This lowly SEC team thinks it has what it takes to win its division

In his first year at South Carolina, head coach Will Muschamp will have his work cut out for him.

Despite coming off a dreadful 3-9 season, Muschamp believes his team has the tools to put it all together and make a run at the SEC East crown.

Will Muschamp asked about goals for this season: "We have good enough players here to win the (SEC) East," he says. #Gamecocks

Muschamp (continued): "That's going to be our goal every year, from year one to year 10 -- to win the East and get to Atlanta."

As for how they'll do that, South Carolina believes in sophomore wideout Deebo Samuel:

Will Muschamp just said Deebo Samuel can be "an elite player in our league."

The Gamecocks won just one of eight in-conference games last season. If the hope is to win the SEC East, they'll need a better and more focused effort this season.
