Former South Carolina star running back Marcus Lattimore seems quite fond of the Gamecocks’ current backfield, along with new position coach, Bobby Bentley. Earlier this morning, he sent out this tweet:

In a 13-10 come-from-behind win over Vanderbilt last night, AJ Turner, a freshman, rushed for 70 yards off 13 carries (5.4 ypc). South Carolina totaled 121 rushing yards in all, as it outscored the Commodores 13-0 in the second half.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see coach Will Muschamp lean on his young running back moving forward as the passing game continues to gel between Perry Orth and Brandon McIlwain under offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.
