Gamecocks should run, numbers say. Doing it well has 2 key benefits

Against Tennessee last week, South Carolina’s offense had its highest run percentage of the season. The Gamecocks ran the ball 40 times and threw it 16 in a 27-24 win over the Volunteers. Senior offensive lineman Malik Young wants to do it against Saturday against Ole Miss.

“If we are run heavy, we will win the game,” Young said. “I feel like if we have over 100 yards, we will win the game.”

Young has reason to believe that. South Carolina is 17-3 under head coach Will Muschamp when it runs for more than 100 yards in a game.
