Without a doubt, running back Mike Davis was the one who got it done for the South Carolina running game. While rushing for 2,440 yards and 22 touchdowns in three seasons at South Carolina, Davis will surely be missed. But since he has moved on to the NFL, where does that leave the Gamecocks running game?
There is actually an abundance of talent and experience behind the former running back starting with the fifth-year senior, Brandon Wilds. Rushing for 1277 yards on 256 carries and averaging a good 5 yards per carry since playing for the Gamecocks behind Davis, there is good reason to suspect that Brandon Wilds will be the starting running back this season.
