Following another offensively-challenged performance on Saturday, South Carolina football fell to 3-4 overall and 1-4 in SEC play with a 26-7 loss to Oklahoma.

Though the defense and special teams weren’t perfect, the Gamecocks’ biggest issue on the day (and on the season) was their inability to move the football and find the end zone. As such, the talk around Columbia has, understandably, focused on the offense.

But where does USC rank statistically? Below is a collection of South Carolina offensive statistics and the Gamecocks’ ranking compared to the rest of Division-I FBS football and the rest of the SEC.
