It took six spring practices, but Thomas Brown finally got to see almost all his new running backs on the field Tuesday.
Brown is South Carolina’s first-year running backs coach, but his first five practices he didn’t have a lot of running backs. Senior Rico Dowdle missed the first five practices with a groin injury, and senior A.J. Turner worked as a cornerback through the first five practices.
Dowdle “got back to some team stuff today so I think he’ll be fine,” Brown said. “From a competition standpoint, they all need work. I want to see those guys come out and compete every day and be consistent.
