Steve Spurrier is known for superior passing offenses. His famed "fun 'n gun" style spurred his 1996 Florida Gators to a national championship, and it later landed Spurrier a head coaching job in the NFL with the Washington Redskins.

After a turbulent stint in the pros, Spurrier took his offense on the road again, settling in Columbia with the South Carolina Gamecocks. Over the past three seasons, Spurrier has revved up what was once a stalled Gamecock offense, amassing a 21-14 record and earning him a Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year award in 2005.

This season, however, Spurrier has not been satisfied with only having a good passing team offensively. Now his dominance through the air has extended over to the defense.

The Gamecocks lead the SEC in passing defense, allowing an average of 153.7 yards per game. In nine games, the South Carolina defense has given up eight touchdowns and has gotten 12 interceptions.
