The issue with team tackling on defense has been at USC since 2016. I think this coaching staff just is unable to teach proper fundamentals in form tackling.

Muschamp keeps harping on it, and gripes about it in post-game pressers, but to me it's like Holbrook was with team bunting. The team under Holbrook could never properly bunt in games, and towards the end of Holbrook's tenure at USC someone asked him how it could be improved, and Holbrook just shrugged his shoulders and said something like they were world champions at bunting during practices.

That told me that, perhaps how the staff teaches and prepares the team in bunting during practices was most likely the problem. So going on 4 years now Muschamp keeps griping on form tackling by the defense, but they never learn to tackle. That's got to be on the staff and their ability (or lack thereof) at getting their players to learn how to tackle.

Maybe this staff needs to wait until they have 6-7 5-star players on defense before their defenses start tackling, like they had at Auburn or Texas or Florida. That doesn't work here at South Carolina - here you actually have to do some teaching....
