South Carolina’s anemic offense took a step forward on Saturday in a 34-28 victory over UMass.

Though freshman QB Jake Bentley looked good in his first start, it was the running game that powered the Gamecocks, racking up 194 total yards.

According to The State, OT Mason Zandi said he feels like the linemen and running backs are gaining confidence:

“It feels great,” offensive tackle Mason Zandi said. “You rush for 200 yards against anybody, that’s going to make you feel good as an offensive lineman and a running back.”

Junior RB David Williams thinks the Gamecocks can keep rolling against Tennessee this Saturday:

“I think if the line comes out and everybody does what we are supposed to do, we can have a great day,” South Carolina junior running back David Williams said. “They are a physical football team and we have to force our will on them.”

South Carolina hosts Tennessee on Saturday night at 7:15 p.m. Eastern time. The game can be seen on ESPN2.
