Garcia Stuggles, But Cocks get the Victory

Arkansas @ South Carolina--- South Carolina 34-21

South Carolina- Stephen Garcia struggled at quarterback and was pulled in favor of former starter Chris Smelley. The quarterback change seemed to not be a factor, due to the Gamecocks purely overmatching and outplaying the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Cock defense forced Arkansas into 3 turnovers and held the running backs to only 56 total yards all game. This win gives the Gamecocks 7 on the season and a winning record in conference play with a 4-3 mark. The Cocks now will head to Gainesville to take on a Gator team on a misson.

Arkansas- A week after winning SEC offensive player of the week honors, senior quarterback Casey Dick, severely regressed. He threw three interceptions. Three turnovers is hard for any team to overcome, especially on the road. Coach Bobby Petrino knew this Arkansas gig would be a rebuilding process, but did he really think they’d miss a bowl in his first year? I am not sure, but with their sixth loss of an already dismal season, it will be very hard to salvage this season, Next week Arkansas travel to Starkville to take on a Mississippi State Bulldog team as desperate as they are for a win.
