USC beats Arkansas by 13

USC’s 34-21 victory against Arkansas was a nice win today. It improves USC to 7-3 overall. Will the gamecocks be ranked going into the Florida game?

With today's win, South Carolina is assured of at least a .500 record in SEC action. It is the sixth time the Gamecocks have finished at .500 or better in the league since joining the SEC in 1992.

Game ball goes to Jordin Lindsey, for his game-changing interception. It got the momentum back for SC today during a much needed time.

What did ya'll think of the “quarterback shuffle?" I am not sold on it. Felt Garcia played better today and deserves the start vs. UF next week.

USC Defense was stellar! USC sacked Razorbacks quarterback Casey Dick six times and knocked tailback Michael Smith, the SEC’s leading rusher, out with a shoulder injury in the first half. Smith rushed seven times for a season-low 25 yards, 98 yards below his average.

Gamecocks Defeat Arkansas, 34-21

have to disagree with you on the smelley / garcia play. While neither was particularly great it was smelley who had the better game through the air statistically and while he can not avoid the sack like garcia can he does do a better job of not turning the ball over. The Int. by garcia was pretty bad. We can not afford to do that against florida. I do think that the ole' ball coach will keep the qb shuffle going though because each qb changes the dynamic of our offense.

From what I can tell Spurrier likes this system so he can tell Garcia what to do when he is on the sidelines since he doesn't know the signals. I have a feeling we might see this 2 qb rotation the rest of the season.

best pass all day was the fade route to McKinley that Garcia threw.
