Another week, another step forward for South Carolina’s running game, though it came with more injuries and a slow start.
The Gamecocks rolled up a season-high 194 yards against Tennessee. It came on 4.85 yards per carry, the second-best total of the season.
And it really didn’t kick into gear until after halftime.

USC had 49 yards on 13 carries before halftime, under 3.
