Ehh, South Carolina wasn't that bad at stopping the pass...

In 2011, South Carolina finished 2nd in the SEC against the pass.
In 2010, South Carolina finished 10th in the SEC against the pass.
In 2009, South Carolina finished 2nd in the SEC against the pass.
In 2008, South Carolina finished 1st in the SEC against the pass.

In 2007 (Nix's final yr as DC), South Carolina finished 1st in the SEC against the pass.

Probably because teams rarely threw at you because your run defense was atrocious (USC 1st in the SEC in passing attempts defended per game). Arkansas ran for 542 yards on you that year. McFadden tied the single game SEC rushing record.

Run defense: 12th in the SEC - 209 ypg - 43 apg
