Game Recap and Analysis

Many questions surrounded the South Carolina offense coming into the match-up with Arkansas. However, it was the defense who rose to the occasion Saturday afternoon.

The Gamecocks were facing an all but must win situation at Williams-Brice Stadium. QB Jake Bentley threw for three TD’s while the defense produced three more in a 48-22 rout of Arkansas. LB Skai Moore, LB TJ Brunson, and DB Keisean Nixon all had defensive scores on the day.

The South Carolina defense forced four turnovers overall and held the Razorbacks to just 330 yards of total offense. While the Razorbacks generally rely on their running game, the Gamecocks held them to just 106 yards on the ground. QB Austin Allen also struggled, completing just 12 of 24 passes for a mere 84 yards.

The Gamecocks will look to build off of a big home win as they travel to Knoxville, TN next weekend. Kickoff is set for Noon ET on ESPN.
