Each of the three opponents is ranked in the Top 25.The outlook for another Razorback victory this season isn’t good.The Hogs face No. 20 South Carolina at 6:45 p.m. Saturday in Razorback Stadium, travel to No. 8 Texas on Nov. 21 and then close the season hosting No. 24 LSU on Nov. 28.Regardless of what the AP voters think, I would deem South Carolina as the most winnable game for the Razorbacks among the three.Shane Beamer’s Gamecocks are 7.5-point favorites coming into the game, which seems a bit low to me, but there are questions about the health of their star quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who is one of the most electrifying players in the college game when healthy.Arkansas leads the all-time series 14-10 over South Carolina. The Hogs won the last matchup between the two teams 44-30 in 2022. South Carolina’s last win in the series was in 2017.Arkansas coach Ryan Silverfield admires the resilience Beamer and his Gamecocks have shown this season. Their improvement throughout the season has impressed him.“I think it kind of shows you the culture that Coach Beamer’s built,” Silverfield said. “Obviously, they didn’t have the year they wanted last year, and the rough start this year. I think everybody knew it was getting a little hot for him. But, the players believe, they work and they bought into what he’s been preaching there, and he’s had some success there.“So, they haven’t quit on him, and they come out and they rip off four in a row. In fact, if you watch the TV copy versus A&amp;M, they talked about them being the hottest team in college football right now.”Former Razorback offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, under Sam Pittman, returns to Fayetteville after four seasons as the play-caller for South Carolina, which has developed into one of the best offenses in the SEC.The Gamecocks are averaging 452 yards per game with Sellers averaging 300 yards of total offense himself.The talented quarterback has 24 total touchdowns this season and stands as one of the most electrifying players in the game.The offense should look familiar to Razorback fans because it uses the same concepts Briles coached at Arkansas.“Coach Briles, you guys know his history here and has done an excellent job as an offensive play caller,” Silverfield said. “They spread it around. They go up-tempo when they need to. But the quarterback, he’s the leading rusher, and obviously, he’s dynamic. He can throw in the pocket with the best of them, make any throw out there. He can throw on the run. He can run himself, and so he’s as dynamic a player as there is in college football.”Mazeo Bennett Jr. leads South Carolina with 38 receptions for 497 yards and 5 touchdowns. He averages 13.1 yards a catch.“They also have a receiver that’s back-to-back years as the number one guy on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List. They’ve got some explosive playmakers. I’ve talked to quite a few NFL scouts that have come through here, and they said by far and away South Carolina arguably has one of the best rosters in all of college football. So, really, really talented and their offense is certainly hitting on all cylinders.”Do the Hogs have a chance to win this game?Frankly, I don’t think so. The Razorbacks have played well on defense at times this season but seem to have one or two critical breakdowns each game that prove costly.As Forrest Gump would say, Arkansas’ offense is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.At times, the Razorbacks appear capable offensively, but fumbles, interceptions, confusion and chronic breakdowns always seem to gum up the works.Simply put, the Gamecocks are hot, playing their best football of the season, and the Hogs are just not.One thing I would suggest to Razorback power brokers is that they pay close attention to Briles and his offense.Some program is going to give him the opportunity to be a head coach someday. It may be after this season.My understanding is that Silverfield will get at least another season as the Hogs’ head coach, whether Arkansas wins another game or not.However, if that isn’t the case or things change, Briles might be ready to step up and take command of a program similar to what Will Stein did at Kentucky.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4Tqupn_1H3LCnHJ00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4Tqupn_1H3LCnHJ00" width="716" height="470" ></figure></div></body>
