After suffering a tough defeat on the road at Texas A&M, the South Carolina Gamecocks return to Columbia to face the Arkansas Razorbacks as narrow favorites.
The betting line indicates this is viewed as a tossup, with the Gamecocks tabbed a 2-point favorite (and South Carolina clinging to just a -1.5 advantage in some books). Arkansas is coming off a 42-24 drubbing of New Mexico State, which was a confidence boosting performance after their own brutal, overtime loss against Texas A&M the previous week. Quarterback Austin Allen is looking to get back on track after what has been a largely underwhelming season for him relative to expectations.
