With South Carolina tailback Rico Dowdle nursing a thigh bruise, Ty’Son Williams has stepped into the starting lineup the past few games.
But it looks as if Dowdle will be back out on the first snap.
During a pre-game hype video Saturday, Dowdle was announced as the starting running back against Arkansas. He started the first three games, but Williams started the past two.
Rico Dowdle announced as RB starter.

Dowdle has 139 yards on 45 carries this season. Williams has 251 on 41.
There were also some other changes, linked to issues on the offensive line and playing a power-running team.
