two essential milestones to compete for an SEC title. The two essential ingredients to meet this goal are explained here:

The South Carolina offense produced 347 yards per game of offense in 2009. This is 46 ypg. less than the average of 393 ypg. for SEC champions over the last two decades.

Meeting this goal would mean adding 644 yards of offense over the entire course of the 2010 season.

While this is certainly a monumental task, it is also one that would seem within grasp. If this is the first goal, what is the second? Can South Carolina meet it?

The South Carolina defense allowed 300 ypg. of offense for opponents in the 2009 season. The average SEC champion allowed 286 ypg. over the last two decades. This would mean that the South Carolina defense would have to trim a paltry 14 ypg. off opponents in 2010 to meet this goal.

Can South Carolina compete for the SEC title in 2010? The reader can be the judge of that.
