Arkansas defensive back Latavious Brini (7) tackles and forces South Carolina running back MarShawn Lloyd (1) to fumble on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, during the fourth quarter of the Razorbacks’ 44-30 win at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.

FAYETTEVILLE — Football teams that lose key players to injury throughout the course of a season often reference one thing in the aftermath: A next-man-up mentality.
