South Carolina Gamecocks Game Notes
The Gamecocks’ offense had some creative play-calls and greatly benefited from having a talent like Rattler behind center. He escaped trouble with his legs to keep numerous plays alive. Yet its offensive line struggled to protect Rattler and the Gamecocks’ runners finished with 79 yards.
Arkansas Razorbacks Game Notes
Arkansas sophomore RB Raheim Sanders rushed 20 times for 117 yards in a 34-21 victory over Cincinnati. Sanders checks in at 6’2/225 with a chiseled, rocked up frame but runs at a pace that is unusual for a back with his size. He served as the engine of the Razorbacks offense, blasting through arm tackles and finishing runs with impressive physicality against a young Cincinnati defensive front. A former four-star recruit who was rated as a top-15 athlete from the 2021 prep class, Sanders had been drawing rave reviews throughout training camp and has wrested control of the starting job in what was a divided backfield last season. Now that he is acclimated to the collegiate level, Sanders is poised to be a force for the Razorbacks and is currently going in the second round range in Devy drafts.
