The Gamecocks had a rather sluggish start last weekend against Georgia State of the Sun Belt, including a scoreless first quarter. South Carolina led just 12-7 at halftime before turning on the jets in the second half, outscoring the Panthers 23-7 en route to a 35-14 win and cover as the Under connected.
The Razorbacks were locked in a Top-25 battle last week against Cincinnati, a playoff team from a season ago. Arkansas opened the scoring with a 15-yard TD run by QB K.J. Jefferson, and it led wire to wire against the Bearcats in a 31-24 win and cover as the total pushed at most shops.
