It begs the question: Why are so many offensive linemen leaving?
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer told reporters Friday that it was something he wasn't surprised to see. Beamer hinted USC may have encouraged some of the departures.
"We knew we needed to get better," Beamer said in a news conference. "Look, it is what it is. When you go 4-8, I think we gave up (43) sacks, if I'm not mistaken, it's hard to say that we played great up front. It is what it is."
