Running game, special teams loom large

FAYETTEVILLE — Seems the South Carolina Gamecocks likely will run into trouble against Arkansas, yet in special ways could bedevil the Razorbacks.

Both 1-0 teams play their SEC opener at 11 a.m. today on ESPN at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Coach Shane Beamer’s unranked Gamecocks of the SEC East won their season opener 35-14 last Saturday in Columbia, S.C., over Georgia State of the Sun Belt Conference. They did so netting but 79 yards rushing on 32 carries.

South Carolina’s rushing defense allowed 200 Georgia State yards on 40 carries.

That doesn’t bode well against Arkansas.
