Gamecocks players calling freshman tailback ‘Jerome Bettis, the big bus’

South Carolina freshman tailback Kevin Harris didn’t even have to don pads before making a first impression on his teammates.

They just saw him walk into the weight room and got a sense of what his game was about.

“Strong,” sophomore corner Jaycee Horn said. “Since he came in, before he got on the field. We call him Jerome Bettis, the big bus. His legs are big. You look at him, his arms are big. In camp, he’s been running the ball real hard.”

Bettis, the No. 7-leading rusher in NFL history, is a pretty lofty comparison, but if nothing else, his powerful style was distinct.
