South Carolina running backs coach Bobby Bentley is happy with his four top running backs so far this fall, but two are moving ahead of the pack so far this fall.

“I think right now Rico (Dowdle) and Ty’Son (Williams) have separated themselves a little bit, but all four of them are going to play,” Bentley said.

Dowdle, a 6-foot, 215-pound junior, had 66 carries for 251 yards in an injury-hampered season last year.

“He’s healthy now. He looks better,” Bentley said. “He’s more violent. When he turns his shoulders downhill, he’s looking for contact.”
