South Carolina started the year on a high note, downing Georgia State by three touchdowns and covering the spread. The Gamecocks now find themselves fighting an uphill battle to get to 2-0 as they hit the road to face the 16th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks this Saturday at noon.
The Gamecocks are definitely looking to improve offensively — with most of the emphasis hopefully going toward the run game and the offensive line — although this squad seemingly has its pass defense and special teams handled.
Much like South Carolina, Arkansas also covered the spread (by the skin of its teeth, though) in week one against 23rd-ranked Cincinnati, beating the Bearcats by seven points against a 6.
