A lot goes wrong for Gamecocks: Takeaways from USC loss to Arkansas

Just leaving Fayetteville after South Carolina 34-6 loss to Arkansas and man this this one is a gut punch. Gone are South Carolina's playoff dreams. Probably gone is college game day next week. Gone is all the playoff talk and all the excitement that it was going to be in that Georgia game. All because of a field storming crazy loss to Arkansas. I don't even know where to start with this one. I mean, this just was a team that looked flat coming out. Shane Beamer insists that they weren't looking ahead, that they had a great week of practice, all that. But, man, they couldn't execute. Drop passes, three interceptions, four turnovers. This team is now minus 11 in the turnover margin on the season. It's kind of incredible they've won six games when you have that. Obviously, the big story, Lenora Sellers doesn't play. The ankle injury from last week, he guttered it out. They beat Texas A&M. Seemed fine. He's listed as probable. Goes through pregame warm-ups. Apparently, all that didn't really matter because Cutterwood starts the game. I thought he was serviceable. Had a couple good throws here and there. The three interceptions are going to kill you. Had a couple mistakes. Didn't help that Nick Harborough was out, that Mazio Bennett went out. That a lot of his receivers were dropping passes, that his run game never got going, that his offensive line was getting dominated. That didn't help. It also didn't help that Arkansas had probably its best game of the year. K.J. Jackson looked phenomenal at times. He was just going after Judge Collier. Arkansas's receivers made a couple good catches, and they were just destroying South Carolina's defensive line at the line of scrimmage. I mean, there were a couple times they ran into the pile. The O-line would push through. Get a couple more yards. I mean, that's the physicality you want to see from Carolina, and you saw it from Arkansas. Where does this team go from here? They got six wins. They have number one Georgia next week, who looks like an absolute wagon. Who knows if Sellers is going to play, and if he does, how healthy he's actually going to be. They finish the season with Clemson. South Carolina wins seven games, has a win over Clemson. It's probably a successful season, but this season is always going to be soured by this night in Fayetteville.
