No. 17 South Carolina was one of the hottest teams in the country, as the Gamecocks had won four consecutive games entering Saturday night’s road game at struggling Arkansas.
already on the verge of an upsetHowever, things haven’t gone as planned for the Gamecocks, as they are on upset already as they trail the Razorbacks, 17-0 at halftime. The Gamecocks have gotten on the board in the 3rd quarter, but still trail by double digits.
With quarterback LaNorris Sellers out, Cutter Woods went 13-of-20 for 159 yards in the 1st half. While those are solid numbers, they haven’t translated into points. More surprising than the offense struggling though, is the fact that, without Sellers, the defense gave up 257 total yards of offense in the first half.
Fans can’t believe what is happening to the Gamecocks, and they are voicing it on social media.
A loss to the Razorbacks would end the Gamecocks’ chances of making it to the College Football Playoff, and it would be devastating for the program. Next week, South Carolina welcomes Georgia to Columbia in what could be one of the biggest regular-season home games for the Gamecocks in a long time. All of the posistives the team has had the last month, is 30 minutes away from ending and potentially having Shane Beamer back on the hot seat.
It’s 17-6 Arkansas in the 3rd quarter, with the game airing on the SEC Network.
