The South Carolina football team is looking for production in its running back room.

Just over a week ago, the South Carolina football program learned that freshman sensation MarShawn Lloyd would miss the upcoming season after suffering a knee injury in the Gamecocks’ first fall practice. The ACL tear was a non-contact injury, and has left the team wondering which of the remaining running backs will step up in Lloyd’s absence.

There are four options, but the position group remains largely unproven, at least to Gamecock fans.
