South Carolina running back Kevin Harris (20) rushes in for a touchdown. Gw43033
South Carolina football RB named preseason candidate.
Kevin Harris was overlooked a bit last year despite leading the Southeastern Conference in rushing throughout the regular season. The Gamecock ball carrier eclipsed 1,100 yards and added 15 touchdowns to boot. Still, Harris was snubbed for first-team all-conference honors.
The team’s lack of success during the course of the year probably added to Harris’s being overlooked, but one could also argue that it made the back’s accomplishments that much more impressive. The Gamecocks had absolutely no passing game, allowing opposing defenses to key in on the offense’s best player.
